[Freeswitch-users] mod_portaudio cannot find input or output device

[Mitch Capper]

The first problem may be the default config you are using is going to
cause the console to load with a lot of errors that may just add
confusion.  Portaudio streams are enabled but not documented by
default and are throwing atleast some of those errors (and for most
are not needed).   Try a much simple PA config like:
                <configuration name="portaudio.conf"
description="Soundcard Endpoint">
                  <settings>
                    <param name="ring-file"
value="tone_stream://%(2000,4000,440.0,480.0);loops=20"/>
                    <param name="ring-interval" value="5"/>
                    <param name="hold-file" value="$${hold_music}"/>
                    <param name="dialplan" value="XML"/>
                    <param name="sample-rate" value="24000"/>
                    <param name="codec-ms" value="20"/>
                  </settings>
                </configuration>

Then see if you can get portaudio loading, however I believe the
inability to find any audio devices is kicking the error out.  You
would want to try running aplay -l from a command line to make sure
some audio devices are listed.  In addition try running freeswitch as
root without the -u flag and ensure that its not a permissions
problem.
