There is no scale there.
It can have a range of value between 0 and 65536
32768 being about 50% of 65536.

Now, the ALSA mixer has been improved, and we can now report gain
levels instead of these mostly meaningless percentage values.
Try running alsamixer, it will show dB values for each mixer control
if the driver has been updated to report the information.
So, 0 dB means leave the signal as is
-X dB means attenuate the signal by X db
X db means gain the signal by X db

Now that we have these dB gain levels, we could potentially set all
mixer controls to 0dB, i.e. not gain and not attenuation, with only
the master output control being set to a lower value so as to avoid
ears breaking.

 Hi Peter. Your lsmod looks ok, and from your previous post /proc/asound/cards 
 only shows one soundcard, so it's not like you have problems like I have, 
 with also having a usb midi keyboard plugged in when booting. That said I 
 know the workaround for that, so it's no problem for me.

 I have a bunch of distros installed, and have just booted up Kubuntu (Dapper, 
 upgraded from Breezy). Which Ubuntu version are you using?

 I have an Audigy2 soundblaster (emu10k1) , so the card is more or less the 
 same as yours. I can't remember if there were any problems with getting the 
 sounds working though. I'm puzzled why you have no alsamixer, when trying to 
 start it on the CLI. The 3 Alsa packages that should be installed are 
 alsa-base, alsa-utils, and libasound2. Alsa-utils contains the alsamixer, 
 amongst other stuff.

 I looked back through my history files to see what I installed post 
 installing 
 Kubuntu. The only 2 relevant packages are alsa-oss, and dialog, but I don't 
 think alsamixer uses dialog to display itself. I think it uses ncurses. it 
 may be worth a look to see if you have the dialog, and ncurses packages 
 installed. For ncurses, the packages are ncurses-base, and ncurses-bin.

 Also have a look in /var/lib/alsa. The mixer settings are saved in a file 
 named asound.state. The file should exist for alsamixer to display the 
 settings.

 The commands alsactl restore, and alsactl store, are the ones to use to 
 restore, and store mixer settings if the asound.state file exists 
 in /var/lib/alsa

 Can't think of anything else to look for at the moment.

 Nigel.

 btw. From googling, a saw problems with sound on Gutsy Gibbon, but IIRC, they 
 were to do with hda-intel based soundcards.

 Nigel,

 Thanks for this. I've looked at the modules and the only one that's missing
 is dialog. It seems that this is to make it easy to write scripts which put
 up dialogue boxes, so I wouldn't have thought that aplay would give an
 error message about not being able to find the default device if the
 module's missing. Of course, error messages and their causes aren't always
 correlated too well.

 /var/lib/alsa contains asound.state and nothing else. I've no idea
 asound.state is meant to contain, so I'm attaching it (assuming that this
 email system allows attachments) in case it's of use. It's a bit long to
 include in the text.

Ok. Nice to see you have an asound.state. When you installed Gutsy Gibbon, 
this asound.state file was created, and contains the default mixer settings 
for alsa, and usually the sounds are muted for the sake of your ears.

I use KDE, so would then open a Konsole (CLI) , and type alsamixer as user, 
and can unmute controls, set slider levels, and so on. Same goes I presume, 
if you use Gnome.

Now it has been suggested to me in the past if I can't get access to 
alsamixer, to remove/rename the asound.state file which may be faulty.

I'd suggest renaming asound.state to something like asound.state.old, then 
reboot, and a new asound.state will be created, then, depending on which 
desktop you are using, open a terminal/konsole, and type alsamixer. Does 
alsamixer now open?

 I also have a USB sound card which I originally tried attaching - got a bit
 further with it in that I was able to play but not record (which is what I
 want to use it for). But then I removed it so as not to confuse things, and
 reloaded Alsa to get a clean system.

 As a matter of interest, does anyone directly connected with the Alsa
 project ever reply to queries here, or is it just users? The half-sighted
 leading the blind as it were.

Alsa developers do read the alsa-user postings, and regularly reply to users 
queries. I'm just a user, but try to help if I can.

Just trying to help.

Hi Takashi,

I'm sorry, please explain what is the HG version.

Is there anyway (log?) where I can find the model detected by Alsa? I'm
guessing the model may be added to future versions of Alsa to prevent
falling back to the BIOS?

I have the sound system integrated on my Asus P5GC-MX/1333 motherboard.

Lee,

are you aware of any problems in 1.015? you seem to be sure that an 
upgrade to
1.0.16 could fix this issue?
   
   1.0.16 may still have a bug.  I applied some fixes for recording
   problems on ALC codecs after 1.0.16, so better to try HG version as a
   first step.

Re: [Alsa-user] hda_intel no microphone

2008-03-03 Thread phil lemelin
I had a similar problem with my HDA-INTEL card.

Tweaking my modprobe did the trick :

I only had :

alias sound-slot-0 snd_hda_intel


And I changed my modprobe so it looked like that :

alias sound-slot-0 snd_hda_intel
options snd_hda_intel index=0 model=auto


For some reasons, it looks like auto is not the default model. Tested on
mandriva-2008 with alsa 1.0.14 and 1.0.16 and on Ubuntu 7.10, Alsa 1.0.14.

 Hi Takashi,

 I'm sorry, please explain what is the HG version.

 Is there anyway (log?) where I can find the model detected by Alsa? I'm
 guessing the model may be added to future versions of Alsa to prevent
 falling back to the BIOS?

 I have the sound system integrated on my Asus P5GC-MX/1333 motherboard.

 Thanks,

 Ferry

[Alsa-user] vu meter?!#$!

2008-03-03 Thread MK

i occasionally record thru the mic jack using sox or arecord.  I would  
prefer to avoid using fat GUI apps like audacity (which is great, but)  
to perform this simple task; at the same time getting the levels right  
makes me feel that i should tune engines by remote wearing a blindfold  
(eventually it will work perfectly :)

SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME THAT 2008 IS THE YEAR WHEN I DISCOVER THE SECRET  
ALSA VU METER!

If i have to learn c programming myself it will happen.  But if anyone  
understands what essential problem i refer to and (better yet) knows  
the solution let me know.

Or maybe there is a more specialized app than audacity for this, i  
could not find one on the web.  PLEASE.

arecord -vvv has a crude level meter.

Really this should be provided by the recording app.  It's surprising
that the GNOME sound recorder lacks a level meter.

KDE's krecord is fairly small and shows recording levels.
