Sox issue about lyrebird HOT 13 CLOSED

Did you also install the following packages for Ubuntu?

sudo apt-get install sox 
sudo apt-get install libsox-fmt-all 

At first I had problems as well but now the sox error is gone.

But for it to work, I had to load the modules while lyrebird was running.
Now I simply opened another two terminals and typed:
(Note that the first command will open pulseaudio with a new output device and therefore you need one terminal per command. Don't close this pulseaudio-window while lyrebird is open).

~$ pavucontrol load-module module-null-sink sink_name='Lyrebird-Output'
~$ pavucontrol load-module module-remap-source source_name='Lyrebird-Output'

I tested it with OBS and it works as long as I don't turn off the voice changer button.
In this case just close lyrebird and repeat the process.

did you install all the dependencies listed in the README?

more specifically, i believe ubuntu doesn't bundle libsox-fmt-pulse so you will need to install it manually using sudo apt install libsox-fmt-pulse. give that a try, and let me know if that solved your issue.

Yep, I had already installed that, did everything listed in the README, including the symlinks

hm not sure then, im tagging @harrego maybe he will be of more use

Not sure if related or a separate issue, but I was also getting

Module module-null-sink not loaded.
Module module-remap-source not loaded.

unless I manually loaded them in beforehand via

pactl load-module module-remap-source
pactl load-module module-null-sink

In fact it even seems to be actively unloading these modules upon closing lyrebird (and then lack them when starting it up again)

Edit: Seems actually unrelated, it only happens if I use the sliders before turning the toggle on.

I have the same issue.
The program worked correctly for a few seconds then I was not able to fix the problem even reinstalling the required libs again and again.

I also get the
sox FAIL formats: can't open output file `Lyrebird-Output': can not open audio device: No such entity

Using archlinux and installed using aur, not sure how to fix that.

any update?

Finally I found a workaround for

sox FAIL formats: can't open output file `Lyrebird-Output': can not open audio device: No such entity

How it works for me:

I am using Lyrebird v1.1 on Ubuntu 20.04 installed from the Debian package.
In my home directory I created the file .alsoftrc with the following content:

drivers = alsa,pulse,core,oss

[pulse]
allow-moves=yes

To get Lyrebird to work I proceed in this order:

1. I start Lyrebird from a terminal and see these messages:

~$ lyrebird &
Module module-null-sink not loaded.
Module module-remap-source not loaded.

2. I manually load the modules:

~$ load-module module-null-sink sink_name='Lyrebird-Output'
~$ load-module module-remap-source source_name='Lyrebird-Output'

3. I choose a voice pattern by pressing on one of the buttons and then turn the Lyrebird Toggle switch to on.
   In the teminal I get

~$ Loaded null output sink (0), and remap sink (0)

In my VC application I can then choose Lyrebird Virtual Input instead of the build-in microphone.
Everything works as desired.

Same issue:
"sox FAIL formats: can't open output file `Lyrebird-Output': can not open audio device: No such entity"
I only was able to fix "Module module-null-sink not loaded. \nModule module-remap-source not loaded." issue by the previous post.

I'm trying to get lyrebird to work on Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS (testing using Audacity to record). I've installed all dependencies but when I run lyrebird i receive an error:

user@computer:~$ lyrebird
Module module-null-sink not loaded.
Module module-remap-source not loaded.

I found instances of this issue 34 and 96 but haven't been able to resolve the issue on my machine.

I was hoping these instrucitons to load modules in other terminal windows would help but they didn't. My voice just doesn't change...

here's what I ran specifically:

Window 1

user@computer:~$ lyrebird
Module module-null-sink not loaded.
Module module-remap-source not loaded.
Loaded null output sink (0), and remap sink (0)

New window

user@computer:~$ pavucontrol load-module module-null-sink sink_name='Lyrebird-Output'

New window

user@computer:~$ pavucontrol load-module module-remap-source source_name='Lyrebird-Output'

"SoX: playback on is set to "Lyrebird Output""

New window

user@computer:~$ audacity

Do you have a fix for this? Am I doing something wrong here?

This has been fixed in #111 and will be included in v1.1.1
