Checking by playing a WAV file
Play WAV file with pjsua
An easy way to check if speaker is functioning properly is by using pjsua to play a WAV file to the speaker, with these easy steps:
Find any WAV file with the following specification:
any clock rate
mono (not stereo)
16bit, PCM sample
Run pjsua with the file:
$ ./pjsua --play-file THEFILE.WAV
Check that the file is registered to the bridge:
>>> cl Conference ports: Port #00[16KHz/10ms] Primary Sound Capture Driver transmitting to: Port #01[16KHz/10ms] THEFILE.WAV transmitting to:
Play the file to the speaker:
>>> cc 1 0 Success
Done. You should hear the file played to the speaker.
If you couldn’t hear the file played properly to the speaker, then follow the next step.
If first check fails, try playing the WAV file with playfile sample
If the file is not playing properly with pjsua, then try playing the
file with pjsip-apps/src/samples/playfile.c sample. The playfile sample binary should
be put in pjsip-apps/bin/samples
directory after the samples project
is successfully built.
To play a WAV file with playfile sample:
$ ./playfile THEFILE.WAV
The difference between pjsua and playfile program is the lack of conference bridge in playfile.
If no audio is heard with both pjsua and playfile
Chances are other apps are unable to play to that sound device either. Please follow general sound device troubleshooting for your operating system. Some of the problems may include:
the speaker is not working properly
the level is set too low
the WAV file contains blank recording
