Can't get started with FMOD studio API

FMOD Studio
1

Hello,

I’am currently facing problem using FMOD Studio API with Raspberry pi, I have downloaded fmodstudioapi10807linux/ , but I just don’t find how to use it… I have FMOD error 51 - Error initializing output device…
In the end I just want to use FMOD library to make a time accurate drummachine…

Please help me, I’m realy desperate…

Thank you for all your help…

Hi thank you for your fast answer and sorry for my mail provider…

So here are my log when I redirect the stderr, I make the file by this way : make CPU=armhf CONFIG=Debug and then just ./play_sound 2>>log.txt and here is what I get :

[LOG] SystemI::close                           : done.

So I think this is about pulse audio, what should I do then ?

Thank you aggain for all your help !

I’ve merged your second response into your original question and updated my answer to reflect this new information.

Thanks for posting on the Q&A, we received your question via e-mail however all responses we send bounce from your mail provider.

FMOD Studio API certainly supports the Raspberry Pi, you can read about the different ABIs we support here, you’ll want the armhf version.

A good starting place is the examples, the simplest is “play_sound”, try testing with that.
Also I recommend linking with the logging version of FMOD to get detailed error information via stderr. This will help diagnose your error code during init.

EDIT:

Based on your updated log information, it looks like your default device will be “pulse” and PulseAudio isn’t working / enabled at the moment. You should try playback using “sysdefault” or “dmix” instead. To do this use System::getNumDrivers (to know how many there are), System::getDriverInfo (to know what each one is) and System::setDriver (to select the desired output driver. You should do all of this before System::init.
