Yes I will have the same problems when new versions will be released. But I am 
just hoping that the new packages overwrite the right files. ;-) Maybe there 
is something like a "make uninstall" option in the sources.

I think this was not an optimal solution. Anyway, you're welcome!

I have sound now.  As you suggested, I put in the alsa-base 1.0.14-rc1 from
Debian experimental and alsa-lib and alsa-driver 1.0.14rc2 from source.  I
made deb files of these but couldn't install them that way because of
conflicts.  It didn't work with just alsa-lib.  I had to install alsa-driver
and run alsaconf.

I'm a little worried what sort of mess I'll have when it comes time to
upgrade any of the debian packages involved.  dpkg still shows libasound2
1.0.13-1 installed, but many of those files were overwritten by the install
of alsa-lib from source.  alsa-driver replaced files from the package
linux-image-2.6.18-3-686 and a couple of others.  I did save archives of the
original files but don't know if that will be enough.

Anyway, I do have sound now.  Thanks, Benjamin.

Re: [Alsa-user] Recording sound from web video

2007-02-25 Thread Ingo Müller
Hi!

I did never test this, but there is a possibility to set up a virtual
microphone in the .asoundrc configuration file. You can device a new
virtual device which has to be used for playback and which would not
send the data to the soundcard (only), but to a file. You can find more
information here:

http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/alsa-lib/pcm_plugins.html#pcm_plugins_file

It'd be great if you reported if it works!

Regards, Ingo

Similar situation here.

A signal into the line in socket does not appear in the mix. I.e.
the signal is not present on the line out socket.

Trying to capture the line in gives a somewhat irregular 4150 Hz
upward sawtooth. Reading signed 16-bit samples from /dev/dsp
returns values between about 0 and 1000, never negative. Whatever
signal is present on the line in socket has no effect. What you
read from /dev/dsp is just the sawtooth. This is in mono at 44.1
kHz.

A signal into the mic in socket *does* appear in the mix. I.e. the
signal *is* present on the line out socket.

Trying to capture through the mic input gives whatever signal is
present at the mic input multiplied by the sawtooth described
above. That is multiplied, not added. What you read from /dev/dsp
is your signal AM'd by a 4.1 kHz sawtooth !

Setup :

  - Motherboard MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum (nForce 4).

  - alsamixer says "Card: NVidia CK804" and "Chip Realtek ALC805 rev 0".

  - $ lspci
00:04.0 Multimedia audio controller: nVidia Corporation CK804
  AC'97 Audio Controller (rev a2)

  - $ lspci -n
00:04.0 0401: 10de:0059 (rev a2)

  - Kernel 2.6.18.2 from kernel.org.

[Alsa-user] problem installing alsa-1.0.14 on Debian etch

2007-02-25 Thread Steve Kleene
I have no sound on my recent installation of Debian etch with alsa-1.0.13.  I
do have sound when I boot off the XP partition.  The sound is on the Intel
motherboard (chipset ICH7).  In the debian-user mailing list, it was recently
stated that the hda-intel driver for alsa-1.0.11 had some problems.  (It
didn't comment on 1.0.13.)  So I thought I'd try to bring up 1.0.14.  To
preserve the Debian package management, I used checkinstall.

1.0.14 isn't available from Debian yet.  So I tried to install alsa-driver,
alsa-lib, and alsa-utils, all the newest versions (1.0.14rc2) from
alsa-project.org.  The first two compiled successfully but gave conflicts
when I tested their installation.

When I ran for alsa-driver

  checkinstall -D make install-modules

I got the following conflict:
  trying to ovewrite `/lib/modules/2.6.18-3-686/modules.isapnpmap, which \
is also in package linux-image-2.6.18-3-686

When I ran for alsa-lib

  checkinstall -D make install

I got the following conflict:
  trying to ovewrite `/usr/bin/nm`, which is also in package binutils

alsa-utils wouldn't compile because it needs the newer alsa-lib.

I'd appreciate any advice on where to go from here.  I don't know what might
get screwed up if I overwrite modules.isapnpmap or /usr/bin/nm.  I'm also not
even certain that updating alsa would fix the sound problem.  If necessary, I
could just live without sound until 1.0.14 makes it to etch.

Thanks.

[Alsa-user] Recording sound from web video

2007-02-25 Thread Phil Rhoades
People,

I have FC6:

alsa-utils-1.0.13-1.fc6

on a Soltek PC with /etc/sysconfig/hwconf:

class: AUDIO

subVendorId: 414c
subDeviceId: 4720

I am trying to record video/sound with xvidcap from:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/mos/skydiver.html?in_article_id=435694&in_page_id=1990&in_a_source=

The only way I can record sound is by plugging the audio out into the
mike
socket.

I was told that I should be able to use PCM in capture mode but
PCM only appears on the Playback settings.  For the Capture settings
there is a control called "Capture" which is at 100%.  It is also
possible to put the cursor on this control and push SPACE which puts an
"L" and "R" on either side of the control and the word "CAPTUR" directly
underneath.  None of these options recorded sound.

I went looking for more detailed info about alsamixer (specifically the
individual controls) but couldn't find too much . .

Suggestions?

Thanks,

Phil.

[Alsa-user] Gina24 install problems

2007-02-25 Thread bajongo
oops, sorry. Last time I sent the email accidently too early. :-) So, here the 
(hopefully) complete email.:

Hi,

I am trying to install my Gina24 on opensuse10.2 with this installation howto:

http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=Echo+Digital+Audio+Corporation&card=Gina24.&chip=Motorola+56301+or+56361%2C+FPGA&module=gina24

but I don't get it done.

As root I check

   modinfo soundcore

and it returns

filename:   /lib/modules/2.6.18.2-34-default/kernel/sound/soundcore.ko
description:Core sound module
author: Alan Cox
license:GPL
alias:  char-major-14-*
vermagic:   2.6.18.2-34-default SMP mod_unload 586 REGPARM gcc-4.1
supported:  yes
depends:
srcversion: 69B73D502EF87CE567454E1

which I think is OK, right?


Next section is Quick install. I did these things:

"
In a shell type these commands:

Make a directory to store the alsa source code in.

cd /usr/src
mkdir alsa
cd alsa
cp /downloads/alsa-* .

Now unzip and install the alsa-driver package

bunzip2 alsa-driver-xxx
tar -xf alsa-driver-xxx
cd alsa-driver-xxx
./configure --with-cards=gina24 --with-sequencer=yes;make;make install
"

and got many error messages.  So I typed

./configure --with-cards=gina24 --with-sequencer=yes

and it looks OK to me. Nothing looks to me like an error there.

Then I type "make" and get this:

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/fritzman/alsa/alsa-driver-1.0.9rc4a/acore'
make[1]: *** Keine Regel vorhanden, um das Target 
»/home/fritzman/ALSA/alsa-driver-1.0.9rc4a/include/sound/driver.h«,
  benötigt von »hpetimer.o«, zu erstellen.  Schluss.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/fritzman/alsa/alsa-driver-1.0.9rc4a/acore'
make: *** [compile] Fehler 1

and then I'm stuck as I don't know what this should tell me.


Would you please help me get the Gina24 installed?


Thanx a lot, FRitz
