[Alsa-user] SB16 no isapnp

2005-12-27 Thread Hans Ekbrand
Hardware: SB16 (4.13) no isapnp
Kernels 2.6.8 and 2.4.27 (Debian, sarge)

With OSS the following works:

modprobe sb io=0x220 irq=7 mpu_io=0x330 dma=1 dma16=5

With ALSA I tried the following:

modprobe snd-sb16 port=0x220 irq=7 mpu_port=0x330 dma8=1 dma16=5

but I get "no device found".

Hints anyone?

[Alsa-user] stumped: PCM capture only gets one channel

2005-12-27 Thread Mark Laubach

Greeting to the list, sorry for the bother if this is easy.

I'm bringing up a new system and I am stumped.

When I capture from the card with a live stereo input, the
wav file that gets created only has one channel modulated, the
other channel is zero/noise.

OS: Fedora 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp
Card/Chip:  Ensoniq AudioPCI / TriTech TR28602
Alsa release: 1.0.10
MB: Asus P5P800

Typical capture invocation:

  arecord -v -d 5 -t wav -f cd -D hw:2,0  test.wav

The verbose output looks ok (see below).  If anyone can spot anything
and give me a pointer that would fix the problem, it would be most
appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark

[Alsa-user] nForce2 rear device

2005-12-27 Thread Bruno Roggeri
Hello, and merry christmas everyone!

I'm trying to use my 2 surround speakers as a simple stereo output and I get 
this error :

$ aplay -Drear plop.wav
ALSA lib pcm.c:1969:(snd_pcm_open_conf) Invalid type for PCM rear definition 
(id: rear, value: cards.pcm.rear)
aplay: main:544: audio open error: Invalid argument

Trying with -Dplug:rear results with exactly the same error.

Some information on my system :
$ cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [nForce2]: NFORCE - NVidia nForce2
 NVidia nForce2 with ALC650F at 0xdb087000, irq 11

ALSA version :1.0.10

I obtain those results without any asoundrc...

As a workaround, I'm using

pcm.prear {
type plug
slave.pcm surround51
slave.channels 6
ttable.0.2 1
ttable.1.3 1

}

which works, but blocks the whole device. Should I hope for better ? If not, 
shoudln't the rear device do that for me already ?

Thanks,
Bruno

You are using the wrong driver. The Dell SBLive! is not a real SBLive!.
You want to use "snd-emu10k1x" not "snd-emu10k1".

Lee.

New: 
Thanks Lee R., and others.

System is as before; Debian etch system using udev, 
fresh ALSA download v1.0.11rc1.

I reached the point of inserting the modules into the kernel 
via modprobe, 
whilst attempting to install the correct Dell OEM 
snd-emu10k1x driver as Alsa homepage [http://tinyurl.com/58b27]

When I attempt to run the command, however, it returns errors. 
Please advise. Should I ignore them and continue through
the rest of the installation guide? Or, do something else? 
The full text of the errors is appended to bottom this of e-mail.

Thanks.

It sounds like your ALSA modules were not compiled against the same
kernel version you are running, or you did not remove all snd-* modules
before trying to install the new ones.

If someone has actually made a Linux distro that Just Works for the
masses (no editing text config files to get wireless or web browsing or
cd burning or MP3 playing to work) then IMHO they can advertise all they
want.

Red Hat, SuSE, Ubuntu, and zillions of others have worked on this
problem for YEARS and we're still not there.

> which works, but blocks the whole device. Should I hope for better ?

Probably not, since the card doesn't do hardware mixing I suspect you
can either play a single stereo source or a single 6-channel source. 
You could look into dmix, which should allow you to open the front and
rear PCMs at the same time, and dmix would mix them into a single
6-channel source.

Of course thanks to the wonderful ALSA configuration format this is
easier said than done ;-)

Cheers,
Adam.

I mailed one of the guys there.  Still trying to get the lowdown,
but I did d/l the iso.

The quirky part was when I asked the guy which distro it was based
on and does he handle upgrades or are they user defined like
synaptic etc., the repsonse was Tomahawk is not based on Debian RH etc.

So it may be in the ballpark of Linspire-- pay as you go.  I'm hoping
to get clarification.  More and more it looks like an "enterprise"
venture, but hey, if a "license" cost a dollar a month and it
actually worked, I might consider it.
