TL;DR: I am actually very close to going clinically insane, can’t get TTS to play on audiojack on my raspberry pi, even after a fresh install on new SD.
I had this issue for a while and couldn’t fix it, so I:
• I bought a brand new SD card
• Installed hassbian img (everything working fine, no errors)
• Installed vlc with sudo apt-get install vlc
• Added this to my configuration.yaml:
media_player:
- platform: vlc
name: s_1
arguments: ‘–alsa-audio-device=hw:1,0’
• set audiojack as default source in raspi-config
• added homeassistant to audiogroup with
sudo usermod -a -G audio homeassistant
• Rebooted
• Stil no bloody sound
The best part: when I playback a test file through the console with vlc whatever.mp3, it works just fine!
here’s my log:
