Audio Alert
|
I'm trying to get an alert when I receive an incoming message. I have
installed the YAAC Sounds plugin. When I go to the Sounds tab to configure, I set the Event Type= Message To, Action=Play Sound, Parameter= (Filter set to WAVE) I choose the folder containing my sounds, but no files show for selection. I've tried extensions of both .WAV and .WAVE. What do I need to do to get the files to show? -- 73, Michael WA7SKG "Any day you do not learn one new thing is a wasted day." |

That's where I wasn't paying attention. Should have thought of that. The

files I was testing with all had .WAV. Changed them to .wav and they all showed up and allowed selection. On the config page, it says "Use this sound card:" with about 8 options on the pulldown. I have tried every one of them and still can't get anything to play on an incoming message. Michael WA7SKG Andrew P. wrote on 2/23/24 12:39 PM: Have you tried using ".wav"? The code in the plugin checks for lowercase file types. Also, which audio file type do you have selected in the file chooser dialog? If, for example, it was set to look for .aiff files, you would never see a .wav file because they would be filtered out. |

Rats. I've been fooling with this for 2 weeks (first messages sent 2/7).

At least (so far) it may not be something I was doing wrong. As I have my home APRS up 24/7 on its own screen, I don't always see when a message comes in. I recently had a couple fellows tell me they were testing their APRS and sent me messages, but by the time I saw them, they had already shut down and did not get my replies. That's why I'm looking for the audio alert to let me know at the time of arrival of a message.

Stand by for a new build with a fix. |
