Re: [Linphone-developers] Mediastreamer could not attach mixer to card

[Denny Wright]

Hi Jehan,

This was helpful. I had been using audio_stream_start to initiate the stream but it doesn't insert the MSVolume filters. I had to use audio_stream_new and audio_stream_start_now so I could do audio_stream_enable_gain_control() in between (as in linphone_core_start_media_streams).

Is there a good document on the audio_stream API? It appears to be missing functions to get/set the speaker volume although it does set the mic volume. I'm trying to figure out the scale (0-100 or 0.0-1.0 or is it per the sound card).

Thanks
Denny

Hi Denny,

Linphone make use of  MSVolume filters to control both capture and playback volume.

Hi Simon,
Thanks for the input. That may explain my issue. I'm using mediastreamer2 directly (with no linphone) and ms_snd_card_set_level() does not adjust the volume.

How then does linphone adjust the playback and capture volume? Do I have to use ALSA directly?

Thanks
Denny

I have also these errors with my notebook, and it's not preventing
linphone to work at all.

  

ALSA lib conf.c:4600:(snd_config_expand) Unknown parameters 0
ALSA lib control.c:902:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL default:0
ortp-warning-Could not attach mixer to card: Invalid argument
    

The first two are errors printed by libasound, and probably only it
knows what it means. They appeared after an upgrade of libasound (about
one year ago), without any change in linphone.
Alsa configuration is something very obscure to me. 

The warning indicates that the volume control mediastreamer2 can do on
the sound card won't work, however it is not used in linphone.

Hi all,

I get the following when ms_init() runs. I found a reference to this
error in the archive and it was resolved by editing alsa.conf (or
perhaps /etc/asound.conf?)

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/linphone-developers/2009-07/msg00064.html

Unfortunately, I haven't figured out what the edits should be. Does
anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks
Denny

I have an OMAP ARM board with a TI TPS65950 (i.e. TWL4030) and we're
only using a portion of the audio channels. Here's some of my ALSA

provide?
