Audio Sink Help

I’ve continued to hack away at the wx GUI stuff, primarily for a demo
tomorrow and this coming Monday. But in the process I’ve been trying
to figure out what’s going on with the Linux-based "aU"s that folks
have brought up in the recent past. I haven’t figured out what’s
going on, is the bottom line. I’m using the latest SVN trunk, and
both the original usrp_wfm_rec.py code as well as my “mod” GUI have
this issue on my Ubuntu Edgy install (on both a VM as well as a real
computer). Changing the sink’s “block” parameter does nothing. Note
that this does not happen on my OSX box … the audio sounds crisp and
there is no unexpected text output. Any thoughts on what I might try
for the demo tomorrow would be appreciated. I’ll check email again
tomorrow around 9:30 AM. Demo is at ~1 PM. Lots of work to do
before then. TIA! - MLD

Try setting the audio.sink output option to “plughw:0,0” as in
audio.sink(audio_rate, ‘plughw:0,0’, False).

Justin - Thanks for the tip. I did figure out how to correct the
issue on my native Ubuntu install: change the sound preferences to
all be for “ALSA” … no idea why this works, but it did. The VM
install still doesn’t work (even with your tip), but that’s probably
a VMware issue. - MLD
