Hi, I’m trying to do audio and voice configuration in runtime.cfg but I can’t get defaultSink and defaultVoice working.
Only defaultTTS=voicerss works.

################### AUDIO #######################
org.eclipse.smarthome.audio:defaultSource=System Microphone
org.eclipse.smarthome.audio:defaultSink=Sonos04Wohnen

##################### VOICE ####################
org.eclipse.smarthome.voice:defaultTTS=voicerss
#org.eclipse.smarthome.voice:defaultSTT=
org.eclipse.smarthome.voice:defaultVoice=VoiceRSS – Deutsch (Deutschland)
#org.eclipse.smarthome.voice:defaultHLI=

With the above runtime.cfg, in PaperUI/Configuration/System it looks like this:

My sonos.things looks like this:

Thing sonos:PLAY1:Sonos04Wohnen "Sonos04Wohnen" @ "Sonos" [ udn="RINCON_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", refresh=60]

In PaperUI/Configuration/System/Audio I’m able to select Sonos04Wohnen as Default Sink from the pulldown-menu.
But why dosn’t it work in runtime.cfg?

And in PaperUI/Configuration/System/Voice I’m able to select VoiceRSS – Deutsch (Deutschland) from the pulldown-menu as Default Voice.
But why dosn’t it work in runtime.cfg?

I even tried

org.eclipse.smarthome.voice:defaultVoice=deDE

without success.

In karaf-console

smarthome:voice voices

shows me

Thanks in advance!

Hi @anfaenger,

I afraid I cannot tell you the answer either. I have an idea for defaultSink and defaultVoice - no guarantee:

Please try this:

################### AUDIO #######################
org.eclipse.smarthome.audio:defaultSink=sonos:PLAY1:Sonos04Wohnen

##################### VOICE #####################
org.eclipse.smarthome.voice:defaultTTS=voicerss
org.eclipse.smarthome.voice:defaultVoice=voicerss:deDE

Hello @cweitkamp,

Great! You’re right!
Both, sonos:PLAY1:Sonos04Wohnen and voicerss:deDE work for me.
Do you also have an idea for the defaultSink?

I tried this, but it don’t work.

org.eclipse.smarthome.audio:defaultSource=System Microphone

Thanks a lot!

No, I have not. Sry.

After checking the Karaf consloe with “smarthome:audio sources” I found that the single entry “System Microphone” is called “javasound” on Karaf.
So the entry for the runtime.cfg for org.eclipse.smarthome.audio:defaultSource is “System Microphone”

Hello Jürgen,

javasound works. Thank you very much!

For all: Here is the summary of this topic with the whole solution.

Put this in /etc/openhab2/services/runtime.cfg

################### AUDIO #######################
org.eclipse.smarthome.audio:defaultSource=javasound
org.eclipse.smarthome.audio:defaultSink=sonos:PLAY1:Sonos04Wohnen
### If sonos:PLAY1:SonosName don’t work, one can try sonos:PLAY1:RINCON_?????????????????

##################### VOICE ####################
org.eclipse.smarthome.voice:defaultTTS=voicerss
org.eclipse.smarthome.voice:defaultVoice=voicerss:deDE

and you get this in Paper UI > Configuration > System

For the Sonos audiosink my system (OH2.3) didn’t like the given name. I had to use the “sonos:PLAY1:RINCON_949F3E7D2EF401400” as stated on Karaf console by “smarthome:audio sinks”.

I’m also on openHAB 2.3.0-1 (Release Build). I added this additional info above.
