How do you enable Splash Screen Audio?

Pristopher

A couple of versions ago, when a video was placed for the splash screen, the audio would play. But now it shows up only muted. Where could I fix this?

Posted somewhere in the forums, is the answer. I remember it coming up a while ago. I believe that it has to do with initializing alsa before omxplayer.

"Posted somewhere in the forums, is the answer" like Yoda you talk :D

In my /etc/init.d/asplashscreen

# -o local for 3.5" headphones sound, -o hdmi sound
audioconffile="/var/lib/alsa/asound.state"
audioout="local"
if [ -f $audioconffile ]
then

#read the configuration
straudio=$(sed -n "/PCM Playback Route/{N; /value ./p}" $audioconffile | grep value)
#printf "straudio" $straudio
audioconf=${straudio: -1}
case "$audioconf" in
0) audioout="hdmi"
;;
1) audioout="local"
;;
2) audioout="hdmi"
;;
*) audioout="hdmi"
;;
esac
else
printf "$audioconffile dos not exists"
fi
omxplayer -b -o $audioout /home/pi/splashvideo.mp4 &

Hope this helps

@ian57 - Thanks!

Pristopher

Thanks! I'll check it out as soon as I clock out. :D

Does this part of the code go before or after the current one?

Pristopher

Ok, got it working! Only modified:

omxplayer -o hdmi -b /home/pi/pimame/PiPLAY.mov &

Yes of course! this code coms from my raspicade distro :) The code allows to get the sound for all cases : jack or hdmi... which is not the case of "-o hdmi" :D

Howdy, Stranger!
