sounddevice errors ALSA audio - marcomac01 - Dec-08-2023
Hello guys, i'm super new to this forum. My intention was to make use of PyMumble to make a client to make voice calls via Mumble.
I managed to listen the room, but i ran into issues. When i run the code on mac os it works fine, but when i run it on my Raspberry pi 3B i got these errors during the reception of sounds:
alsa lib pcm.c XXXX (snd_pcm_recover) underrun occurred
alsa lib pcm.c XXXX (snd_pcm_recover) underrun occurred
alsa lib pcm.c XXXX (snd_pcm_recover) underrun occurred
alsa lib pcm.c XXXX (snd_pcm_recover) underrun occurred
alsa lib pcm.c XXXX (snd_pcm_recover) underrun occurred
XXXX is a number. most people got this error online with different numbers. none of teir solutions worked for me.
i can hear everything but it skips frames it seems. not a good qality overall
i tried using pyaudio, but the quality was way much worse. plus i had to encapsulate the sream reading with try except, or the program would crash.
Thanks in advice for your help
