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.

Peter 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. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

On Monday 03 March 2008 18:12, Peter Toye wrote: 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. Nigel.

Re: [Alsa-user] hda_intel no microphone
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.

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. Takashi - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[Alsa-user] vu meter?!#$!
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. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Really this should be provided by the recording app. It's surprising that the GNOME sound recorder lacks a level meter. Lee - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
