Event sounds are not played

[rossi]

Event sounds are not played (Startup / Beep) when the respective event occurs. For both events the original BeOS .wav files are used.

Within the sound preference panel the sounds test ok, playback is fine, no distortion or similar.

This happens on hrev28861, but actually it has never worked for me.

I've also never been able to play event sounds.

Dam I really felt I made a ticket for this, seems I only made a comment in hrev2980.

This looks like it lacks implementation. Sounds prefs app just plays it thru BFileGameSound, it also doesn't have a way to add new events (should it? Don't remember anymore).

If the beeping is done from here: ​http://haiku.it.su.se:8180/source/xref/src/build/libbe/support/Beep.cpp Those needs implementing.

For me it is different. using Auvia 8235 the Startup sound never plays. It does not play when I press "Restart Media Services" from the Media Preferences app. The beep sound works as expected though.

I copied the BeOS wave files to: /boot/beos/etc/sounds/

I made a UserBootsctipt:

#!/bin/sh /boot/beos/bin/sleep 7 /boot/beos/bin/playfile /boot/beos/etc/sounds/BeStartup.wav &

to play the startup sound. It seems the media server attempts to play the sound before the hardware is ready.

from the system log:

KERN: osscore: Output timed out on audio engine 0/'VIA VT8235' (count=0) KERN: bfs: GetTree:1241: Invalid Argument KERN: Last message repeated 2 times. KERN: osscore: Output timed out on audio engine 0/'VIA VT8235' (count=0) KERN: bfs: GetTree:1241: Invalid Argument KERN: Last message repeated 2 times.

Actually the beep is now fine, just the startup sound is missing. Dunno if the ticket needs to stay open, but since its not about missing event triggers, from my POV it could be closed.
