No alert sounds in opencpn 5.10 with external wav files - HollyCpn - 2024-08-30
Hi everybody,
In OpenCPN 5.10.0 I am not able to activate external wav sound files. I searched the web and tried everything from 16bit 22050hz to a short filename. The wav files are allready in the sounds folder, but when I choose them in options/interface/sounds testing is not possible and there is only a short strange noise every 30sec. CPA/TCPA Alerts are enabled. The Rasp Pi5 is connected to a touchscreen with speakers. Sound is fine everywhere, but not in opencpn. I also changed the bell after booting the rasp pi to a wav voice soundfile and it also works fine, only external wav alerts in user interface are not working. Please help.

Nobody is able to answer that question? It seems to me like an software bug or some other to easy fix issue? I am getting a little bit frustrated by the time, cause I thougt with Openplotter I can do indivudal settings, but it seems like it is not possible. Why was it working with older versions? With Watchdog (no longer on OpenCPN) there was no problem, but now with the newest Version of OpenCPN I have a lot of issues. Nobody who has any idea how to solve this (and I dont want to switch to older versions on my Rasp Pi5)?

This is an opencpn issue not an openplotter issue. Discussed here: https://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/f134/opencpn-version-5-10-released-288468.html
Try the new version 5.10.2 and report here: https://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/f134/opencpn-version-5-10-2-released-289278.html
