BTW it works too with only pcm device set to oss /dev/dsp and ctl set to hw 0 in asound.conf

[WanWizard]

You mean only installing

libasound-module-pcm-oss_1.1.9-r0.0_armv7ahf-neon.ipk

?

 

And can you post the asound.conf, so I can see which changes need to be made?

Hi,

I still think that some kernel modules should be enabled in order to properly created the /dev/ devices specified in the modified asound.conf without them no sound. I think that the needed module are specified in one of this thread compared with the OE-A own maintained BSP.
It is easy start Kodi use the RCU up and down in the menu you should heard the typical Kodi sound. If you heard nothing then the sound is not working in Kodi.
So far no sound in my Solo4K.

pcm.!default {

    type oss

    device /dev/dsp

}

 

ctl.!default {

    type hw

    card 0

}

 

I removed all libasound modules and reinstalled just the libasound-module-pcm-oss_1.1.9-r0.0_armv7ahf-neon.ipk

But that automatically installed all the others too. So from \usr\lib\alsa-lib I deleted all modules but libasound-module-pcm-oss.so

And sound still works in Kodi

 

Unfortunately since a new ffmpeg version came yesterday, audio dropouts were back. Today some kodi packages were updated and now I can't get video working anymore using kodi internal videoplayer and netflix plugin

 Hi,

 

I just flash latest OpenPLi 8 develop and install kodi on the VU+ Duo4K and Kodi doesn't start (like always in fact).

There is no /dev/dsp nor /dev/mixer moreover the /etc/asound.conf only containts:

 

# Global alsa-lib configuration

[dragnan]

Todays update to dev image brought back netflix working with sound in kodi. Contrary to the ffmpeg / libavdevice58 etc version from february 1st, some sound dropouts are back - but not quite as bad as before february 1st.

 

Would it be better to post to dev forum as this is dev image testing?

[soukrinzerent]

Hi,

 

I just installed kodi on Xtrend10000, Openpli 8, but Kodi returns a segmentation fault. Can anyone help?

boas pessoal, tenho a atualizacao do 8.0 desde o dia 18.12.2020, mas esta me sistematicamente a acontecer o que me acontecia antes desta atualizaçao, que é estar constantemente a parar e demora sempre algum tempo ate voltar a dar, sera que o problema sera da internet ou devido á falta de alguma configuraçao ?

agradeço imenso a ajuda pfv

[dragnan]

As of today, sound is gone again on VuUltimo4k - develop image 20210216

 

# modprobe snd-pcm-oss

modprobe: FATAL: Module snd-pcm-oss not found in directory /lib/modules/3.14.28-1.12

 

/dev/dsp is missing - again

[WanWizard]

On a new build / flash? libasound-module-pcm-oss still exists in the feed?

[dragnan]

yes on a fresh installation.

 

And the libasound-module-pcm-oss seems to install (along with other libasound-modules) when kodi installs - I didn't explicitly install it, but it is available anyway.

 

But /dev/dsp is missing again - I guess that is the problem... Wasn't that some build setting?

Edited by dragnan, 16 February 2021 - 22:59.

[WanWizard]

I don't see any issue with the package. alsa modules aren't kernel drivers, they are in usr/lib/alsa-lib.

[dragnan]

I don't see any issue with the package. alsa modules aren't kernel drivers, they are in usr/lib/alsa-lib.

 

yeah - but alsa-oss still requires /dev/dsp to work.... I have no clue whether missing /dev/dsp is kernel related or what it is - sorry

I can also confirm that /dev/dsp and /dev/mixer is missing on fresh developer install for Ultimo4k with KODI from feed and sound is gone or with "crackling" sound.

Have no idea how to get /dev/dsp and /dev/mixer installed.

[ricki]

Where to find Kodi for UHD Quad 4K?

[ricki]

i fond it for my box Vix img

[dragnan]

/dev/dsp is still gone for vuultimo4k. What did you do back then, when you fixed it?

[Piterek79]

Hello, any news about sound in kodi . Vosolo4k,

Hi, I registered on https://forum.kodi.t...=snd_pcm_writei .What should I ask for ? 

[Pr2]

This problem must be fixed by VU+ itself there is nothing Kodi can do about it. VU+ enable Kodi in the BSP but there is no sound.

VU+ needs to properly enable the ALSA support on there side and provide the audio devices in the kernel.
