I am evaluating an Ampro LB-P6d board which includes an onboard
PCI audio interface. The audio chipset is Trident 4DWAVE-NX PCI.
Obviously, ‘Audio’ doesn’t know how to detect this card. After
looking through QNX support site, it seems that PCI isn’t supported
and a reference is made to /usr/free/qnx4/multimedia/ALSA2.
The good news is that deva-4dwave detected the audio support.
The bad news is that I am unable to verify if it works. I tried
to use ‘aplay’ with several WAV files but none of those worked.
It printed out various text messages as it was playing like
“trident_XYZ … blah, blah, blah” and stopped as if it had
played something. I didn’t hear it though. I started up
usr/photon/mixer and verified that nothing was muted. I can
get the speakers to beep at me just like the PC speaker if
I hit “ESC” multiple times.
Has anyone had success with the deva-4dwave stuff? Can someone
send me a known good WAV file that they can play with it? Are
there any alternatives to aplay? I also tried mpg123 and it
did the same thing (looked like it played, but couldn’t hear
it).
I’d like to get something to play on this thing (other than
that beep I mentioned).
I have to get something working in QNX4, so switching to Neutrino
or RTP isn’t an option.
Thanks!
