beep on completion of batch processing

I've merged the two topics to lessen the confusion.

Could I impose on you to un-merge these two topics and just completely eliminate the topic I had hidden away. That code has nothing to do with batch processing and does not help Steve so probably will not help you.

I've no idea why you hid it away, Ed. You referred to it when I had no idea what you were talking about (so I had to spend time trying to find the post). When I did find it, it seemed relevant to beep and had beep in its title and in the name of the patch.

But if you want to expunge your posts here that came from that topic, please go ahead.

As for my not hearing the beep in HEAD on Windows 7 (i.e. without your patch), I now can hear them, but I am not sure why. I had all Windows Sounds turned off (the "No Sounds" scheme on the "Sounds" tab of Windows "Sound"). That should not matter as the Audacity beep or the file it plays is not a system sound. However after changing to "Windows Default" Sound Scheme the Audacity beep sounded, and it is still there after changing back to "No Sounds".

Is anyone else hearing or not hearing the beep?

I'll let you know what your patch does on Windows, Mac and Linux when I can.

Incidentally although Audacity HEAD produces no beep for me on Ubuntu 13.04, I do hear the system error noise if I type letters into the boxes in Change Pitch, which I understand Steve does not hear. Richard Ash (on Linux) said at the time Leland made these changes back in 2009 that he could hear the long processes beep.

I do now hear a beep if I type letters into the boxes in Change Pitch. I needed to enable system beeps.
I still don't hear the wxSound beep.

@Gale & Steve - have you tried building the wxWidgets sound sample:

Code: Select all

wxWidgets-2.8.12samplessound

of course the wxWidgets folks are no longer supporting the 2.8 series so if you get sound there than it is an Audacity problem and getting help figuring it out might be difficult.

have you tried building the wxWidgets sound sample:

I have now - no sound.

Try building and testing the 2.9.x (SVN HEAD) version of wxWidgets and its sound sample…

BUMP

does this need transferring to the Wiki or just archiving?

My opinion is you could count this as two votes for a beep after a full Chain completes (but no beep for individual dialogues in a Chain).

Then archive this.

As the BoC03 patch was stale I attach an update, please check it.

I had in .cfg:

Code: Select all

BeepAfterDuration=5
BeepFileName=D:\klaxon.wav

Windows 7 x64, applied attached patch.

Applying Chain to project, I got the Klaxon for each dialogue in the Chain.

Applying Chain (5 minutes total time) to files, I got no Klaxon at any point in the Chain.

Removing my two .cfg lines (Beep on Completion still enabled in Interface Preferencess) then applying Chain (5 minutes total time) to files, I got no beep at any point in the Chain.

The Beep is working e.g. for generating a tone that takes 90 seconds.

So I can't reproduce the success Ed had with this patch.
