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.
