Operating Systems Solaris Solaris 11 no sound despite finding hardware Post 302970583 by Nostradamus1973 on Friday 8th of April 2016 09:53:23 AM

I managed to get SoX up and going, unfortunately once my syntax was correct(I think) there were no errors in the log, in fact, the log had nothing. When I had mis-wrote some code, it returned an error, so, I know it's transcribing info. Although it's quite possible I'm totally missing something.
OR, was the log supposed to return an output of some sort if it's working properly??Smilie

I tried:
Code:
/usr/bin/sox -q -b 8 -r 8000 -v 1 -e unsigned-integer /tmp/noise.raw -d trim 0 00:02 > /tmp/sox.log 2>&1

Which showed my /tmp/sox.log totally barren.

Trying to play an MP3 off my NAS I've realized that I don't have the Fruenhoffer/MP3 codec, I've heard that Fluendo is pretty awesome as well, and supports a plethora of video/audio codecs. Unfortunately I don't have any repositories I can add after doing a cursory search. Any thoughts?

However, I'm under the impression that the simple gnome accessible sound files are playable. Or, do codecs have to be installed before even playing NON-proprietary music files?

That being said, is there a way to add Beta-OSS drivers through a repository? I was reading somewhere that maybe a newer version may have certain "Fixes" to my problemo.

I am totally frustrated and losing sleep over this menagerie. Despite that, I've been totally seduced with the whole Solaris experience, unfortunately one of the basic tenants -- audio is nonexistent.Smilie

Any thoughts?

As always, Thanks for the help.

NAME
SoXI - Sound eXchange Information, display sound file metadata SYNOPSIS
soxi [-V[level]] [-T] [-t|-r|-c|-s|-d|-D|-b|-B|-e|-a] infile1 ... DESCRIPTION
Displays information from the header of a given audio file or files. Supported audio file types are listed and described in soxformat(7). Note however, that soxi is intended for use only with audio files with a self-describing header. By default, as much information as is available is shown. An option may be given to select just a single piece of information (perhaps for use in a script or batch-file). OPTIONS
-V Set verbosity. See sox(1) for details. -T Used with multiple files; changes the behaviour of -s, -d and -D to display the total across all given files. Note that when used with -s with files with different sampling rates, this is of questionable value. -t Show detected file-type. -r Show sample-rate. -c Show number of channels. -s Show number of samples (0 if unavailable). -d Show duration in hours, minutes and seconds (0 if unavailable). Equivalent to number of samples divided by the sample-rate. -D Show duration in seconds (0 if unavailable). -b Show number of bits per sample. -B Show the bitrate averaged over the whole file (0 if unavailable). -e Show the name of the audio encoding. -a Show file comments (annotations) if available. BUGS
Please report any bugs found in this version of SoX to the mailing list (sox-users@lists.sourceforge.net). SEE ALSO
