How to play audio wav file and output through USB with headset?

[Ethan58]

Hi,

I am a new starter using STM32MPU257F. 

I plug a headset into a USB port and use the below command to play an audio-only wav file.

gst-play-1.0 audiofile.wav

the output log as below

=======================

=======================

but I cannot hear any sound from the headset.

Is it possible to play audio through USB headset microphone?

Are there any settings or configurations required?

I also use the below command:

root@stm32mp2:~# aplay -l
aplay: device_list:274: no soundcards found...

Is it normal "no soundcards found..."?

root@stm32mp2:~# gst-play-1.0 --version
gst-play-1.0 version 1.22.6
GStreamer 1.22.6
Unknown package origin

 

thanks.

Hello @Ethan58 ,

 

Your sound card is not recognized as a snd-usb-audio device,  that's why there is no alsa entry.

First, I would recommand to cross-check that your USB sound card is well supported by the kernel, and if it is the case, you may need to enable something in your kernel configuration.

I would recommand the following wiki article : https://wiki.st.com/stm32mpu/wiki/How_to_customize_the_Linux_kernel

 

I tried with my Jabra headset which is well recognized by default:

Hi @Christophe Guibout

Thank you very much for your advice.

I will check my kernel configuration.
