Audio not coming through Kindle 8th Generation Basic

[Andruant550]

Kindle model 8th generation basic, Galaxy buds connected the plugin appears to be working though when pairing the buds a window pops up with an error. Apparently the buds get connected but when clicking on start reading the sound does not come through and a new error window appears.

Hi @Andruant550, could you generate and share the crash.log (no crash is necessary) and the generated report, (instructions for both in the README)? That way is easier to address the bug. Just replicate the issue and short after get the files.

Cheers!

Hi @Andruant550, your version of Kindle doesn't expose a normal sound device to apps. Amazon only lets audio through its own internal system ("mixersink"), and the plugin version you have (0.1.16.11) was written before the corrections. Your own test showed that path works perfectly on your Kindle.

Please install the latest release from the Releases page (0.1.17.45 or newer): download the zip, replace the old audiobook.koplugin folder in the plugins directory, and restart KOReader. Then try reading aloud again.

If there's still no sound after that, please generate a fresh bug report (Audiobook menu > Generate bug report) and attach it here.

Cheers!
