I am relatively new to gnuradio - I’ve been trying to get everything up
an running - after long vacation - I’m back at it. I’m struggling with
the “sound” part of it.
I’m running FC5 on a compact computer with an nvidia sound card. I am
following the instructions given in wiki for FC5 build (did most recent
last night)
gr-audio-oss seemed to configure and build along with most everything
else. When I run dial_tone.py - I get a dial tone out of speakers -
When I run, usrp_wfm_rcv.py, with -f 107.9M (Boston area FM station) - I
get indication of signal - demodulation seems to function - but nothing
out of speakers - not even white noise. Seems like an issue with the
audio sink or something. Any idea where I should be looking for the
problem?
Thanks

gr-audio-alsa is the preferred sound driver.
If audio works in dial_tone.py then it should work in the other app
unless your soundcard doesn’t support the sample rate it uses (32K). Try
using the following option on the command line:
-O plughw:0.0
This enables the alsa audio rate resampler.

at least now I have errors…
When I run with ?O plughw:0.0 I get:
?

Seems to be some issue with audio_oss???
I did note that gr-audio-alsa did not configure or build, so, I when
back
and:
./configure ?-disable-all-components ?-enable-gr-audio-alsa
I get the following error at the end of the configure
?checking for alsa >= 0.9 … gr-audio-alsa requires package alsa, not
found.
Configure: error: component gr-audio-alsa has errors, stopping
When I try to install:
alsa-lib-1.0.11-3.rc2.2.i386.rpm
With rpm ?Uhv , I get the message that alsa-lib-1.0.11-4.rc2 is already
installed - infact, I’ve got alsa-lib-devel and alsa-util installed also
What am I missing ? what more do I need?

You need to install gr-audio-alsa to use this.
