Edit : Audio not working

mandel_brott · 2020-12-21 20:10:51 UTC

Hello,

My axoloti's audio input suddenly crashed for no reason, I was running the looper6 patch in the demos.
No sound comes in anymore and there is a continuous high-pitched noise. I'm bummed.
I tried running several other "audio in" patches in the factory presets but no sound seems to come in anymore (tried audio/inconfig, nothing in the vu meters whatever I modify).
It just seems like it died all of a sudden, and I don't know what to do about it.
It is only the second day I'm using the axoloti... It seems like a hardware issue.
I haven't touched the axoloti when it was running unless to plug/unplug jacks...

Edit : the whole "audio" part actually stopped working ; I tried with synth patches, the main out stopped working and the headphones output only work when the minijack is halfway in - the sound just stops when it's completely plugged.
Audio in and out stopped working altogether. Is there any way to do hardware diagnosis from the patcher and send it here to check what could be wrong ?

Edit 2 : it seems i've entered a multi-layered axoloti nightmare, now it automatically disconnects the device whenever I try to go live with a new patch in it.
I really don't understand what is happening, first the audio, now the whole thing itself...

We can try tagging @johannes, who is the developer......

Hi @mandel_brott,

With regards to Edit 2, are you using a controller object in your preferences menu? If you haven't deliberately gone in and set this up, then the answer is probably no.

I ask because I got the error "java.lang.Exception: cpuserial has wrong length" when I changed the code of the midi controller I had attached to the UART pins in the back. Erasing all of the contents of my SD card (after backing it up on my computer of course ) fixed this issue. So perhaps even if you don't have a controller object set up, maybe try erasing your SD card and see if that works.

Unfortunately I don't have any advice for the audio specific issue, but I hope you can get it resolved.

Hello, I'm not using a controller object...
I think it must've been caused by some weird electric tension on my desk. I've only unplugged a nearby jack from a pedal and a noise bursted out of the speakers (the pedals were muted then). Then it just stopped working.
Obviously something which has to do with hardware issues rather than dev... I've sent a message to @johannes about it, I figured out I'd rather do this directly later on.
It's probably not necessary to keep this thread since nothing can be solved with a fried unit /-:
