7 breaks roaudioresource?

It's certainly not universal. I haven't seen any problems with any of my channels. Maybe it's specific to a certain format?

-JT

But the sound in your other channels still works? Any differences in the sounds, or in the methods they are called?

What are the bitrates and bit-depth of the audio files in question, what model of device, and which channel is affected?

- Joel

Just noticed in rOS7.0.9021 a whole lot of audio debug info is dumped to console when starting my dev:

This in any way related?
Seem someone was chasing a sound issue and left 'on' a dump flag in fw7 (this chatter does not happen in fw6).

ok thanks guys. Was hoping it was a known issue.

channel hasn't been changed but after the 7 update some sounds simply don't play anymore. silence. Not good.


will track it down and get a test case as soon as I get a couple other things out the door and have some free time to research whats going on.

I am sure we'll hear more on this. Maybe they changed the version of the audio library used (ALSA?) and changes trickled down to us.
There is some place where the Co. makes available copies of the open source software used inside, right? It might be current...

so I noticed the sound in one of my channels stopped working today, I checked and sure enough the player had just gotten updated to 7.

I didn't see anything here on the forum, is this a known issue with the update to 7?

Are you still seeing an issue?

If so, can you let us know which channel and on which Roku model(s) that you saw the issue, if it is straightforward to reproduce?

I can't reproduce this. It may be fixed, or perhaps it was an issue with my player needing to be rebooted after the update. I'm not sure, but things seem to be working now. I'll update if anything comes up.
