No Sound (at all) on iGo Primo 1.2

Sun Mar 13, 2011 6:17 am

Hello all,

I'm having a really hard time trying to get sound to work on my incar sat nav. Its a Navsure N420I. So far i have managed to load up iGO Primo 1.2 to work with maps and the navigation works perfect, how ever there is no sound. The software my incar sat nav normally runs is iGO 6. This works fine and i can hear sound perfectly, i have looked through the sys.txt and there is nothing in the config about sound. I have compared the data.zip files and there isnt much difference, i tried copied over all the content (not overwriting, just merging) from the igo6's data.zip to the new igo primos data.zip, then igo refused to load.

My incar sat nav has a 7" screen and uses 480X234 resolution (i use dataprimo12_480_234.rar) and you can update the maps/software via SD card.

Also my data.zip is only 12MB is this right/ok?

Here is my sys.txt

2528

Since my In car Satnav copies over all the contents inside of the Navigation folder to internal memory i have to have two folders, one contains the igo navigation software, and the other contains the contents folder. This works no problem and everything works. I have ran a custom bootloader just to see if this was the issue, and i still had no sound.

Can anyone help please / point me in the right direction?

Many thanks,

Murty

Where did you get your copy of Primo 1.2?

Maybe start with the basics first.
Have you explored Primo and are sure the volume is on?
Is the devices volume on?

I wouldn't normally butt-in since Nabi and Fatboyfun are working with you and too many cooks spoil the brew but I did have a thought and I would like to present it. If you have selected a TTS voice from the options and you don't have the proper .dlls in the root of the iGO folder along with the voice in content, you won't hear anything.

EDIT: Sorry, Primo not iGO.

Hey, I got my copy off of a well know w4ar3z forum, i know the copy works as i have it working on my Personal Satnav and sound works no issues there, only difference is my personal Sat Nav is running Wince5 and my incar one is running Wince4.2, Also i have tried 2 copies of iGo Primo 1.2 on it, still no luck.

Hey dude, i have the standard voices installed that came with the Primo when i downloaded it. As above in the first picture.

WinCE 4.2 will need different TTS dlls for TTS to work, However that won't affect the normal voices. I haven't tried Primo 1.2 on my WinCE4.2 device yet, Did you just copy the Primo folder from your other working device with no edits made?

Sun Mar 13, 2011 4:07 pm

Hey dude, i'm just using the standard voices, the only edits i did was to spilt the 2 folders down, one is called Navigation which contains the EXE's, and the other contains maps, poi's golbal_cfg etc,

A few screenies

A bit of an update. If i run a custom launcher to be able to boot up and view control panel in Wince 4.2 i cannot play any sounds in the sound tester. The processor type is Samsung/ ARM-ARM920. Is there any way of fixing this?

Some devices have custom drivers for device hardware that the original application loads, Are you able to start the original software then exit and try the new software, Don't reboot the device inbetween.

I gave that a try but still couldn't get any sound out of it. I have tried merging the 2 data.zip files together, also changing the laug folder and voices to the standard ones i use, and still i haven't got any sound out of it.

Here is what is inside of data.zip on my original card. (Location: igo_se1/480_234/ui/sound_480_234.ui)

Spoiler: Show

This is another file called main_480_234.ui (go_se1/480_234/main_480_234.ui)

Spoiler: Show

Another script called settings_main.ini

Spoiler: Show

I'm not sure where else to check

Here is a copy of Igo 6 from my incar satnav. I have removed maps to make the download very small.

[Please Register or Login to download file]

Thanks.

@ murty

Thanks for doing the iGO 6 upload. I just have a few questions first. First of all, it's obvious that you know what you're doing so 1. Instead of playing with Primo, why not just upgrade to iGO 8.3 from the program sub-section here? You'll get all the current content from here also. Isn't that ultimately what you want to do anyway? 2. If you MUST have Primo 1.2, why not just download my upload "working Primo 1.2 from my device" in the program sub-section here. I've modified it so it ready "out of the box." You can adapt [if need be] the sys.txt for your device.

Remember to back-up your device first.

Good! All my uploads "working............" are ready out of the box.

I will dig out my WinCE4.2 device later and load Primo 1.2 and see if it works, It may be that 4.2 is not supported anymore.
