Audio Trigger Factory: 100% CPU, Doesn't Work

Travis Cook · Sun Sep 15, 2013 5:23 pm

I've been trying to figure out how to use the Audio Trigger Factory, but can't seem to get it to work. As soon as I check the "Enable" box, one of the cores of my CPU goes to 100%, attributed to "qlcplus --open". Beyond that, nothing happens. All the collumns in the audio trigger section are empty black spots, and nothing shows up in the volume section. I set things to happen at different levels, but nothing ever did.

During my tests, I was playing music in to the computer via the mic-in jack. I can hear the music through the computer speakers, and if I open up Audacity, I can see and record the music, so the hardware seems to be working fine. In Audacity I have the option to select the input audio device - a setting that I cannot seem to find in QLC+ anywhere! However, Audacity also got it right by default, and almost all the choices still worked.

Further troubleshooting the issue, I created a brand new project with no fixtures, no scenes, or anything. I started the music playing, opened the audio trigger factory, and pressed Enable. When I did, I finally saw the yellow and green bars in the section, but they are frozen in place, not moving with the music as I would have expected. If I go into the settings, or close the trigger factory and re-open it, the bars are all gone and it's back to just black.

Here are the details about my configuration...

A few more pieces of info I just found.

First - a correction - I previously stated that the bars that appeared but froze when I enabled the factory went black after closing and re-opening the section. That was incorrect - the bars remain when you re-open it, still frozen in their original position. They only go away if you go into the setup for the triggers, or if you disable and re-enable it. If you disable/re-enable, it never shows bars again. It's only the first time after opening the program.

Also - I'm now able to view those initial frozen bars even on my project with fixtures and scenes. This is new today - yesterday it was only the empty project - but it still doesn't seem to work in any way and the CPU is still at 100%.

I tried running qlcplus via a console to look for any errors being logged to console. Every time I start the program, it says:

"Unable to load library icui18n "Cannot load library icui18n: (libicui18n.so.48: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)"

Q Light Controller Plus version 4.4.1"

When I first ran it, it also said:

"ALSA lib seq_hw.c:457:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: Permission denied"

I thought this was likely related to the issue. Given the permission issue, I tried running qlcplus as root, to see if things worked. The error went away, but the problem didn't change at all - still 100% CPU, still no functionality.

I then exited, and tried running as a regular user again. The error did not reappear on the console. The problem still exists. Maybe it wasn't related after all.
