Anki 2.1.33 Linux audio stops working

Anki Help

This is quite a surprise. I guess, running Tools - Check Media doesn’t report any missing or unused files.

The following steps to create mpv log file might not help but I’m not sure what else to do to find where is the problem or how to reproduce it.

  • Install “Debug No Sound” - https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/881480056

    The add-on will prevent Anki from restarting mpv if mpv is no longer responding and mpv log file won’t be overwritten.

  • Don’t restart Anki

  • Open the Debug Console, copy-paste the following lines and press Ctrl+Return to tell mpv to create mpv.debug.log.txt in the Anki2 folder.

    https://docs.ankiweb.net/#/misc?id=debug-console

    import os
from aqt import mw
from aqt.sound import mpvManager
logfile = os.path.join(mw.pm.base, 'mpv.debug.log.txt')
path = os.path.expanduser(logfile)
with open(os.path.join(mw.pm.base, 'mpv.conf'), 'a') as f:
    f.write('log-file={}\n'.format(path))
print('log-file:', mpvManager.get_property('log-file'))
# restart mpv to apply new settings
mpvManager.shutdown()
print('log-file:', mpvManager.get_property('log-file'))

    As an alternative, manually create mpv.conf in the Anki2 folder with log-file=....

  • Then restart Anki and review cards until there’s no sound.

Once there’s no sound, click the audio replay button a few times, then look at the ‘mpv.debug.log.txt’ in Anki2 folder. Maybe it’ll show why there’s no sound or maybe not.

And maybe open the Debug Console in Anki and run this code.

from aqt.sound import av_player, mpvManager
print(av_player.current_player)
mpvManager.shutdown()
print(mpvManager.get_property("mpv-version"))
print(av_player.current_player)
