No sound in the speakers with avidemux_2.8.1_legacy.appImage

[grandtoubab]

Hello
avidemux_2.8.1_legacy.appImage running on Debian 12 Bookworm aka testing

I cant hear the sound in the speakers with Avidemux
I see the audio vumeters moving in Avidemux

It seems related to pulseaudio plugin:

[eumagga0x2a]

It looks like libsndfile1 needs libmp3lame0 which is missing. Looks like a dependency problem in the distribution.

By the way, the legacy AppImage is meant to be used on really old distributions like Debian Stretch or such. Please use the normal one with anything from Buster on.

Hello
I give a try to compil avidemux on my installation, adapting the how-to because the name of some packages

sudo apt-get install gcc g++ make cmake pkg-config  fakeroot yasm libsqlite3-dev  build-essential libpng-dev

sudo apt-get install  libmp3lame-dev libx264-dev  libfaad-dev libfaac-dev

And then to compil I have to change TMPDIR becuse my installation is done with tmp in tmpfs in memory.

guy@debian:~/Avidemux/avidemux_2.8.1$ TMPDIR=/var/tmp
guy@debian:~/Avidemux/avidemux_2.8.1$ bash bootStrap.bash --deb –with-qt

It was ok and I install all the deb packages
guy@debian:~/Avidemux/avidemux_2.8.1/debs$ ls

guy@debian:~/Avidemux/avidemux_2.8.1/debs$


Launching /usr/bin/avidemux3_qt5 is ok but still no sound with the "dummy' audio devices

In Debian it exist a package to wrap sound to pulseaudio from application using oss

 sudo apt  install osspd

I change the audio preferences to oss and it is working I have sound in the speakers and the audio cursor in avidemus is now blue and usable when it was grayed before
Here are the messages

I admit it is kind of mess but it works

[eumagga0x2a]

sudo apt-get install gcc g++ make cmake pkg-config  fakeroot yasm libsqlite3-dev  build-essential libpng-dev

AFAIK, Debian has moved to using the apt command as interactive frontend for package management instead of apt-get quite a long time ago.

gcc and gcc++ are dependencies of build-essential, no need to install them explicitly.

Is fakeroot needed for packaging as debs? It is not needed for a normal build.

And then to compil I have to change TMPDIR becuse my installation is done with tmp in tmpfs in memory.

This might be necessary only if you have less than 4 GiB available for tmpfs. I build Avidemux with /tmp on a tmpfs limited to 4 GiB without issues.

guy@debian:~/Avidemux/avidemux_2.8.1$ bash bootStrap.bash --deb –with-qt

For sure not verbatim ("–" is invalid for an option) and in intention redundant as "--with-qt" is default. While packaging as debs should work, the only purpose is to facilitate uninstall if Avidemux needs to be installed system-wide, the packages themselves do not include any dependency info.

I recommend running Avidemux via the supplied wrapper script template from the build directory without installation.

Launching /usr/bin/avidemux3_qt5 is ok but still no sound with the "dummy' audio devices

The dummy audio device doesn't output anything by definition. Does loading of libADM_av_pulseAudio.so still fail so that you cannot choose it from the list of audio devices?

[eumagga0x2a]

FYI: https://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-dist@lists.debian.org/msg1868860.html

= not our bug.

[grandtoubab]

I have no sound problem on my installation and pulseaudio is working well.

I try a new compilation, here is the avidemux problem
- Checking for OSS
-- ****************

libpulse exists on my installation

 apt list --installed | grep libpulse

libpulsedsp/testing,unstable,now 16.1+dfsg1-2 amd64  [installé]


so what?

[eumagga0x2a]

libpulse-dev is probably missing.

You will need to rebuild Avidemux to pick up PulseAudio.

The Debian bug report states that manual reinstall of Lame libs fixed PulseAudio (and you just did the same). This doesn't mean that dependency problem in Debian itself was fixed.

[grandtoubab]

Exactly and it brings a lot of others

And that is perfect

[eumagga0x2a]

You should ensure that more than the unaccelerated "Qt" (indicated as "RGB") video renderer is available and used. Please have a look at the convenience script to build Avidemux on Ubuntu for the list of developer packages.

The warning about Aften missing is expected and the fact that it is missing doesn't matter, the AC3 encoder in libavcodec is good enough if you need to encode to AC3 at all.
