play button plays only few ms and stops

[Konstantin Mikhailov]

I'm on ubuntu 11.10

Just downloaded mixxx 1.9.2

When I press play button the track is played only for few ms, then stops (like being paused).
I was able to figure out, that the time played dependes on latency set in hardware options.
+
I never got to set my Vestax Typhoon with Mixxx 1.9.2 under ubuntu 11.10, when i tried to plug it with 1.8.2 version it crashed in 10 ten minutes and mixxx closed down.

Hi Konstantin,

What Audio API and device are you using? Please check in the Mixxx preferences.

Could you give 1.10.0 beta a shot and let us know if you still have the problem there? You can try it via the beta ppa: ppa:mixxx/mixxxbetas

[Konstantin Mikhailov (lakostochkah)]

Hi RJ!

Thank you for your quick response:)

I made a screenshot of my hardware preferences in mixxx, it's in the
attachment.
I downloaded the 1.10 beta version from repository you gave me, but still
the same problem accures.

Is it because im using ALSA API? If so, would you be so kind giving me an
advice of how can I change it (cause i'm quite new to linux systems)?

Thank you!

Hello again!

Is there any progress with solving my problem? It's been a while since I've replyed.

Anyway, I've read tons of forums, tryed using ALSA, as well as JACK - same problem.

I tryed shuting down networking, rising priority and nice - no result.

So I think, it's not the xruns' problem, that I'm facing.

Please let me know, if there's something I can do, it would be a great holiday gift for me - to ba able to play via MIXXX!

Thanks for attention!

Hi Konstantin,

How are you running Mixxx? Is it from the desktop icon or the terminal?

Could you try opening a terminal and running mixxx like this:

$ pasuspender mixxx

Also, could you try the latest beta release of Mixxx? You can add it via the ppa ppa:mixxx/mixxxbetas

[Konstantin Mikhailov (lakostochkah)]

Hi, RJ!

I already installed the latest version, still the same!

I tryed to run it both from desctop icon and terminal, no progress.

PS Thanks for response:)

Hi Konstantin,

Setting the bug status to "Incomplete" means that we are unable to make progress on the bug due to lack of information from the reporter. As such in the bug tracker bugs marked "Incomplete" are ignored by the development team :) which I don't think is what you want. Leaving it as "New" means that it has been reported but not yet reproduced by a Mixxx developer. Since that is its current status, please leave it as New :).

I'm marking WontFix in 1.9 since we have just end-of-life'd 1.9.x. Since you said it is present in 1.10.0, I'm targeting it for a fix in 1.10.1 if we find one.

As for your updates, I'm afraid I'm stumped. Could you try using OSS or JACK to see if the issue is isolated to ALSA?

Could you please post the output of these commands in the terminal:

1) lsusb
2) lspci
3) aplay -L
4) lsmod
5) dpkg --list | grep portaudio

Thanks,
RJ

Hi, RJ!

Sorry for my incompetence in bug filing, hope it didn't bother much.

I've got some changes, though. Since I've updated and upgraded mixxx on
late December, it started playing.
But the playback is very strange and full of gaps. The play/pause button is
blinking, it seems like it is automatically pressed with a high frequency.
When I start the playback, I'm not able to puase it, whether using the
gnome button, or the "d" hotkey.

I tried using JACK, via QjackCtl - same stuff. When choose OSS, as the
sound API in Mixxx preferences it shows no available sound devices.

Here are the outputs for the commands you asked for:

 1) lsusb

The play-button flickering thing is a good hint!

Could you check that you have no MIDI devices enabled?

Open the preferences and expand the "MIDI Controllers" tree item. If you see ANY MIDI controllers listed (including default devices like "MIDI Through Port") select the device and make sure the 'Enabled' checkbox is unchecked. Additionally, for MIDI Through Port, hit "Clear All" to clear all mapped controls for it.

I get almost identical results to what you are describing when I load the Vestax Typhoon mapping to my MIDI Through Port and enable the device. The play button flickers like crazy and the output is static.

Hi Konstantin,

Have you had the chance to try out my suggestion? I'd love to get to the bottom of this before we release Mixxx 1.11.0.

Thanks,
RJ

[Konstantin Mikhailov (lakostochkah)]

Hey, RJ!

Thanks for your letter. I've bussy working this period, so i never got an
opportunity to give you my feedback.

Well, actually yes, I've tried. And it does work. I mean, when disabling
the midi it does work correct. Maybe some points with latency, but i find
it being a problem of my hardware setup instead.

But now I have another problem - my Vestax Typhoon doesn't work in any way.
Well, that's logical, my midi is off.

Is there any way to fix that?

Best regards, Kostya.

Hi Konstantin,

You should see a couple different devices in the preferences -- one is the
MIDI-through port and the other should be your Vestax Typhoon. I think this
problem was that you had loaded the Typhoon mapping into the
MIDI-through-port device. If you only load the Typhoon mapping into the
Typhoon device and check the 'Enable' checkbox, it should work.

Best regards,
RJ Ryan
