  • Platform: Ubuntu Linux (kernel info: see below)
  • Test Method:
    • Basic: examples/monitor_print.py
    • Comprehensive: examples/test_linux_manual.py
    • Device enumeration: examples/list_audio_devices_linux.py

System Configuration:

OS: Ubuntu Linux
Python: 3.12.3
uv version: (current)

Audio Hardware Detected: The test system had multiple USB audio devices:

  1. Logitech StreamCam (card0)

    • Type: USB webcam with audio
    • Devices: /dev/snd/controlC0, /dev/snd/pcmC0D0c

  2. Sound Blaster GS3 (card1)

    • Type: USB sound card
    • Vendor: Creative Technology Ltd
    • Devices: /dev/snd/controlC1, /dev/snd/pcmC1D0p

  4. Generic USB Audio (card2)

    • Type: USB audio interface
    • Devices: Multiple PCM devices

  5. Intel SOF Audio (card3)

    • Type: Built-in audio (Sound Open Firmware)
    • Multiple playback and capture devices

Total devices monitored: 29 sound subsystem devices

Test Results:

✅ Monitor Initialization

  • pyudev context created successfully
  • Monitor filtered to 'sound' subsystem
  • Background thread started without errors

✅ Event Detection

  • Device add events detected: None, /dev/snd/pcmC0D0c, /dev/snd/controlC0
  • Monitor polls with 1.0s timeout (allows clean shutdown)
  • Events logged at DEBUG level with device node information

✅ Debouncing

  • Multiple rapid add/remove events coalesced into single callbacks
  • Observed delta: 3207ms between first two callbacks (indicating consolidation)
  • Debounce time: 200ms (configurable)

✅ Callback Invocation

  • Sync callback on_devices_changed() executed successfully
  • Callbacks marshalled to asyncio loop thread safely
  • No race conditions observed

✅ Lifecycle Management

  • Monitor starts cleanly
  • Background thread runs continuously
  • Monitor stops within timeout (2.0s)
  • No resource leaks detected

Dependencies Tested:

  • pyudev>=0.24.0 (version 0.24.4 installed)

Example Output:

======================================================================
Linux Audio Device Hot-Plug Test
======================================================================

This test will monitor for audio device changes using pyudev.
...
✅ Monitor started successfully

Waiting for audio device changes...
(Try plugging/unplugging a USB audio device)

2026-03-04 23:13:08,500 - audio_hotplug.monitor - DEBUG - Sound device add: None
2026-03-04 23:13:08,502 - audio_hotplug.monitor - DEBUG - Sound device add: /dev/snd/pcmC0D0c
2026-03-04 23:13:08,507 - audio_hotplug.monitor - DEBUG - Sound device add: /dev/snd/controlC0

🔊 Callback #2 - Delta: 3207ms
   Time: 23:13:08.707
[10s elapsed - 2 callbacks so far]

Manual Tests Performed:

  • ✅ Monitor startup
  • ✅ Device enumeration (29 devices found)
  • ✅ Event detection (add/remove)
  • ✅ Callback invocation
  • ✅ Debouncing behavior
  • ⚠️ USB hot-plug (to be tested: physical unplug/replug)

Known Limitations:

  • Monitor uses polling with 1.0s timeout (acceptable latency for audio device changes)
  • Requires pyudev system library (python3-pyudev or equivalent)
  • Device enumeration shows some devices without device nodes (parent devices)

macOS Testing

  • Status: ⚠️ UNTESTED
  • Platform: macOS (requires testing environment)
  • Implementation: Ported from LedFx, uses pyobjc-framework-CoreAudio

Dependencies:

  • pyobjc-framework-CoreAudio>=9.0

Next Steps:

  • Test on macOS system with multiple audio devices
  • Verify CoreAudio property listeners work correctly
  • Test default device changes
  • Test USB audio hot-plug events

Integration Testing

LedFx Integration (Phase 4)

  • Status: PENDING
  • Will test with actual LedFx application after publishing to PyPI

Recommendations

Before v1.0 Release

  • Complete macOS manual testing
  • Test USB audio hot-plug/unplug on all platforms
  • Test with rapid device changes (stress testing)
  • Verify memory usage over extended periods
  • Test with various audio device types (USB, Bluetooth, virtual)

Additional Testing

  • Test with virtual audio devices (VB-Audio, BlackHole, etc.)
  • Test behavior when permissions are denied
  • Test with audio devices that have multiple endpoints
  • Benchmark callback latency from OS event to callback invocation

Bug Reports & Issues

If you encounter issues during testing:

  1. Check that platform dependencies are installed
  2. Enable DEBUG logging: logging.getLogger('audio_hotplug').setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
  3. Run device enumeration script to verify devices are visible
  4. File issue at: https://github.com/LedFx/audio-hotplug/issues

Include:

  • Platform and OS version
  • Python version
  • audio-hotplug version
  • Full logs with DEBUG enabled
  • Audio hardware configuration
