No audio output

[Deepak J]

Hi,
I've been trying to play some music(mp3 and wav) in my pi, but end up getting some errors.So I did some troubleshooting myself referring the net but still couldn't get the pi to play the music. I'm trying to play through the analog audio port.
I got an output in the analog port using the following code given in elinux:

Code: Select all

cd /opt/vc/src/hello_pi/
./rebuild.sh
cd hello_audio

./hello_audio.bin

The following are the outputs of some of the commands that i came across:

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ cat /proc/asound/cards
 0 [ALSA           ]: bcm2835 - bcm2835 ALSA
                      bcm2835 ALSA

Any help would be greatly appreciated.. I only require the audio out of the analog port and wouldn't mind if there is no audio output through the HDMI port..
Thanx in advance..

Have you tried

amixer cset numid=3 1

which is meant to force the Aux socket rather than HDMI.

Yep I tried that with the following output:

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo amixer cset numid=3 1
numid=3,iface=MIXER,name='PCM Playback Route'
  ; type=INTEGER,access=rw------,values=1,min=0,max=2,step=0
  : values=1

But when I tried to play the mp3 got the above errors...

Ohkk i managed to play mp3 files after executing the following commands using mpg321 and also using cvlc

Code: Select all

sudo modprobe snd_pcm_oss
sudo modprobe snd_mixer_oss

I can play wav files using cvlc but then the cvlc program doesn't terminate itself after the audio is played.

In the graphical way vlc plays both .mp3 and .wav properly but while playing wav files it outputs an error
"No audio device"
