Sound Plugin Stopping


 

After applying the latest update, I am now getting an alert as expected
with an incoming message, however, it is not lasting. I participate in
the APRS Thursday thing and when I send my report, I get several
messages and the alert sounds. The following week, no sounds. I have to
restart YAAC to get the sounds to come again with incoming messages.
Sometime during the week, they stop working and by the next Thursday I
have to restart YAAC to get them back.

My APRS runs 24/7 here in the shack. I'm not seeing any other issues and
no indication when the sound feature stops working, until I look at the
message list and see a message came in and I got no alert.

Ideas?

I can't be certain, but I am guessing you are exceeding your open file quota by re-opening the same .wav file without ever closing it. As such, eventually YAAC would no longer be open the file. This would also interfere in YAAC logging, as it doesn't keep the log files open constantly, but only opens them for burst writes of the last few minutes backlog.

Alas, I didn't run YAAC for days after implementing the fix, so I didn't notice any quota leak.

I will look into it the next time I can work on YAAC.

It doesn't seem to matter the number of messages. I sent a bunch of test
messages and so far it is still working. I restarted last Thursday.
We'll see what happens this Thursday. It's only been a couple weeks, so
maybe it was just some glitch and no longer happening.

Restarted YAAC last week to restore sound alerts. Been receiving
messages almost daily and APRSThursday messages today, all with sound
alert. So far so good. I'm hoping it was just a transient glitch.

Me too. I've been running the Sounds plugin with extra debugging turned on for 3 straight days, and it's still playing the .wav file for me.

I've had running for 10 straight days now and it's still playing the .wav file successfully. I don't think I can replicate the problem.?

Per chance, is your plugin-selected sound card on USB, and did it get unplugged at any point? I don't think YAAC would deal well with a disappearing sound card.

Also, how many different sound files were you using, and did you change any of them during the run?

Apparently it was a transient glitch. I ran for a week receiving 4+
messages every day, no problems, followed by a week with no messages
received, then checked into APRS Thursday and it sounded for every
message. I guess it is okay now.

The soundcard is on the motherboard, not removable. I've only got a
couple alerts set up, primarily incoming messages.

Close it out as a non-issue.

Thanks,
Michael WA7SKG
