Resetting Audio Cards - alastairtech/rivendell GitHub Wiki

Sometimes you may encounter audio issues with the on board soundcards on ARM devices. This method forces a refresh of Rivendell's audio resources. Your mileage may vary when using this method to cure audio problems. Sometimes you may have to repeat the process.

In a terminal run the following command.

sudo systemctl stop rivendell

Now run the RDAlsaConfig utility from the Rivendell Configuration Menu. Un-select all highlighted soundcards and click save.

Now in the terminal run the following commands. We're basically telling Rivendell to refresh its soundcard settings.

sudo systemctl start rivendell && sudo systemctl stop rivendell

Now run the RDAlsaConfig utility again from the Rivendell Configuration Menu. Re-select all soundcards you wish to use and click save.

Finally use the termainl to start the Rivendell service again.

sudo systemctl start rivendell

Always good to double check your Audio Resources in RDAdmin's Host setting to make sure the soundcards have been detected correctly.
