Bug #1228
closedCan't get work OSS v4 sound output
100%
Description
I'm trying to launch softhddevice plugin via
-P"softhddevice -v va-api -a oss"
or
-P'softhddevice -v va-api -a "oss: /dev/dsp"'
or vice versa but I can't get any sound output from my setup. 0.52 and current git versions concerned. VDR is 1.7.31.
Thanks.

I hope you have build the version with oss support.
-P"softhddevice -v va-api -a /dev/dsp"
oss is selected with a audio/passthrough device with path "/".
See README.txt:
-a audio_device
Selects audio output module and device.
"" to disable audio output
/... to use oss audio module (if compiled with oss
support)
other to use alsa audio module (if compiled with alsa
support)Updated by terranigma almost 12 years ago
- File softhddevice-compile.txt added
Actually I have tried "-a /dev/dsp". With this option, vdr just waits, nothing happens (no window, no output etc). But when I pass a non-existing file as parameter ("-a blabla") vdr window launches but no sound of course.
I'm sure it is compiled with OSS support. "CONFIG += -DUSE_OSS" line is uncommented in Makefile.
Thanks.

I haven't tested oss4 in the recent past, but OSS with Alsa OSS Emulation still works.
Check what the syslog reports:
fgrep audio /var/log/messages
try the same with a plugin debug version with -DDEBUG.
Wrong permissions?

My other apps are fully capable of play over OSS v4 including xineliboutput plugin. Actually, I have to notice that alsa emulation is not suffice to provide a real OSS environment.
I recompiled plugin with debug enabled but it doesn't print any useful info on output either.

I made a small bug fix perhaps this was your problem.
OSS4 with hd_audio is working here.
