[solved] mpd-cue failed to play to ESI Juli@ (hw:1,0)
Hello, everyone.
Not so long ago I've found a great mpd with external cue-sheets support.
But I can't make it to play to my favourite soundcard.
mpd.conf output section
audio_output {
type "alsa"
name "My ALSA Device"
device "hw:1,0" # optional
format "44100:16:2" # optional
message from error.log
Jan 11 21:12 : ALSA device "hw:1,0" does not support 16 bit audio: Invalid argument
Jan 11 21:12 : problems opening audio device while playing "downloads/Helios - Eingya (2006) Lossless/Helios - Eingya.flac?startms=1600920&stopms=1893066"
Playing to hw:0,0 is ok.
Is there any way to fix this? Maybe there are people, who has patched new versions of mpd to support cue?
Thanks in advance.

Hmmm... Sounds interesting. But I tried to build it with --enable-cue option, and it doesn't see my external cuesheets. Have I missed something?
As for my problem: mpd-cue plays almost fine via oss compatibility alsa plugin. Even, I guess and hope, resampling isn't used.
it does not need any options, its a playlist plugin. In theory (theory, because i havent tried it yet) you have the cue in the same dir as your wav/flac/whatever files and then do a "mpc load relative/path/to/file.flac" (yes, flac, dunno why)

So I'm trying to run mpd globaly (prefer to run it as seperate user) and it keeps failing (listed as failed in the list of daemons produced by systemctl) I checked and rechecked the file permessions and it seems like everything is correct so I figured maybe I made mistake in the config or maybe it's something else
my config
# See: /usr/share/doc/mpd/mpdconf.example

BTW I've got a couple of unrelated issues should I mention them in the same thread or is it OK to start a thread for each seperately?

Spider.007 wrote:Mpd runs as a system service
In this case the system service is indeed the one that failed, but mpd also provides a user service file and all the paths in demo's /etc/mpd.conf (even though that is the default config for the system service) seem to indicate a user service might be more appropriate.
Indeed, I've made the appropriate change to run it as user service
(put my mdp.conf in ~/.mpd, and add "mpd ~/.mpd/mpd.conf" to my home ".profile")

[SOLVED] MPD: Failed to create socket
I've been attempting to get MPD working today and I'm rather stumped here. I got it to start out of its default directory, however, that denied it access to my music folder. So, I switched all of that to a ~/.mpd folder as the wiki page instructed me (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mu … _as_a_User), and for purposes of keeping organized.
Now, however, I'm getting this error whenever I run "mpd ~/.mpd/mpd.conf"
Failed to bind to '[::]:6600': Failed to create socket: Address family not supported by protocol
I remember that happening before, and it had to do with user permissions and so on. I think I set "user" to "mpd" that time. "User" is now set to my user, where the .mpd folder is located. Is there a way to allow mpd to continue?
EDIT: My mpd.conf is:
playlist_directory "~/.mpd/playlists"
db_file "~/.mpd/mpd.db"
log_file "~/.mpd/mpd.log"
pid_file "~/.mpd/mpd.pid"
state_file "~/.mpd/mpdstate"
user "spencer"
mixer_type "software"
audio_output {
type "alsa"
name "Sound Card"
bind_to_address "any"

That worked, thanks. At first it gave "failed to open database" but in subsequent startups it's not doing that-- I suppose it created the file at the first time. audio_output's not defined, I suppose that's up to me to set it? It's autodetected at this point and seems to work fine. Should I leave it that way?
And out of curiosity, what was changed to fix my error?
First of all: thanks for testing. my setup creates 2 static hosts, instead of letting mpd autodetect it. sometimes ipv6 detection is prefered and this *can* lead to stuff not working properly.
Also i use absolute paths, to make sure everything works.
mpds audio output detection works decently, you can of course enable one in ~/.mpdconf to get rid of the warning.
Also you had one obvious error: you followed mpds wiki entry to start mpd as user. but you defined a user in mpd.conf. this will not work, since mpd can only drop previlegs to that user, when run as root.
Oh, please mark this thread as solved.

No HDMI Audio, Failed to Play Test Tone, Can't Change Default Playback Device
Hello, I'm experiencing some real trouble with my HP Pavilion dv6-2160us (with the i3-330M, no dedicated graphics) Windows 7-64 bit, SP1 PC, and I would greatly appreciate some assistance.
I've created a new thread because, despite the fact that many other people have experienced a problem similar to this and have posted what worked for them, nothing has worked for me.
The Problem(s):
My main problem is that I cannot get any audio to play from my PC to my HDMI HDTV.
When I plug my HDMI cable into my PC and TV, the TV is recognized in Playback Devices, but nothing can play to it.
When I try to test the TV in playback devices, I get a "Failed to play test tone" error.
Additionally, I'd like to mention some other odd behavior that I think may be a part of the main problem.
In Playback Devices, I cannot change anything. I can't disable or enable a device, I can't set default playback or communication devices, and I can't save changes inside device properties. Every time I try to change something, like the default playback device, nothing happens or the changes are immediately reversed.
The Question:
How can I get audio to play over HDMI on my PC (It's not a problem with the TV, my other HP machines play audio over HDMI to it just fine.)?
What I've Tried:
I have tried:
Changing the default playback devices, which I'm unable to do
Running the Windows 7 Audio Playback troubleshooters from within a clean boot state
Uninstalling and reinstalling the Intel(R) Display Audio driver
Uninstalling and reinstalling the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
Uninstalling the IDT PC Audio program from Programs and Features
Disabling the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
Nothing has worked.
The drivers I have are the latest issued by HP
How can I get this working? I would really appreciate some assistance.
I'm at the point where I'm ready to try pretty technically-involved suggestions, so, please feel free to post those.
Your expertise is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.Hi @dskrobow,

[SOLVED] MPD isn't making any sound while running as its own user
I can't make MPD produce any sound when it runs as its own user.
- I'm running MPD from systemctl
- If I run MPD as my own user I get sound
- I am not using pulseaudio
- mpv, for example, plays sound fine
- speaker-test -c 2 -D hw:1 plays sound fine
- journalctl -u mpd gives errors of the following type:

Ever since I installed the new drivers I get this error " Failed to play test tone"? Has anybody experienced this problem. Please help me get my older drivers installed. Everytime I try to uninstall the beta drivers and restart, DEVMgr instantly reinstalls the drivers. THANKS
I don't know how to solve the test tone error, but to prevent device manager from installing the same drivers again, do this:
After uninstalling all Creative products via the Control Panel -
go into Device Manager
Find your Sound Blaster entry - right click -> uninstall -> check box to delete driver software -> OK -> restart computer.
Those drivers should now be gone from your computer; your OS my install default generic audio drivers, but the Creative ones should be gone. -
I burned an iDVD project using iDVD v7.1.1 but the menus fail to play on either my iMac or my DVD player. During the buring process, the progress bar indicates the menus are being process and burned, but don't appear when I boot the DVD media. I have reviewed all the iDVD preferences thinking that perhaps my set up is the source of the problem, but I found no preference that specifically address the issue. I would appreciate any help or advice.
Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.
• Delete iDVD pref file - or rather start a new user/account - log into this and re-try
iDVD pref file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/ Users / "Your account" /Library/Preferences
and is named.
com.apple.iDVD.plist
While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iDVD.
• Free space on internal(start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple’s Disk Utilities application)
• Program miss-match. iDVD 5.0.2,Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
• Program miss-match. iDVD 6.0.4,Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iDVD’08 v.7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK will work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iDVD’09 v.7.0.4, Mac OS X.5.8 AND QuickTime 7.6.4 - is OK (does work under Leopard)
• iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/iDVD/Themes/ zzzzzzzzzz
or
Macintosh HD/Users/Your log-in//Library/Application Support/iDVD/Installed Themes/ zzzzzzzzzz
• Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 arecompatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
Last resort. from Craig. Solved the problem!! Finally!!
I deleted every iDVD applicationand folder from my boot drive,
emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
and I am up and running.
If You do a re-install be sure to get rid of all iDVD old parts AND then EMPTY the Trash-basket !
iDVD updated ?
Apple Codec updated ?
Start a New Clean project - or delete project assets
No of Colors - must be set to millions
EdinSF writes that, The 10.6.3update with an Open GL fix seems to have taken care of the problem.
Yours Bengt W -
I can no longer hear any sound from my speakers/headphones. This happened suddenly yesterday without any hardware changes or noticeable software updates.
-- The sound is not muted and the volume is set to full.
-- In the device manager, my SigmaTel HD Audio device has no warnings or errors.
-- I can't find any related messages in the Event Viewer.
-- The primary audio device is selected as the default for playback. The mixer shows my media player as being mixed properly to the device.
-- In the sound control panel, under Playback > Speakers/Headphones > Properties > Advanced:
- I get the error message "failed to play test tone" when I try to Test my Default Format (dvd quality)
- I get the error message "format not supported by the device" when I try to change my Default Format
-- Note that unlike others who have similar problems, I'm not joined to a domain
I've tried
* rebooting
* uninstalling and reinstalling the driver for the sound card
* "disable all enhancements" in the sound control panel
(http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/windowspro-audiodevelopment/thread/b09e43ba-3ffa-4a45-9593-8eee686f124a/)
* looking in the registry for some registry key (not found)
(http://www.consumingexperience.com/2009/04/failed-to-play-test-tone-no-sound-on.html)
Computer details
Dell XPS M1530
Vista Ultimate x64 SP1 with current updates
SigmaTel driver version 6.10.0.5866
**Update**
I followed the following steps:
* using regedit, go to HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\WMI\AutoLogger\Audio and change the “Start” value from 0 to 1.
* Reboot the machine
* Try to play an audio file.
* Post a link to the generated log file which you can find in: %WINDIR%\system32\LogFiles\Audio
but don't know where to post the resulting AudioSrv.Evm.001 file. It's also not human readable and I can't find what utility parses it for reading.
**Another update**
Still can't read the EVM. logparser 2.2 can't parse it.

Dell confirms it's an OS issue after troubleshooting with me for a couple of hours (wow)
Is there a way to look at this EVM file _without_ installing the Windows Driver Kit??Hi,
Thanks for posting in Microsoft TechNet Windows Vista Forum.
Upon your description, I see that you have done a lot of research and tests. Unfortunately, none of these troubleshooting works.
Based on my experience, this issue related to "failed to play test tone" can be related to several reasons. It also includes hardware defect. I am confusing why Dell confirms that the issue is related to Operating System. Could you let me know what operation Dell had troubleshot with you?
Meanwhile, here I just provide more troubleshooting except what you performed. If it doesn't work, I may also need to recommend that you contact Dell for support.
1. Microsoft has released a Hotfix to troubleshoot related to "Failed to play test tone".
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/930883
2. Make sure that these services are started.

3. I noticed that this issue occurred not long ago, I may need to suggest that you perform a System Restore to the previous restore point when the computer without any problem.
System Restore
==============
1) Please click on Start and choose All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, and then Windows Backup.
2) Click Restore on the left pane.
3) Choose Basic Restore.
4) Follow the wizard and click Next.
5) If you would like to restore everything in the backup, we can check the box “Restore everything in this backup” on the top of the window.
6) We can also browse and choose certain files and folders to restore. Then, click Next.
7) Then choose the folder to save the recovered files and click Next.
8) When we see a “Restore is complete!” message, click Finish.
Meanwhile, as I know, I'm afraid that there is no other way to look at EVM file except Windows Driver Kit. Maybe there are some third-party software that out of my mind can look at EVM files, you may need to perform more research on Internet.
Hope this helps. Thanks. -

Wrong forum... you need the MacBOOK Pro forum.

Hi, im trying to install mpd but im finding it harder than i thought, so i was hoping someone could share his wisdom with me.
I been following the wiki alternative setup but after creating all the files i try to start mpd and get the following error:
mpd /home/ekenbrand/.mpd/mpd.conf
daemon: cannot setgid to 92: Operation not permitted
If i try it using sudo i get this other message:
music directory is not a directory: "/home/ekenbrand/musica"
playlist directory is not a directory: "/home/ekenbrand/.mpd/playlists"

I must say i've tried disabling mpd group, changed folder group and permissions, the same errors appear. I have also tried doing a clean install and searched the wiki but had no luck.
Thanks in advance for your help

When ever I try to play any sound, nothing happens. When I go into the control panel and double click on the “sound” icon, it shows my speakers. And when click on my sound device or speakers, and hit test, the message I get it "failed to play test tone".
Now for some background.
1. I had a different soundcard that was doing the same thing, but I thought maybe it just "went bad", so I bought a new one. I’ve installed it with no problem.
2. Yes, all the drivers are up to date. I've run Windows update numerous times and I've double checked the driver version against the one on the manufactures website - they are the same. Everything is up to date.
3. The device manager can see my speakers/sound card and it says its working.
4. I started out on another forum "Media foundation development - Re:Vista/No Sound/Failed to play test tone" and read the whole thread, did everything it told me to, and I even e-mail Microsoft to get a hotfix. I installed the hotfix, to no avail. Nothing has changed, my sound still does not work.
5. The posters/answers at the above thread said they weren't really audio experts and were directing everyone to this thread.

Failed to play (stream ID: 1).
Hi all, I'm trying to simply stream audio from a FCS using
akamai, I can give you the stream if necessary, but for now I'd
prefer to keep it private. I can connect
(NetConnection.Connect.Success), but the net stream then fails.
// CODE
nc = new NetConnection();
nc.onStatus = function(oInfo:Object):Void {
trace("> nc status > " + oInfo.code);
trace("The connection code is: " + oInfo.code);
nc.connect("rtmp-stream-here");
ns = new NetStream(nc);
ns.onStatus = function(oInfo:Object):Void {
trace("> ns status > " + oInfo.code);
trace(">> " + oInfo.description);
ns.setBufferTime(1)
ns.play("test");
// OUTPUT
> nc status > NetConnection.Connect.Success
The connection code is: NetConnection.Connect.Success
> ns status > NetStream.Failed
>> Failed to play (stream ID: 1).
Does anyone know why I'm getting the: Failed to Play (Stream:
1).Hi John,
Form the description of your issue (and from a short investigation) I can deduce that your assets do not have synchronized keyframes. Please try to re-encode them and force a fixed keyframe interval.
Since the switch can be done on keyframe only, and if you do not have a keyframe in the second stream at that position, the playback will stop with an error.

I'm trying to import a cd to my mac air from my pc. downloadedAbout the Migration and DVD/CD Sharing Update. The mac recognized the pc and the cd , but fails to play or import it. i get the message the cd could not be found. Suggestions?
You can't share/play a music CD using Remote Disk. It's a limitation that Apple built in.
"MacBook Air and Mac mini do not support playing DVD movies or audio CD media with Remote Disc."
Remote Disk is limited to data transfers.
You will have to use the MBA external superdrive, or another compatible external DVD device hooked directly to the Macbook Air.
Otherwise, you will need to rip the CD's contents using your PC and transfer the music as data files.
Maybe you are looking for
