Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] problems with windows binaries and audio

[Geof Nieboer]

OK, so you are getting *some* sound.  Your first email seemed to indicate
nothing at all was happening.

In that case, please add a throttle block to your flowgraph, set to the
audio sample rate you desire.

The audio sink is being overwhelmed with data from the file source and is
not blocking.
When 3.7.10.2 is released the windows audio sink will block when "OK to
block" is set to true.

oopps I meant "a nice 440 Hz" cosine can be heard nicely.

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] problems with windows binaries and audio

[Achilleas Anastasopoulos]

I also would like to report that a nice 440KHz cosine can be heard
perfectly OK with the default audio sink.

So now I have my doubts about the wav file source block instead of the
audio sink block

Any ideas?

thanks

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] problems with windows binaries and audio

[Achilleas Anastasopoulos]

Hi Geof,

thank you for your suggestions.


Here is some more information from my Windows 7 running gnuradio binaries
3.7.10.1

1)
When I use a simple wav file source with audio sink and without setting the
"Device Name" entry I get the following output:

INFO: Audio sink arch: windows
gr::pagesize: no info; setting pagesize = 4096
aOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaO

I can hear the sound but it is not coming out at the right speed/etc
regardless of what sample rate I choose.

So I tried the second method that Geof suggested: entering explicitly the
device ID and/or the string representing the device's name.

2)
Following Geof's advice I went to the "Device Manager" and the "Sounds,
video and game controllers" section and I see a device "High Definition
Audio Device". I clink on the "Details" tab and under the Property "device
description" i see "High Definition Audio Device", so this is what I put as
the string under the "Device Name" property of the audio sink.

The output then is:

INFO: Audio sink arch: windows
INFO: Warning: waveOut device 'High Definition Audio Device' was not found,
defaulting to WAVE_MAPPER
gr::pagesize: no info; setting pagesize = 4096
aOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaO
aOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOa
aOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaOaO

And the sound is the same as above.

So my question is the following:

How exactly can I find in the control panel the name of my audio device?
Clearly the one I used ("High Definition Audio Device") was not found...

Can it be that the problem is with the "wav file source" block and not with
the audio sink block?

Thanks
Achilleas

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] problems with windows binaries and audio

[Geof Nieboer]

The audio device in the windows audio sink can be used one of two ways,

First is to use a number which is the device ID of the audio device, the
second is to enter a string representing the device's name.

Realize, however, that there is no way to interactively iterate through the
list of available devices, so you'll have to figure out the ID's/names
yourself through the control panel.  It will give a warning in the output
log if what you entered is not found so you can least use trial and error.
If it can't find the device you entered, or you don't put an entry in, it
will use the WAVE_MAPPER device.

Hi

 

Mine works, I am using 3.7.9.2

So not a problem with the inary, it worked on Both Win 7 and Win 10

 

I am not a home a he moment so don’t have  ss to my PC, bt I just plopped the 
Audio Sink down and it worked

 

Ood luck

Subject: [Discuss-gnuradio] problems with windows binaries and audio

 

Hi,

 

I have installed the windows binaries from GCNDevelopment

http://www.gcndevelopment.com/gnuradio/

 

A simple test with a wav file and an audio sink does not seem to work.

I have changed the config file to use audio - windows but still this is not 
working.

(same grc file works fine on Linux).

I have tried this on both Windows 7 and 10 with no success.

 

Can someone report if they had success with audio on Windows with these 
binaries?

 

Any ideas as to what else I can try?

 

thanks

Achilleas

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] problems with windows binaries and audio

[Achilleas Anastasopoulos]

Thanks Geof,

How exactly can I do what you are suggesting in GRC?
The only available controls on the audio sink is the bit rate and an entry
called "audio device".
What exactly should I enter in this entry?

thanks again,
Achilleas

[Geof Nieboer]

Achilleas,

There are several others who had had success, so there must be something
unique in your setup .  Do you have more then one audio device installed?
If you do perhaps it is being routed to the wrong audio device.  The
default is the windows wave mapper which normally should send it to your
default audio device.  You can try specifying the audio device in the block
settings.

The audio -source- is not yet implemented but it will be in 3.7.10.2 when
released

[Marcus Müller]

Hi Achilleas,

it's nice to be hearing from you :)

So, I know of at least one other person trying [1] to get audio under
Windows to work correctly. At least, he got /choppy/ sound.

I know this isn't great help, but maybe it gives any of you a place to
start :(

Best regards,

Marcus
