Mpg123 not working

rogerfernandezg · 12-17-2012, 02:55 PM

Hi, I just installed Mpg123-1.14.4 in my LFS 7.2.

I run the command:

mpg123 Gerudo Valley.mp3

The output was:

High Performance MPEG 1.0/2.0/2.5 Audio Player for Layers 1, 2 and 3
version 1.14.4; written and copyright by Michael Hipp and others
free software (LGPL/GPL) without any warranty but with best wishes

Playing MPEG stream 1 of 1: Gerudo Valley.mp3 ...

MPEG 1.0 layer III, VBR, 44100 Hz joint-stereo
Title: Gerudo Valley Artist: Koji Kondo
Comment: PCCG-00475
Album: The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time Original Sound Track
Year: 1998 Genre: Game

There's no output sound. After that I booted into Ubuntu and chrooted to LFS 7.2, I run the same comands and it worked.

There's any package to output sound in LFS that I'm missing?

Thanks in advance.

Hi

Have you tried running it as root from lfs

And is the user a member of the audio group

Dont know if this helps

Yep! I'm currently running as root and I've configured correctly the group file adding the proper privileges.

I tried to troubleshoot that with aplay tool, alsamixer and sound-test, no one worked. I think I'm lacking some drivers to detect my soundcard because in alsamixer I only have:

0 Dummy
1 VirMIDI
2 pcsp
3 HDA Intel PCH

Just works the card0, others ones display errors.

I also recompiled the kernel and added some features to menuconfig, none worked.

Please help.

I am having the same problem. LFS 7.2, mpg123 works in chroot but not independently. The kernel is configured with my laptop Intel HD audio drivers. Have you found a solution?

Have you tried initing alsa? I had to do this:

Code:

alsactl init
alsactl store

as root before I had sound ( but I do use the proprietary nvidia driver )

Actually, I had only installed alsa-lib prior to mpg123. I noticed that alsa-lib did NOT put any default *.conf files anywhere so I:

Code:

cat > /etc/skel/.asoundrc <<"EOF"
# Begin .asoundrc
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 0
}

ctl.!default {
type hw           
card 0
}
# end
EOF

cp /etc/skel/.asoundrc /root/

Which may not have necessary. Then I continued on to build alsa-plugins & alsa-utils according to LFS 7.2 instructions and mpg123 just started working. Now I have sound on my LFS machine, its on to X11 ...
