Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] E100 - dial_tone.py error

[Ben Hilburn]

Sound works just fine on my E100.  I haven't done anything special aside from turning up the sound levels in alsamixer.

I have updated the c++ dial_tone example, and can successfully use it on my E100 without issue.  The updated code is here:

https://github.com/bhilburn/gnuradio-on-e100/tree/benchmark_uhd_work/gnuradio-examples/c++/dial_tone

Note that the commits for that are kind of scattered about, unfortunately.  After updating the dial_tone example, I turned it into a test for something else, and then realized the updated dial_tone on its own was useful and reverted it back.  As a result, you probably don't want to cherry-pick individual commits, but just grab the files you want.  I could put together a patch that does it, but I'm about to head out for the day.

Remember to enable the Makefile and SUBDIR, like the README file says in the dial_tone directory.

Hope this helps!

Cheers,

Ben

I have not been able to get sound working (quickly) on my E100 either so I gave up and plugged in a USB headset which I address as hw:1,0 in python.

Hi,

I am new to using GNUradio and the USRP hardware. I installed GNUradio, GRC and UHD on the E100. I have run the examples for the UHD and it is working without any problem. From the GNUradio examples, When I tried running the dial_tone.py, I get the following error: 

audio_alsa_sink[hw:0,0]: Device or resource busy

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "./dial_tone.py", line 55, in <module>

    my_top_block().run()

  File "./dial_tone.py", line 48, in __init__

    dst = audio.sink (sample_rate, options.audio_output)

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/gnuradio/audio_alsa.py", line 329, in sink

    return _audio_alsa.sink(*args, **kwargs)

RuntimeError: audio_alsa_sink

Also,in python, the importing of modules is working:

Python 2.6.5 (r265:79063, Dec 14 2010, 12:41:31) 

[GCC 4.5.2 20101204 (prerelease)] on linux2

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

>>> from gnuradio import gr

>>> from gnuradio import audio

>>> 

When I go to System--> Preferences --> Sound, a window pops up that says 'Waiting for sound system to respond'. Does this mean that there is no sound system? 

How can I verify that my GNUradio install on the E100 is done right? 

Thanks,

Divya.
