Hi,

i've a new usb soundcard (the other one dies) and no sound.

i found the problem in radarbluez.py i had to change MIXERNAME, my usb soundcard mixers name is not SPEAKER

Snip:

> Audio: Available Card:bcm2835 Headphones Mixer: Headphone
> Audio: Available Card:TX42BD100 Mixer: Headphone
> Audio: Available Card:TX42BD100 Mixer: Extension Unit
> Radarbluez: Mixer not found!
> SoundInit: Bluetooth active:False ExtSound active: False ExtSound volume: 50.

after change MIXERNAME to "Extension Unit" sound is working.

I dont't try headphone, while the name is double.

Hi OdomLinx,

yes, your approach was the right one. Depending on the USB hardware it may happen that other mixers are supplied by the cards.
To solve it also for future releases I will add an option.
So in future the option '--mixer "Extension Unit" ' in stratux_radar.sh will do the job. As soon as I have some time I will include it in the new version 1.8.

Hi OdomLinx,
as promised this feature is included in version 1.8. You can specify "-mx MIXERNAME" as an option in your stratux_radar.sh script.
