 |
|
Hi,
I'm on a clean Gentoo install and after setting up ALSA i've just tried to play some movies through VLC but it doesn't seem to be able to detect/choose the default output audio device. If i go to Audio -> Audio Device and there i choose the proper audio device then it seems to work fine. Does anyone knows how to fix this issue?
This is the emerged VLC version | Code: | | VLC media player 2.2.1 Terry Pratchett (Weatherwax) (revision 2.2.1-0-ga425c42 |
When i call vlc from console i can see this output, i'm on KDE Plasma 5 | Code: | [00000000012741f8] core libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.
[0000000001386528] qt4 interface error: Unable to load extensions module
|
These are the used USE flags to compile vlc
| Code: |
[ebuild R ] media-video/vlc-2.2.1-r1:0/5-8::gentoo USE="X a52 alsa avcodec avformat bluray cdda cddb dbus directfb dts dvbpsi dvd encode faad ffmpeg flac fontconfig gcrypt ieee1394 jpeg libass libsamplerate live matroska mp3 mpeg mtp ncurses ogg opengl png postproc qt5 run-as-root samba sdl svg swscale taglib theora truetype twolame udev upnp v4l vorbis vpx x264 x265 xcb xml xv -aalib (-altivec) -atmo (-audioqueue) -bidi -chromaprint -dc1394 -debug (-directx) -dvb (-dxva2) -fdk -fluidsynth -gme -gnome -gnutls -growl -httpd -jack -kate -kde (-libav) -libcaca -libnotify -libtar -libtiger -linsys -lirc -lua (-macosx-dialog-provider) (-macosx-eyetv) (-macosx-qtkit) (-macosx-quartztext) (-media-library) -modplug -musepack (-neon) -omxil -opencv -optimisememory -opus -projectm -pulseaudio -qt4 (-rdp) -rtsp -schroedinger -sdl-image -sftp -shout -sid -skins -speex {-test} -tremor -vaapi -vcdx -vdpau -vlm -vnc -wma-fixed -zeroconf -zvbi" CPU_FLAGS_X86="mmx sse" 20,450 KiB

Running | Code: | | speaker-test -t wav -c 2 |
from console through my user on the system works fine.

This is my alsa.conf
| Code: |
cat /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf
# Alsa kernel modules' configuration file.
# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
##
## IMPORTANT:
## You need to customise this section for your specific sound card(s)
## and then run `update-modules' command.
## Read alsa-driver's INSTALL file in /usr/share/doc for more info.
##
## ALSA portion
## alias snd-card-0 snd-interwave
## alias snd-card-1 snd-ens1371
## OSS/Free portion
## alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
## alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1
##
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
# OSS/Free portion - card #1
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
## OSS/Free portion - card #2
## alias sound-service-1-0 snd-mixer-oss

## alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss
alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss
# Set this to the correct number of cards.
options snd cards_limit=1
options snd-hda-intel id=Intel index=0
|
This is an unneeded ~/.asoundrc i've created just in case
| Code: |
$ cat .asoundrc
defaults.pcm.!card Intel
defaults.pcm.!device 0
defaults.pcm.!ctl Intel
pcm.hda-intel {
type hw
card 0
device 0
}
ctl.hda-intel {
type hw
card 0
device 0
}
|
My motherboard is an Asus P6T and this lspci |grep -i audio output
| Code: |
lspci |grep -i audio
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller
cat /sys/class/sound/card*/id
Intel
|
Hope someone can help me to fix this annoying issue.
Thx!

Compiling VLC media player 2.2.2 Weatherwax (revision 2.2.1-282-g863a425) solved the issue.

I'm also having a strange problem where sound works fine if I run the ncurses interface of VLC but not in the QT5 interface!
Where did you get this 2.2.2 ebuild that you speak of? |

| indeed vlc-2.2.2 solves the qt5 (or plasma) issue when vlc cannot detect alsa card correctly, I am unsure how it is related... but still. |
