I am still using chan_console. I compiled 18.18.0 and chan_console is not built. I am using ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS

make menuselect says XXX chan_consoel and it needs “portaudio”

What do I do next ?

Also menuconfig is saying XXX on Also – what alsa library is needed ?

Thanks

  • Oh that is a good one – I thought I did – but apparently not. menuconfig now shows “*”

    So is chan_alsa going away ? What is it being replaced with?

    thank you!

  • hi Doug – so what device do you use? I am getting and error for Console/dsp

    exten => s,1,ChanIsAvail(Console/dsp)
    exten => s,n,GotoIf($[“${AVAILCHAN}” = “”]?smvoice-busy,s,1)
    exten => s,n,Playback(beep)
    exten => s,n,Dial(Console/dsp)
    exten => s,n,Hangup

    I also tried Console/ALSA and both gave errors.

    Thanks

  • Thanks Doug…

    So then for the list – I have chan_console working now…. But I am trying Console/dsp and Console/ALSA and both give an error about not found.

    What have I missed ?
    Thanks

  • In a past work life, I did use console/dsp to connect to a sound card that hooked up to a bogan paging amp. I still have access to the programming and everything I have show as using a lower case c for console

  • This is hte error I get for Console/dsp or console/dsp

    ERROR[230711][C-00000001]: chan_console.c:477 console_request: Console device ‘dsp’ not found

  • I am trying to just play on PulseAudio actually. This used to work – I have just recently updated to 18.18.0, so I’m puzzled.

  • I am trying to get audio to play on Pulse – so just the monitor basically.

    I have tried Console/dsp, Console/dmix, Console/pulse, and a couple others.

    The error is always the same “console_request: Console device ‘dmix’ not found.

    What is the correct “Console/XXXX” to play on pulse for UBuntu 20.04 LTS ?
    I can “aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav” no problem.

    Thoughts?
