Thanks to your diagnosis, I've managed to get it working in ubuntu by replacing every occurence of
g_thread_init(NULL); in the source with


Code:


if (!g_thread_supported())
g_thread_init(NULL);

and it seems to have fixed the problem after recompiling (found this by googling). Everything now
seems to be working great, except that I get


Code:

** (sgc:15204): WARNING **: No sound from praat!

whenever I try to record. Not really sure how praat works so I don't know how to approach this one.

This is praat, it has a static binary, see if you can get audio out of it by default We use this
thing. I'll put your code into our git.

Crosses fingers

Presumably someone will fix the problems with XP soon

/Crosses fingers.

I'm attaching the error report that XP tries to send to Microsoft on the offchance it means
anything to anyone. Greek to me.

When I do "record mono sound" in praat it works fine; I can play it back etc., but when I press
record in sgc it looks like it doesn't even try to record anything, it just immediately gives me
the above message, no 5 second wait or anything.










Skinkie -

It could be this compile uses OSS and praat could be using portaudio by now. You can check it out
by stracing the SGC app. (If it borks on a /dev/dsp)

Does playing audio work?










toads -

SGC plays sounds perfectly, and I can't find anything related to /dev/dsp in the strace. For what
it's worth I tried using both the current static praat binary from the website (4.6.12) and the
one from ubuntu's praat package (4.5.06); both have the same effect.










Skinkie -

Do you have a messenger like msn/icq/etc.? Otherwise mail me. There was one person on Linux having
a general sound card problem. But no sound from praat is the error when NULL is returned as
pointer.

Quick bit of extra info. Doctor Watson log says:

I tried to start SGC in safe mode, but it still crashed.

roddy,

Did you get a chance to try the program? Any thoughts on its effectiveness?

Has anyone else tried it?
