Re: Sound Plugin Stopping


 

Restarted YAAC last week to restore sound alerts. Been receiving
messages almost daily and APRSThursday messages today, all with sound
alert. So far so good. I'm hoping it was just a transient glitch.

It doesn't seem to matter the number of messages. I sent a bunch of test
messages and so far it is still working. I restarted last Thursday.
We'll see what happens this Thursday. It's only been a couple weeks, so
maybe it was just some glitch and no longer happening.

I can't be certain, but I am guessing you are exceeding your open file
quota by re-opening the same .wav file without ever closing it. As
such, eventually YAAC would no longer be open the file. This would
also interfere in YAAC logging, as it doesn't keep the log files open
constantly, but only opens them for burst writes of the last few
minutes backlog.

Alas, I didn't run YAAC for days after implementing the fix, so I
didn't notice any quota leak.

I will look into it the next time I can work on YAAC.

After applying the latest update, I am now getting an alert as
expected with an incoming message, however, it is not lasting. I
participate in the APRS Thursday thing and when I send my report, I
get several messages and the alert sounds. The following week, no
sounds. I have to restart YAAC to get the sounds to come again with
incoming messages. Sometime during the week, they stop working and by
the next Thursday I have to restart YAAC to get them back. My APRS
runs 24/7 here in the shack. I'm not seeing any other issues and no
indication when the sound feature stops working, until I look at the
message list and see a message came in and I got no alert. Ideas? --
