No sound

onejun

Hi,

I built my first Magic mirror and added the Alexa voice service. However, there was no sound coming out from the 3.5mm jack when the voice service is responding. After trying multiple methods taken from youtube videos and community posts to address the issue, it seems like I made things worse. Now, I do not get sound at all when watching YouTube videos on the browser. In addition, there is also no sound from the hdmi output and bluetooth speaker. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

@onejun I do not know for sure

do

aplay -l  ( for list )

to see the output devices

do you have a file named

~/.asoundrc

Thank you for your response. I do not see
~/ .asoundrc on that listing.

I ran some sound tests found on the web and after running command:

./hello_audio.bin

there was sound coming from the speaker, but there is still no sound from youtube videos.

@onejun is there a browser config for sound?

I did get sound after running sound test command
Hello_audio. However, I am still unable to get audio from youtube and Alexa voice.

you can auto generate your .asoundrc config

try this:

in the rpi desktop:
-> right click to the icon volume -> select your prefered output device
-> ajust the level of this output

-> and you can do the same scheme for the input device
-> when all is done reboot you RPI

Thank you for the response. Unfortunately, I am still not getting any sound from the sample Alexa app and Youtube.
