IntroductionChamelium provides capturing and streaming feature so user can monitor audio playing from ChromeOS for a long time.This document provides the steps to demo this feature. Prepare a Chromebook with tick noiseInstall an image on ChromeOS such that there will be tick noise caused by underrun. Kevin image R57-9178.0.0 is a good example. Play sine tone on ChromebookPlay a sine tone video on youtube, e.g. 1HR 528Hz sine toneListen to it using headphone and find there is tick noise. Connect the audio pathConnect the Chromebook to Chamelium audio board using 4 ring audio cable. Connect Chamelium blue port (LineIn) to audio board blue port using 3 ring audio cable.    Find Chamelium's IPConnect the USB serial port to workstation. Refer to network setup to get the IP address of Chamelium. Connect to Chamelium serverAssume the IP address of Chamelium is 192.168.100.4 In Chromium OS chroot, use test_server script to connect to Chamelium server. $ cd ~/trunk/src/platform/chameleon/ $ ./client/test_server.py --chameleon_host=192.168.100.4 2017-03-07 17:36:47,219:INFO:Connected to http://192.168.100.4:9992 with MAC address 94:eb:2c:00:01:41 2017-03-07 17:36:47,219:INFO:In interactive shell, p is the proxy to chameleond server 2017-03-07 17:36:47,287:INFO: Port 1 is DP.

The monitoring will keep running. Adjust volume on Chromebook, or adjust the parameter of detectorIf there is false alarm, adjust the volume on Chromebook to make it louder, or use a smaller value for margin passed to DetectAudioValue0. Use help function to get the docstrings of DetectAudioValue0: >>>help(DetectAudioValue0) Help on function DetectAudioValue0 in module __main__: DetectAudioValue0(channels=None, margin=0.01, continuous_samples=5, duration=3600, dump_samples=48000) Detects if Chameleon captures continuous audio data close to 0. This function will get the audio streaming data from stream server and will check if the audio data is close to 0 by the margin parameter. -margin < value < margin will be considered to be close to 0. If there are continuous audio samples close to 0 in the streamed data, test_server will log it and save the audio data to a wav file. E.g. >>> ConnectCrosToLineIn() >>> p.StartCapturingAudio(6, False) >>> DetectAudioValue0(duration=24*3600, margin=0.001) Args: channels: Array of audio channels we want to check. E.g. [0, 1] means we only care about channel 0 and channel 1. margin: Used to decide if the value is closed to 0. Maximum value is 1. continuous_samples: When continuous_samples samples are closed to 0, trigger event. duration: The duration of monitoring in seconds. dump_samples: When event happens, how many audio samples we want to save to file. Check the recorded defect waveformUse audacity to view the wav file. The first wav file is where underrun is detected. Press the black arrow on the left of a channel and select Spectrogram so the part where waveform dropped to zero is obvious.  The second wav file is where normal playback is resumed.  |
