Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] RuntimeError: audio_oss_sink

[Marcus Müller]

Hi Alex,
the dial_tone.py that comes with my version of GR from the git (docs/exploring-gnuradio/dial_tone.py) uses the audio_sink, and not the audio_oss_sink, and works quite fine on an alsa-only system.
Generally, when I grep my git repo for "oss_sink", only gr-audio/lib/oss/oss_sink.cc matches. Most probably you're using an ancient version of that script, where did you get that?

Greetings,
Marcus

I just installed gnuradio using pybombs, and the install appeared to complete with no errors.

When trying to run dial_tone.py, I receive the following error:

audio_oss_sink: /dev/dsp: No such file or directory
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./dial_tone.py", line 61, in <module>

RuntimeError: audio_oss_sink

I have tried using the flags '-O hw:0,0' and '-O plughw:0,0' with no success. I am running on Ubuntu 12.04 64bit, and have verified that the audio works otherwise (played some internet radio.)

Any ideas about what's going on here?

Thanks,
Alex Young
