Audio Control Panel

Tasso Karkanis — Thu, 30 Nov 2000 15:59:20 GMT

Hi,

I have a J5600 workstation, and I'm trying to play MP3's on it with a decent interface.

I would have a complete solution (involving XMMS running on a remote machine) if only I could configure the local audio server to play to the "line out" by default rather than to the internal speaker.

In "man 5 audio", it talks about something called the "Audio Control Panel", which should allow me to do this, but which is missing from my system. Does anyone know where to get this component (/opt/audio/bin/AudioCP) from?

Thanks in advance,

Tasso

Hey,

I don't know if this will help you or not, but my AudioCP executable is under /opt/wt/bin/AudioCP.

I don't have AudioCP under /opt/bin/audio, and I do have the icon on my desktop.

I'm running a C200 workstation though.

I'm pretty certain HP's Mpowerweb product contains this : do a search on either "audio" or "mpower" on this forum : loads of info and also docs on how to troubleshoot associated audio problems see the search link top left under the HP invent Logo :

fyi :

Audio Control Panel is no longer part of HP-UX CORE, it is part of
MPower//Web Product. Please refer to /usr/share/doc/11.00RelNotes
for more information.

Alex is correct. The AudioCP executable is a part of the MPower//Web package, which is available on the HP-UX Application CD's (non-codeword protected).

When dealing with HP-UX 11.0, you should install the bundle B5357AAA HP MPower//Web from the applications release CDROM. That will put a speaker icon in the front panel to start the audio control panel.

You may also affect the output of programs by setting-
export SPEAKER=external
See http://devresource.hp.com/STK/man/11.00/audio_5.html for more information about SPEAKER.
