Sound with Minim no longer works

in Core Library Questions • 7 months ago

Hi,
when I try to play sound with minim from an example file PlayAFile.pde in Processing 2.08b I get this error

libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to open swrast (search paths /usr/lib32/dri:/usr/lib/dri)

I'm using ubuntu 12.04 x64. Unfortunately the forum won't let me include the log file (mentioned abobe) inline and nor is there an add attachments button?

I don't recall having a problem with sound in the past, so I'm not sure what's changed. I've also tried various different formats MP3 , WAV and different sample rates 128kbps, 192kbps Constant and 44,1kHz, 48kHz for wav. no luck :(

For what it is worth, I ran the same sketch with 2.0b8 (32-bit), on Windows 7, and it ran OK, with just the "error" (warning, really) about ID3 tag.

The error about sound format is strange, since the sound is shipped with Processing.

The SIGSEGV error happens in libX, which is probably a graphics library, so unrelated to Minim. The example uses P3D (unnecessarily, apparently), so it might be (also?) a graphics problem.

I don't know what is the libEGL.

Hi PhiLho,

thanks for the reply.

libEGL on Ubuntu is related to OpenGL ES so as you noted this is another issue related to graphics. The strange thing is that I recall running this file several times in previous versions of Processing and other Ubuntu versions but not having this issue. Basically when running the sketch audio is inaudible (probably does not play at all) however the spectral analyzer does render based on the audio levels.

anyway thanks for the input, it is most sincerely appreciated.

if i find a solution i'll repost here.

Download the Oracle official jdk and replace the processing java directory with it this will fix the sound problem. But If you export your application as a linux app then to make it work you will have to install the official Oracle jdk and jre to your system.

You could do something like this:
1) download the files

2) In the same directory where the files are execute this commands
export JDKfile="jdk-7u15-linux-i586.tar.gz"
export JREfile="jre-7u15-linux-i586.tar.gz"
export JDK="jdk1.7.0_15"
export JRE="jre1.7.0_15"
export INSTDIR="/usr/lib/jvm"

sudo tar -xvzf $JDKfile -C $INSTDIR
sudo tar -xvzf $JREfile -C $INSTDIR

# Updating
sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/java" "java" "$INSTDIR/$JRE/bin/java" 1
sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/javac" "javac" "$INSTDIR/$JDK/bin/javac" 1
sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/javaws" "javaws" "$INSTDIR/$JRE/bin/javaws" 1
sudo update-alternatives --set java $INSTDIR/$JRE/bin/java
sudo update-alternatives --set javac $INSTDIR/$JDK/bin/javac
sudo update-alternatives --set javaws $INSTDIR/$JRE/bin/javaws

Hi aparis3,
thanks for the response and you read my mind as updating Java was what I was just about to do :)
Also thanks for the setup instructions!
Your suggestion worked like a charm, as the audio is back. But for some reason I'm still getting those graphics related error messages (well actually some new ones).

I suppose that's a topic for another thread, anyways they don't seem to be causing any serious problems as the file plays as expected and renders the waveform correctly.
Thanks again your help is very much appreciated.

Something easier:

download the last and official version of oracle java: jdk-7u21-linux-i586.tar.gz (in my case it's for Linux Mint 14 Nadia 32 bit)

Uncompress the file, copy into the processing 2.08b folder and change it for the default "java" folder:
I renamed the java original folder as "(java)" and the new "jdk 1.7.0_21" as "java".

Now Minim works!!!

bye!

I didn't know you could throw in the complete java folder. Is it fully compatible? No side effects? I thought Processing was using Java 6 by default...

My approach is to copy just the three required files. I made a script for that:
