Audax 0.1.4 delayed to 17th of February

The next version of Audax will be released (if all goes well) on the 17th of February. The reason for postponing the release is the case that I want to substantially improve my current designs. By taking a bit more time to tweak things the next version of Audax will be more robust than ever.  I am also taking a seven day hiatus from techtimejourney so that I can focus on delivering as high quality release as I can.

Take care and see you on the 17th of February.

Audax sound selector updated to revision B and Wlansetup updated to a version 0.3.1-Audax

Recently, I made some much needed updates to two programs, which will also be present in the upcoming Audax 0.1.4.

Wlansetup updated to a version 0.3.1-Audax:

The update fixes a typo, which caused misbehavior on /etc/rc.local if there were already some lines present in it. Now Wlansetup adds the autostart line nicely to the end of /etc/rc.local.

*Note. If you get weird errors when using usb wlan sticks try another usb port. I had one usb port, which gave me plenty of errors and refused to start the interface scan of Wlansetup correctly – all other ports worked just fine.

Audax sound selector updated to revision B:

The update adds Alsa HDMI support and a simple cli menu to keep things in order.

*Note if you use Debian  Jessie/Sid your Alsa services might be masked. If this is the case just reboot the computer and your sound settings should load up correctly.

Alsa and HDMI sound via display

It turns out that getting a sound output from a HDMI connected display when using Alsa is actually really simple. Here is the outline of the process.

1. Install alsa-utils (we need a tool called aplay). For example: sudo apt-get install alsa-utils

2. Open a terminal client and type aplay -l to list all your sound devices.

You will get something like this: Continue reading
