Re: [ALSA - utils 0001174]: Speaker Test fails with error message(s) from alsa lib. "problem for start_threshold"

[Raymond <rayau@netvigator.com>]

I notice that there are female voice wav files in samples subdirectory.

ls speaker-test/samples
Front_Center.wav  Makefile     Noise.wav        Rear_Right.wav 
Side_Right.wav
Front_Left.wav    Makefile.am  Rear_Center.wav  sample_map.csv
Front_Right.wav   Makefile.in  Rear_Left.wav    Side_Left.wav


Is there an option to use female voice instead of pink noise, sine wave ?

speaker-test --help

speaker-test 0.0.8

Usage: speaker-test [OPTION]...

-t,--test       1=use pink noise, 2=use sine wave
