Download the following trees. 1) alsa-kernel 2) alsa-driver This should give you two directories, alsa-kernel and alsa-driver. 3) cd alsa-driver The hgcompile script will expect you current linux kernel sources to be in /usr/src/linux.

[Alsa-user] Switching audio devices on the fly?
Hi is there a possibility to switch audio devices "on the fly". That is, while the program that will use (but does not do this at the moment!) the device is running? To give an example: Using twinkle (a VOIP program), I?d like to have it using the internal audio device as long as there is no external one connected. But when I connect a bluetooth headset, I would like to have it use the new audio device instead. I wrote an .asoundrc defining a new device TEST that symlinks to hw:0,0 (internal) or to hw:0,1 (external). Using aplay -d TEST works as expected. That is: It uses the internal speaker when TEST links to hw:0,0 and the external bluetooth device when linked to hw:0,1 However, when I start twinkle (and twinkle uses TEST as device) any changes to .asoundrc (e.g. switching TEST to hw:0,1) are only recognized after a restart of twinkle. :-( I hope I could make my question clear and that there is a nice solution to this problem. Thanks, Michael BTW.: At the moment I am using a pretty silly workaround. I have twinkle using OSS instead of alsa with a special device /dev/dsp3 which is a simple file symlink to either /dev/dsp0 or /dev/dsp1. Starting twinkle then with aoss makes it use alsa, but I am able to switch devices on the fly by changing the symlink. Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

You can set the default soundcard with gnome-sound-properties - it creates an .asoundrc that sets the default device. There should really be no need to reorder sound cards as they can be addressed by name. It's best to fix the apps that are hardcoded to talk to the first device. I'm not sure what you mean by "stop/start ALSA services". ALSA does not run any daemons and config file changes take place immediately. Users should really not need to modify .asoundrc. If the default does not DTRT it's a bug. What use cases do you have in mind? Lee Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

[Alsa-user] Soundblaster live 5.1 24 bits: problem with microphone.
Dear all, I have the Soundblaster live 5.1 24 bits and playing sounds using aplay some_random_wav_file.wav works great, but my microphone doesn't. I tried arecord test.wav and to then play this wav file, but I don't hear anything. Sometimes this gives the error "overrun!!! (at least 0.058 ms long)" but not always. I have alsa 1.0.9a that came with my SuSe distribution. In kmix there normally is (besides "Ouput" and "Switches") an "Input" tab in kmix (e.g. at work and in screenshots that I saw on the web) but I do not have that tab at my place. lsmod | grep snd looks like snd_pcm_oss70432 0 snd_mixer_oss 22144 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_seq68824 0 snd_seq_device 11024 1 snd_seq snd_ca0106 35908 2 snd_ac97_codec117188 1 snd_ca0106 snd_pcm 117260 3 snd_pcm_oss,snd_ca0106,snd_ac97_codec snd_timer 29320 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm snd77600 12 snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_ca0106,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 11808 1 snd snd_ac97_bus3328 1 snd_ac97_codec snd_page_alloc 13200 2 snd_ca0106,snd_pcm ls /proc/asound/card0 gives ca0106_i2cca0106_reg8 id pcm0c pcm1p pcm3c ca0106_reg16 ca0106_regs1 iec958 pcm0p pcm2c pcm3p ca0106_reg32 ca0106_regs2 oss_mixer pcm1c pcm2p In the alsamixer, I have under the section "Capture" the channels AC97in, Analog C, Analog F, Analog S, CAPTURE, SPDIF Ce, SPDIF Fr, SPDIF Re, SPDIF Un, SPDIF in, SPDIF out, SRC out, i2s in, i2s mixer. AC97in has as value "L R CAPTUR" and that is printed in red. Most of these channels have automatically the same value als in "Playback" and I cannot set them from the "Capture" section. The ones that are unique to the "Capture" section I cannot set either. Using up and down arrow as in the "Playback" section simply does not have any visible effect. Does anyone know what I could try to get my microphone working? Many thanks, Chris Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

I think you have me on the right track.Bob Bob,check 'cdparanoia' - it's a program which rips CDs into .wav files with goodquality. And you may rip only a track or even less.'aplay' is the "canonical" application used to test ALSA and "officially"supported by ALSA developers. The counterpart of 'aplay' is 'arecord'. Sergei: Thanks for getting me over the cdrom hurdle. I tried the program and it copied part of a cd for me. However when I tried to play it with aplay, it said it was playing "Playing Wave 'cdda.wav' : Signed : 16 bit Little endian, Rate 44100 Stereo " but still no sound. When I booted up after setting up amixer and /etc/asound.state was read, it gave this message " Failed to obtain info for control #15 ( Invalid argument ) amixer: Control default snd_hctl_elem_info error: Invalid argument.

The case of the original poster is a bit complicated. He's using x86-64, and firefox is likely i386 binary.

For example Firefox seems to use mplayer to play embedded .mp3 content, like: http://teddyraps.ytmnd.com/ It seems that Firefox has no way at all to play audio itself.

I'd be interested in what you did to get 5.1 surround working, including relevant parts of asoundrc. I just got a Creative SB Live! 24-bit external, which is also a USB audio device, but may or may not be internally similar to your device. Stereo seems to work fine with no special configuration, but I haven't gotten 5.1 to work yet. Using a Via onboard 7.1 audio system, I just had to use the ALSA surround51 device to get output on three stereo 1/8th inch jacks, but I get the following when I try the same with the Live! USB box. I don't know what type is invalid. marvin ~ # speaker-test -D pcm.surround51 -c 6 speaker-test 1.0.11 Playback device is pcm.surround51 Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 6 channels Using 16 octaves of pink noise ALSA lib pcm.c:2017:(snd_pcm_open_conf) Invalid type for PCM pcm.surround51 definition (id: surround51, value: cards.pcm.surround51) Using Tomcat but need to do more?

What I have only just done is compile the ALSA modules from the 1.0.11-3 sources at http://www.lxtec.de/debarchiv that have had the alsa-timer-irqsave.patch applied. Even with module-assistant, it wasn't immediately straightforward to go from the alsa-source and linux-source-2.6.17 to produce modules that had a version number of 2.6.17-1-686 to match the kernel. Anyone care to write a how-to? Having done that, MIDI playback under kernel 2.6.17-1-686 with the SoundBlaster Live! 5.1 model 0220 sound card now works fine (-:. Arthur.
