No sound using qt5 branch

[barjac]

I just tried a re-package of cutecw in Mageia cauldron using your 'convert-to-qt5' branch - and while it builds fine there is no sound at all (with or without pulesaudio enabled).

[baz@jackodesktop ~]$ cutecw

Any ideas?

You didn't find a solution, did you @barjac ?
Thanks.

No sorry - I have been using CW Studio which works fine.
Also sorry for the long delay - I just fell across this while browsing!

I finished porting CuteCW to Qt5 in my fork (https://github.com/rhaamo/CuteCW) and have been using it a few times and no issues with sound.

[barjac]

Ah - OK, thanks. I have pushed the 1.2 release to our dev branch and running under plasma5 with pulseaudio there is sound. However there are issues with some character's sound being truncated so that 'u' is received as 's' etc. The truncation coincides with a click in the sound output.
You can see my response with 's' to a 'u':

Sorry to say that while there is audio in plasma5 now in both 64 and 32 bit builds, there is none in 32 bit LXDE or XFCE DEs. Same 'Raw audio format not supported by backend, cannot play audio.' error.
This is using:
pulseaudio-10.0
qt5 5.6.2

I don't know about the sounds cutted, I don't remember having or got feedbacks about that but I'm open to integrate fixes.

About the 'no audio', IIRC you need more packages for this, the debian package requires theses ones:

libqt5multimedia5 libqt5multimedia5-plugins

Can you check you have them ?

[barjac]

I saw that Debian packages libqt5multimedia5-plugins, but I maintain cutecw for Mageia and we don't have that package. Everything in the Debian libqt5multimedia5-plugins package is included in our qt5multimedia5 package.
Our bug report on this may have something to help:
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21911

[barjac]

OK I found the issue in our packaging - I thought I had checked this but it seems that the required libs are in our qtmultimedia5 package which is not installed by default in DE's other than plasma5 and for some reason it was not being rpm auto-required either by cutecw. Sorry for the noise and thanks for making me look again at the deps :)
The truncated sounds in the other bug however are still an issue :(

The main branch is now hopefully stable again and works with qt6. This should fix everyone's issues I hope. I think there may still a bug in windows.
