No sound output VLC-TELNET after update 2023.6.0

BebeMischa · June 8, 2023, 7:29pm

So after yesterdays update VLC-TELNET addon does not breathe anymore.

After almost three years flawless service, we have no more TTS announcements.

The addons says this:

There are some errors…

The VLC media player looks, like there is nothing wrong, says it is playing a file, but no sound is coming out of the speakers.

After that attempt (only one), addon logs says this many times:

[00007f3483f96d50] vlcpulse audio output error: stream connection failure: No such entity
[00007f3483f96d50] main audio output error: module not functional

Supervisor 2023.06.1
Frontend-versie: 20230607.0 - latest

Debian 11 fully up to date

Does anyone have an idea?

About one month ago my speakers does not work anymore. So I ordered new ones. Th…e new one also does not work. They were both active speakers on the output jack of the Home Assistant Yellow. I am on home assistant OS 10.2 In the official VLC addon log when I try to play it get this error message: ``` vlcpulse audio output error: stream connection failure: No such entity main audio output error: module not functional main decoder error: failed to create audio output ``` I did a full backup and reset everything then I started again with the backup. On first start it works after a reboot it stopped working. Also tried a USB soundcard which also appear on the drop-down menu in VLC, but when I select it also got the same error. So I do not think that is a hardware fault.

HA OS upgrade broke the VLC add-on's ability to send audio to Home Assistant Blue's audio out jack

add-on: vlc

### Describe the issue you are experiencing Prior to the upgrade, I used the VL…C add-on to play media out of the Home Assistant Blue's audio jack. I also used the vlc_telnet integration to play media out of the Home Assistant Blue's audio jack from automations. This worked 100% of the time until the OS 10.0 upgrade. Now, the VLC sidebar shows the plugin playing local files just as it did before but no audio is actually generated from the hardware output device. ### What type of installation are you running? Home Assistant OS ### Which operating system are you running on? Home Assistant Operating System ### Which add-on are you reporting an issue with? VLC ### What is the version of the add-on? 0.1.3 ### Steps to reproduce the issue 1. Install VLC add-on and Telnet_VLC (core-vlc) integration 2. Connect audio output of Home Assistant Blue to known working speaker equipment 3. Play a media file to media_player.vlc_telnet 4. Listen and you will hear no audio on the output from Hoem Assistant Blue's hardware audio jack ### System Health information ## System Information version | core-2023.4.5 -- | -- installation_type | Home Assistant OS dev | false hassio | true docker | true user | root virtualenv | false python_version | 3.10.10 os_name | Linux os_version | 6.1.24 arch | aarch64 timezone | America/Los_Angeles config_dir | /config <details><summary>Home Assistant Community Store</summary> GitHub API | ok -- | -- GitHub Content | ok GitHub Web | ok GitHub API Calls Remaining | 5000 Installed Version | 1.32.1 Stage | running Available Repositories | 1278 Downloaded Repositories | 5 </details> <details><summary>Home Assistant Cloud</summary> logged_in | true -- | -- subscription_expiration | September 11, 2023 at 17:00 relayer_connected | true relayer_region | us-east-1 remote_enabled | true remote_connected | true alexa_enabled | true google_enabled | false remote_server | us-east-1-9.ui.nabu.casa can_reach_cert_server | ok can_reach_cloud_auth | ok can_reach_cloud | ok </details> <details><summary>Home Assistant Supervisor</summary> host_os | Home Assistant OS 10.0 -- | -- update_channel | stable supervisor_version | supervisor-2023.04.0 agent_version | 1.5.1 docker_version | 23.0.3 disk_total | 113.9 GB disk_used | 10.8 GB healthy | true supported | true board | odroid-n2 supervisor_api | ok version_api | ok installed_addons | File editor (5.5.0), Samba share (10.0.0), VLC (0.1.3), chrony (2.5.0), Z-Wave JS (0.1.77), Terminal & SSH (9.6.1), Signal Messenger (0.66.0) </details> <details><summary>Dashboards</summary> dashboards | 3 -- | -- resources | 0 views | 2 mode | storage </details> <details><summary>Recorder</summary> oldest_recorder_run | April 10, 2023 at 00:12 -- | -- current_recorder_run | April 19, 2023 at 01:19 estimated_db_size | 169.52 MiB database_engine | sqlite database_version | 3.38.5 </details> ### Anything in the Supervisor logs that might be useful for us? ```txt Logger: homeassistant.components.vlc_telnet Source: components/vlc_telnet/media_player.py:60 Integration: VLC media player via Telnet (documentation, issues) First occurred: 01:24:50 (1 occurrences) Last logged: 01:24:50 Command error: Parameter volume not in range(0, 500) ``` ### Anything in the add-on logs that might be useful for us? _No response_ ### Additional information _No response_

So I’m not the only one…

ihsancelebi · June 9, 2023, 11:48am

i have this problem too. I tried both the usb sound card and the output on the pi, there is no sound. It happened after I upgraded to 2023.06.

BebeMischa · June 9, 2023, 3:25pm

Well, no reactions from the dev’s, they are busy with command_line and bluetooth troubles. We have to wait…

jrm523 · June 10, 2023, 2:36am

This is truly unfortunate. I just moved houses and built up a new HA instance with the intention of using this feature. Hopefully they recognize this is an issue. I completely understand bugs occur.

ihsancelebi · June 10, 2023, 2:27pm

I have created an alarm system using vlc and tts, but now the audio part is not working. I have to change the audio part of the alarm system. I guess it’s not very reliable for the alarm system.

thanasiskalos · June 10, 2023, 5:37pm

Hello

Same error also after upgrade to HA supervisor 2023.6.0. It was working for 2 years and now we have nor TTS nor radio.
I have opened the VLC report : main decoder error: failed to create audio output · Issue #4355 · home-assistant/supervisor · GitHub as bug and wait.

Regards

ktownsend-personal · June 11, 2023, 9:55pm

I’m having same problem with MPD trying to play audio on my Home Assistant host. I suspect same root problem, based on the timing of the failure being the same version release.

BebeMischa · June 13, 2023, 12:06pm

Looks like the previously mentioned bug with sound output is found and solved, we hope on a quick release now…

It probably uses python 12 and is incompatible with that /\ /\ …
