[SOLVED] Issue with TPlaySound on a Raspberry pi

[Barry55]

I am trying to use TPlaysound on a Raspberry pi using Lazarus and Free pascal. Its installed fine but when I try and play a mp3 or wav file I just get a crazy loud hissing sound from the the speakers. I tried the demo app with the installation and its the same, so I don;t think its my code perhaps something environmental. both of the files I have play fine using the VCL player I have installed on the raspberry pi.

Does anyone have any suggestions ?

Many thanks

Having read this thread it seems to be mostly about Windows, I am using a Raspberry Pi or using Bass. Before I switch to something else I wondered if anyone knew the answer on Tplaysound

Thanks

Tplaysound takes a different approach to playing sound cross-platform: for Linux it searches the system for programs which will play sound and chooses the first it comes across. You could try changing the order in which it searches to use a different program.

Thanks for the info, how would I do that ?

Thank you, having read the post and tested that aplay (which was selected by the control) didn't work from a terminal window, I then manually changed the play command in the properties of Playsound1 to

PlayCommand set as  cvlc -q --play-and-exit

This way if I ever download a new version of TPlaysound I won't have to edit it again

Many thanks for your help
