I had it working at home, but when I installed the switch at the bookstore, there is nothing to be heard on the audio ports. Now I'm trying to debug it remotely, which is difficult because I can't hear the speaker.

The system is an HP ProDesk 400. It has a "Audio-out/Audio-in combo jack" on the front panel. It has an "audio-in" jack, and an "audio-out jack for powered devices" on the back. When it was working at home, I plugged powered speakers into the audio-out jack on the back.

pa devlist shows this:

I have no idea what most of his is, and the HDMI in the list is confusing, because the system has a DisplayPort connector, but no HDMI.

I assume device #0 is the connectors on the back. I also assume that when it bridge to "portaudio/auto_answer" that it will use the only device that is configured with a "o", which is device #0.

One difference between home and the current location is the addition of a 10' audio cable between the computer and the speaker, but I can't see how this would make a difference.

An advanced question is how to use a portaudio microphone. I plugged a microphone into the "audio-in" on the back, but this isn't working either. Is this because that port needs line-level audio? The HP manual says the front audio panel connector can be used for a microphone. Is that portaudio device #1? How to I configure that device for input?

I have never tried any of the linux audio drivers, but I have never heard a good word about any of them. YMMV.

 

In ${conf_dir}/autoload_configs/portaudio.conf.xml I see:

 

  <settings>

    <!-- indev, outdev, ringdev:

   partial case sensitive string match on something in the name

   or the device number prefixed with # eg "#1" (or blank for default) -->

 

    <!-- device to use for input -->

    <param name="indev" value=""/>

    <!-- device to use for output -->

    <param name="outdev" value=""/>

 

The wiki has some good ideas on how to list the available devices from fs_cli in:

https://freeswitch.org/confluence/display/FREESWITCH/mod_portaudio

 

One suggestion to aid you in testing would be to use the “playback” dialplan app to generate test tones with tone_stream or play a .wav file.

Subject: [Freeswitch-users] Configuring mod_portaudio for Debian built-in (JACK?) audio

 

I have an HP Prodesk tower with Debian and FreeSWITCH installed. It has an audio jack that is plugged into a speaker. I configured the system so that the devices in /dev/snd are group "freeswitch". Now I want to transfer a call to the speaker with <action application="bridge" data="portaudio/auto_answer"/>.

 

However, I am getting errors when I load mod_portaudio that look like this:

2021-03-27 21:15:30.747447 [ERR] mod_portaudio.c:1617 Invalid outstream specified for endpoint 'default'

 

It looks like a config file issue, but I have no clue where to start because I couldn't find a good example. Any suggestions?
