Just needed to stop the pulseaudio applet.

And (playing around in the dark ) I now have sound... though I'm
unsure how it came about.

In bios I changed to the more complex sound source
Selected that using pulseaudio.

Rhythmbox is still not working - seems to play at n times real time,
with no sound output.

Amorak is working though (except  for the database)
and playing .ogg files (not mp3).

utube still has no sound.


I guess there's still something sadly amiss.

(but I can listen to music now!)

It's an Asus p5Q Pro motherboard.
$ cat /proc/asound/cards
 0 [HDMI   ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI HDMI
  HDA ATI HDMI at 0xfe8fc000 irq 17

I'm using the analogue outputs from the back to speakers.



The other 'clue' (weak debug info) is, from the pulseadio applet,
select the 'volume control' and I get the pop up
'connection failed' connection refused.
Though it fails to say what connection or what I can do about it!

What I'd *like* is some incremental way of installing packages and
checking sound as each bit

What I currently see is:

running (shell) alsa-mixer instead of an array of controls I'm
seeing a single (central) 'IEC958' box, with no controls.

any help appreciated.

Much discussion on the Fedora forum lists, but nothing that's
helped me.

[Alsa-user] Thinkpad T21 - Failure waiting for fifo command to complete

2008-04-15 Thread Dave Wood
ALSA
/tmp/alsa-driver-1.0.16-src-1/pci/cs46xx/../../alsa-kernel/pci/cs46xx/cs46xx_lib.c:428:
cs46xx: failure waiting for FIFO command to complete

I get this error on boot up and also had a problem with no /dev/dsp

I can manually modprobe snd-pcm-oss to solve the dsp problem, but I
wondered if there was a connection with the failure error?

My /etc/modprobe.d/sound looks like:

options snd-cs46xx thinkpad=1 index=0
alias snd-card-0 snd-cs46xx
alias sound-slot-0 snd-cs46xx

Everything seems to work now but I would like to solve the error message if
possible.

Any ideas?
Cheers

Re: [Alsa-user] Kenwood USB device on Ubuntu Feisty

Alsa Users,

Sorry to follow up on my own post, but I thought this might be relevant too.

When I type in "asoundconf list", I get this:

I82801DBICH4
Device

Those look like strange designations for sound cards. Is this in any way 
a symptom of the problem?

2007-04-21 Thread Dave M G
Frank,

Thank you for responding.

> what do you get, if you do "aplay -Dplughw:1 somefile.wav"
It says:
$ aplay -Dplughw:1 test.wav
Playing WAVE 'test.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo

However, I get no sound from my device.

> If you don't get sound, then maybe there's some error message in

/var/log/syslog didn't have anything sound related.

The only thing I could determine was sound related in /var/log/messages was:

Apr 22 08:50:56 media-server kernel: [   22.092393] EISA: Probing bus 0 
at eisa.0
Apr 22 08:50:56 media-server kernel: [   22.092430] EISA: Detected 0 cards.

Detecting 0 cards probably isn't good. But I didn't see anything that 
clearly said anything about USB, sound, or ALSA.

Is there something else I can try?

[Alsa-user] Kenwood USB device on Ubuntu Feisty

2007-04-21 Thread Dave M G
ALSA Users,

I've come here to this list because my situation seems to be beyond the 
help of the Ubuntu Users list and my local Linux user's group.

I've got a Kenwood USB audio device, which, to my amazement, was 
automatically detected and worked great with my first install of Ubuntu. 
That was about a year and a half ago and the Ubuntu version was Dapper. 
There was sometimes a little confusion between the motherboard's onboard 
sound card and the USB device. But

Recently, a friend gave me an older computer, a decent Pentium 4 that I 
thought I would convert into a MythTV box. It would be great, I thought, 
to use my Kenwood USB audio and have full digital sound.

But this time, when I installed Fiesty, things don't work very well.

The Kenwood USB device seems to be detected. But there's just no sound.

When I type in "alsamixer", it says:
Card: Kenwood Audio Device
Chip: USB Mixer
View: [Playback]

The PCM levels are unmuted, and maxed up to the top of the volume bars.

But no matter what I do, I hear no sound. I've double checked the cables 
are plugged in. All other USB devices are working on this computer, and 
the Kenwood works on the original computer. But I don't get the login or 
logout music, nor do I get any sound when playing any audio or video files.

I've checked out this web page for trouble shooting:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting

And I've tried to follow its instructions. I wiped out and reinstalled 
the whole ALSA base drivers. I've checked that "modinfo soundcore" 
returns results.

aplay -l lists the Kenwood audio device (*1). However, lspci -v seems to 
only list the motherboard's onboard audio (*2).

Lastly, when I go to "Preferences->Sound Preferences", and I select "USB 
Audio" under "Sound Playback", I get this error:
audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! 
gconfaudiosink: Resource busy or not available.

I'm confused as to why this worked so smoothly before, and so poorly now.

More importantly, is there anything else I can do to diagnose this 
problem and fix it?

Thank you for any advice or help.

Here is the detailed output of what I referenced above:

[Alsa-user] SiS 7019

Is anyone aware of any work being done to support the SiS 7019
chipset?  I was able to find this post, but it is quite old.
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=17763958

Unfortunately I don' t know how  to do the port to ALSA from the drive
rmentioned, or I would try to help.  I do have hardware and would do
my best to assist in the development.  There is OSS support for the
chipset, but I would much arather ALSA.

Any input would be appreciated.

I'm curious - why are you doing so much work to abandon debian apt?

The real changes with that chip (at least for me) have been with
ALSA's kernel modules - fortunately the new drivers are available in
Andrew Morton's -mm series of patches for the latest kernel - if
you're familiar with kernel compilation procedures on Suse, pop over
to the Linux Kernel Archives, download a 2.6.19 kernel, patch it to
2.6.20rc4 (5 now?), and apply Andrew Morton's ALSA-git patch broken out of
the -mm repository.  Configure, compile, install, and reboot to it.

If you haven't learned yet how to compile a kernel, now's a good time
to learn.  As to the userland software, in my case I haven't bothered
to build for my distro yet as I haven't really needed it on this
laptop.  I'm sure there are improvements there, as well, but first you
need to get the kernel right IMHO.

Ciao,

Dave

[Alsa-user] ASUS Z70va line input problem

2006-12-26 Thread Dave Platt
Howdy, all.  I've been having a problem with audio on my
Asus Z70Va (a.k.a. M6Va, a.k.a Chembook 2370Va) which has
me pulling out what little hair I have left.  Most of
the audio is working, but one aspect of it is not.

I'm running ALSA 1.0.13 on a 2.6.19 kernel.  The ALSA
modules are being loaded without any specific options
(the codec modules doesn't appear to have a configuration
for this particular model).  The codec is indicated to be
an ALC880.

Audio output works fine, both through the internal speakers
and to a headphone plugged into the case-side output jack.

The built-in microphone works.  It seems to pick up quite a
bit of ambient noise (e.g. from the laptop fans) but that's
only to be expected, I suppose.

However, if I plug a standard line-level audio source into
the side-panel input jack (which has a microphone icon printed
by it), the input works very badly.  The problem I see is an
interesting one.  In both the audio mix (if I unmute and
turn up the "Line" mixer input) and in the capture input
(if I set the capture-1 input to "line" and enable it at
a reasonable level), I can get reasonable audio quality only
if the input level, and the internal mixer settings are cranked
far, far down.

If I try to turn up the mixer to the point where the input
signal ought to be getting an audio signal of more than a
few percent of full-scale, things go all to heck.  I hear
a sharp static-like sound, which appears whenever the input
signal exceeds a low level.  If I do an audio capture, I
see a reasonable-looking waveform at low levels, but if the
waveform attempts to increase very far at all from the zero
line it starts exhibiting sharp transients (they look a bit
like the noise that dust on an LP record creates).

This does not appear to be a simple matter of clipping... the
waveform is not flat-topped.  Quite the opposite - it's as if
the waveform is spiking out of control when it tries to exceed
a given level.

The problem does not affect the built-in microphone... if I
whistle at it when capturing from it, the whistle signal rises
up cleanly above the background noise and does not exhibit any
sort of spiky noise.

The problem affects captures using both the native ALSA
interfaces, and via the OSS compatibility layer... and
as I said it also affects the input->mix->output path.
It does not appear to be an artifact of ALSA sample-
rate conversion - I've tried configuring ALSA to disable
SRC for the applications I'm using, and configuring those
applications to ask for the data at one of the codec's
native rates... and the problem persists.

I've tried experimenting with the codec module, loading it
with a "model=z71v" parameter as suggested by an article I
found via Google.  This model specification greatly changes
the number of mixer controls and inputs presented by the
driver, but it appears to have no effect on the noise problem...
I still get noise from this input.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?  Am I mistaken in my belief
that this laptop model _should_ be capable of accepting a
line-level input through the input jack if its input is
properly configured?  Do I need some other sort of model
specification to the codec driver (perhaps one not yet
actually supported) to configure this input correctly?

My current suspects are two:

[1] The codec driver is for some reason not configuring the
"line" channel correctly - wrong data format, perhaps -
and the incoming data is being misinterpreted whenever
the codec sends in data samples which don't fit properly
into an 8-bit value.

[2] My laptop's line input is physically broken, somehow,
and the signal is being corrupted in a strange way
before it's ever digitized by the codec.

Assistance or ideas would be greatly appreciated!  I
want to use this laptop for some ham-radio applications
(PSK31 and etc.) and can't do so until I can get the
sound-card input to work correctly.

[Alsa-user] No center out for OSS emulation

2006-06-03 Thread Dave D
Hello all,briefly, everything works great if I do this:
mplayer -ao alsa dvd://1 -channels 6
all audio channels work perfect.  However, when I do this:mplayer -ao oss dvd://1 -channe
ls 6I'm getting all channels (including LFE) except the center channel is
outputting either the left or right front speakers (not sure which one).The center channel is not tied to the center speaker.  The same issue exists on different distributions also
xine has the same issue if I use OSS as the driver... which tells me it's an alsa emulation issue, not mplayer.
I do notice that when I use the alsa driver (no emulation), the CPU utilization jumps up and I can't watchHDTV programming (which is why I care, btw)
I have a sound blaster audigy 2 ZS with the emu10k1 drivers with a2.6.16.11 kernel.  I only have the alsa drivers compiled with OSScompatibility (the depricated oss drivers are not enabled... nor should they be).
Anyone had similar issues?  Is there something in .asoundrc somewherethat might be screwy?Thanks,- Dave

[Alsa-user] snd_1968 - Diamond MX400 and SPDIF output

2006-05-02 Thread Big Wave Dave

All,

First... I'm a newbie to the list... sorry if I'm not following proper
protocol.  I CAN be taught.

I have a Diamond Multimedia Monster Sound MX400 soundcard.  It runs
great with the automatically chosen snd-es1968 driver.  This is also
the driver suggested on the ALSA Soundcard Matrix.

The problem...
This card has a coax/RCA SPDIF connector.  I have used this for
passing AC3/DD/DTS sound via Windows drivers... but am unable to
figure out how to get Linux to recognize it exists.  In my google
research I've found references to "IEC958" settings for ALSA.  It
seems to be typical to see this within alsamixer.  Unfortunately I am
not seeing this in my alsa mixer!?  It is probably not relevant, but I
think it is interesting the driver is "es1968", but lspci shows it is
a "es1978".  Perhaps this was a slight variation of the chipset, to
provide SPDIF support?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave

Which application is displaying the "fixing audio drift by..." ?
If it is xine, then that is quite normal, and you can ignore it.

 


   yes it is from xine this one, the content is DVB.


The xruns is quite a different error, and should not happen.
That would be a bug in the application.

 

   This comes from a VDR plugin called softdevice to decode DVB mpeg 
streams


The weird thing is that I had a kenwood av decoder that never had a 
problem with either application dolby digital cutting out (PCM is fine), 
the replacement Yamaha receiver decoder cuts out. (no the receiver is 
fine, as a standalone DVD player does not exibit this effect) What 
exactly causes this? incompatibility between the decoder and the sound 
card or the sound output from the app not right?

Recently without changing any thing regarding sound configuration on

intel_i8x0 driver in kernel 2.6.15 using alsa-lib/tools/headers

Analog controls are all there, and work, I try to use the spdif port and

my sp/dif receiver never goes into ac3 mode.  stays in PCM mode which works

If you run "iecset audio off" first does it work?

Does this card YMF744 Yamaha chip support AC3 passthrough  with alsa?  I 
tried many combinations of ways to get it to output Ac3, but all I ended

It apparently works in windows.   ac3dec and mplayer just output noise.

[Alsa-user] Alsaconf es18xx Mystery

2004-04-27 Thread Dave Williams
Hello Alsa Users -

I've discovered a strange situation on a machine I own.  It's an old
Compaq Presario 4505 that I received as a gift back in 98.  It was
running Win95 for a long time, but I finally decided to liberate it with
Slackware 9.1

The machine was built with the ES1887 Plug and Play Audiodrive, an old
ISAPnP legacy card that Alsa can operate via the snd-es18xx driver.  The
resources for the device are actually set in the BIOS, because as some
of you may remember Microsoft wasn't able to completely force
plug-and-play BIOS specifications on manufacturers where soundcards were
concerned.

I know some people will wonder why I'm bothering to work with this
machine, but I like it and enjoy the challenge.

The problem is this: The kernel (Slackware's standard 2.4.22) doesn't
recognize the card when it boots.  The command "insmod" fails.  And
"modprobe" says there's no such device.  This happens no matter how
carefully I specify the card options and parameters (which are in the
BIOS, remember, and there are no resource conflicts).

Now here's the mystery: I run alsaconf and tell it to probe for legacy
ISAPnP cards (specifically the es18xx) using any available DMAs and IRQs
and it fails.  BUT when I check with lsmod the module is installed and
it works correctly!  All the dependencies are available except for the
oss compatibility stuff, which I can install from there.

My question is: What is alsaconf doing that makes it successful in spite
of itself?  And how can I reproduce it?

I've been going over the alsaconf script and I just can't see the
secret.  Then again, I'm not especially good at reading shell scripts. 
I've searched Google and the archives and found occasional references to
similar problems with the module, but no explicit solutions.  Someone
mentioned recompiling the libraries in one thread, but shouldn't a
default kernel with a default alsa install be appropriately matched up? 
And after all, the card does end up working!

This is the last little hassle remaining before this machine is 100%, so
if anyone can figure out how alsaconf is installing my soundcard I will
be eternally grateful.

- Dave

Bob Ham's work just opens /dev/amdtp, instead of the
standard ALSA devices? That seems less than
wonderfull. Does standard IEEE1394 audio not have a
full a feature set as USB-AUDIO, or am I
misunderstanding the degree to which usb-audio fits
within the ALSA framework?

If I could get my hands on a device, I'd be happy to
try to whip up an equivalent ALSA driver. I'm actively
looking for kernel/driver hacking projects right now
anyway, and I have a laptop that's crying out for a
high performance (i.e., at least 24-bit/96KHz) audio
interface.

Does your fw rack not conform to the relevant
standards?

2004-01-23 Thread Dave Neuer
What about firewire-based units? I've seen several of
them and they seem quite a bit cheaper than the Edirol
UA-1000 (which goes for $600-$800 from what I can
tell).

I don't recall seeing anything like an ieee1394-audio
module in ALSA.

Nor I.  I found the available documentation often one or more of
scattered, out-of-date, or difficult.  I'd gladly work on new
documentation myself, only I never succeeded in getting a sound from
ALSA and my SBLive Value (see thread "Can't Get Started"), so I'm in no
position to contribute.  (I finally threw my hands up and built a
kernel with OSS, which, while unsophisticated, works for the simpler
things.)

[Alsa-user] Surround Sound - Part 2

2004-01-06 Thread Dave Hope
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hello all (again),
I was playing round with amixer yesterday and managed to get sound coming out 
of my front and rear speakers, how happy I was until I lost the settings..

Anyway, After running alsamixer again and fiddling around, I couldn't stumble 
across the same settings :/ However, after doing:

station:/home/dave # amixer set Master 74
Simple mixer control 'Master',0
  Capabilities: pvolume pswitch pswitch-joined
  Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
  Limits: Playback 0 - 31
  Front Left: Playback 31 [100%] [on]
  Front Right: Playback 31 [100%] [on]

I noticed that front-left and front-right are the only ones listed as capable 
anyway, does anyone know the settings for sound to come out the rear 
speakers.

SoundCard: Soundblaster 5.1 Digital!
Speakers: Logotech z640
Alsa: 0.9.6-66
Kernel: 2.4.21-144

Thanks,

Dave.

Mine is nothing but:

No.  Arts was running, so I killed it, but that made no difference.

Okay, new kernel with modular ALSA up and running.

Still no sound, mind you, and what looks like some new problems.  During
the boot, some messages went by apropos emu10k1 and devices, so I had a
look in /var/log/messages:
...
modprobe: FATAL: Module emu10k1 not found.
sound: Loading sound module (emu10k1) failed.
aumix:
sound: Loading mixer settings failed.
...

However, I see that it's aliased to snd-emu10k1, which I can indeed
install with modprobe.  Regarding the commands, see
http://dle.ascendant.ca/alsa_info2.txt .  Perhaps it's just a mixer
setting now.

Thanks,
Dave.

That's right.

I was wondering about that, as most of the documentation I've read is
very module-oriented.

> Also, do you see anything in the output of dmesg?

Oh yes, forgot about that.  The relevant lines appear to be:
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 0.9.7 (Thu Sep 25
19:16:36 2003 UTC). request_module: failed /sbin/modprobe -- snd-card-0.
error = -16 PCI: Found IRQ 10 for device :00:0b.0
PCI: Sharing IRQ 10 with :00:01.3
PCI: Sharing IRQ 10 with :00:01.2
ALSA device list:
  #0: Dummy 1
  #1: Virtual MIDI Card 1
  #2: Sound Blaster Live! (rev.8) at 0xdf00, irq 10

The second line of that is suspicious to me -- why would it be running
modprobe for a module that doesn't exist?

Thanks,
Dave.

Thanks for responding, Mark.  I've appended the output of lsmod to the
aforementioned webpage; it's very brief as my kernel is mostly
monolithic.  I have also put my modprobe.conf (the 2.6 equivalent of
modules.conf) at http://dle.ascendant.ca/modprobe.conf .  It was
generated by the modules.conf->modprobe.conf conversion utility that
comes with kernel 2.6's new module-init-tools package.  I admit to being
almost totally ignorant about the file's content.

Thanks, the "SB Live Analog/Digital Output Jack" option would not move up or 
down, but not did not have "[Off]" next to it like the other items whihc 
wouldn't. I also went and set "Wave Surround" to max. Still no go,

Sorry, forgot to mention,
Distro: SuSE9 - All updates applied.
Kernel: 2.4.21-144-athlon (havn't got the balls to compile a fresh 2.6.0 just 
yet)
ALSA: 0.9.6-66 (along with devel, tools and doc packages).

Thanks for the reply Jason,

Hello List,
Having got a lovely surround system for christmas I was slightly dissapointed 
to discover that sound would not come out my two rear speakers, but would out 
my front 3 and sub. I realise the information is extremely vague, but is this 
a known issue and if not, is there a remedy?

For those interested, I'm using s Soundblaster Live! 5.1 Digital and a set of 
Logitech Z-640 speakers.

Thanks, hope you all had a lovely Christmas,

[Alsa-user] Can't Get Started

2003-12-26 Thread Dave Edwards
Hello.

I built myself a new 2.6.0 kernel, incorporating ALSA and no OSS
drivers.  However, I can't get my system to produce any sound, despite
my best efforts.  I have read a handful of intro docs, and tried the
usual amixer commands.  Everything in /proc seems to indicate that ALSA
is loaded and available.  I believe the relevant files in /dev are as
they should be.

I wonder if anyone on this list can help me diagnose and fix this
problem?  Some info:
  * Mandrake-9.1
  * Creative Labs SB Live! Value (CT4832)
  * kernel 2.6.0 (monolithic, non-modular)
  * PIII processor

Thank you,
Dave.

You're losing me here. Isn't ALL of alsa-driver in the
kernel tree? If not, it's still neccessary to build
alsa-driver separately from the main kernel sources?

Separately, is the code in 1.0.0pre1 in -test9-bk24?

I have an onboard intel8x0, and I've seen messages
(from aplay, not oss) when trying to do 'aplay -D
plug:dmix somefile.wav' w/ no slave.pcm section for
samplerate conversion where it says "Can't convert
from 48KHz to 41KHz. And I know some of my installed
apps are accessing sound through OSS.

So I don't know if this indicates that this is my
problem.

Hi,

As a Gentoo user whose make.conf includes
-fomit-frame-pointer (gcc 3.3.2), I'd love it if you
could elaborate on that a little bit:

a) is this code also in the mainline kernel
(test9-bk*)?

b) any idea what would be required to fix it to allow
no frame pointer?

I just started experiencing oopsen yesterday after
installing -test9-bk24, using the older libs/utils
(0.98, I think). But I also put new hardware in (IEEE
1394 card) and added USB mouse support. I'm seeing
weird things on my earlier kernel version, too so it
could certainly be unrelated...

I'm a former Linux sysadmin, as well as a kernel
programmer, and I have to admit that I find ALSA one
of the most confusing aspects of the kernel/userland
system on Linux. I think that everyone on the list can
probably agree that the documentation is "suboptimal"
to say the least.

However, it's a free system. AFAICT, there are exactly
two people (Takashi & Jaroslav) PAID to do all of the
kernel stuff, all of the userland stuff etc.
Everything else is based on volunteer effort, and as
is always the case in OSS, most volunteers probably
want to focus on getting their card/app working.
That's why the wiki is such a valuable resource; it
gives people an *easy* way to quickly add whatever
knowledge/advice they've gained so that everyone can
take advantage of it.

Yes, it's a pain to search the wiki rather than have
one official "Everything You Could Ever Need to Know
About ALSA" document. But until someone steps up and
creates such a document -- and I am thinking about
doing something along those lines once I understand
ALSA a little better -- it's the best we've got.

Apple has about 5 hardware configurations they have to
support, and that probably entails only 2 sound
chipsets. Linux/ALSA supports scores of souncards on
multiple hardware PLATFORMS. There is no comparison of
the level of effort required to do what Apple does w/
the incredible amount of effort put in by the ALSA
team.

Also, notice how much more expensive your G5's are
than a standard PC setup? You PAY for that ease of
configuration/use. What did you pay for ALSA? Nothing.

Certainly, ALSA could use a nice GUI tool which would
handle common configuration of a few common
cards/chipsets. But ALSA is complex partly because it
is so flexible. ALSA supports simple stereo cards for
MP3 playing, and expensive oodles-of-channel cards at
cutting-edge low latencies for professional-level
sound recording. I would not trade it for a
12-foot-pile of G5's.

I don't mean to minimize anyone's frustration (believe
me; I've been frustrated w/ ALSA for months myself --
look at some of my past posts if you doubt it).

But rather than bitch at two hard-working guys and an
army of volunteers whose compensation for their ALSA
work is certainly not commensurate w/ the volume and
quality of the work which has been produced, try

a) helping;
b) providing constructive criticism or reasonable
suggestions;
c) PAYING someone to develop the features you need, or
d) choosing to use something else, quietly, and LEAVE
US ALONE.

Oh, and a "thank you" would probably be appreciated,
too.

Dave's 2 cents

[Alsa-user] PLEASE! Working configuration for Audiophile 2496

2003-09-15 Thread Dave Neuer
This is a heartfelt request for anyone who has
successfully used Alsa 0.9.6 w/ an M-Audio Audiophile
card under either kernel 2.4.21 or 2.6.0-test*, built
as modules.

/etc/modules.conf, .asoundrc, and any scripts to load
whatever config files need to be loaded, plus some
indication of how to use envy24control/arecord
successfully w/ the card.

I have seen several people like myself ask questions
about this on the list and get NO REPLY, even w/
detailed config info and error messages. The wiki
hasn't been very helpful, and I've managed to
eliminate a couple of my errors through doggedly
browsing the source ("oh, I can't play regular 16bit
WAV files because the card only supports S32LE sample
rate in alsa-kernel/pci/ice1712.c ..."). Now w/
'arecord -D hw:1,0 ..." I get "can't get channel
count" even if I pass in a number of channels w/ -c.

I built this dual Athlon machine and aquired this card
specifically to do digital audio recording, and after
2 months I'm not any closer to this goal.

If someone could take the time to thouroughly explain
this stuff to me I'd be HAPPY to write a set of
incredibly user-friendly and COMPREHENSIVE end-user
documentation.

Thanks,
Dave Neuer

Whoops.

It's there, but I forgot to post it. The beginning of
the sound section in /etc/modules.conf looks like:

# ALSA portion

# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore

Also, if I just load the icd-1712 driver and

Anyone know if this is just a configuration issue?

[Alsa-user] 2 cards, no working configs (ICH & ICE1712 & ALSA 0.9.5)

2003-07-23 Thread Dave Neuer
This is my second post regarding this, so I figured a
new thread was in order.

I have a Gigabyte GA-7DPX-DW+ mobo (dual Athlon MP) w/
onboard intel8x0 sound. It worked fine w/ ALSA 0.9.0
and kernel 2.4.20 (no ll or preempt patches).

I just added a M-Audio Delta Audiophile 2496 card, and
upgraded to kernel 2.4.21 w/ low-latency and preempt
patches.

Now, neither the snd-intel8x0 or snd-ice1712 modules
work.

If I load just the Intel module & snd-pcm-oss, I get
no errors until I try to play a sound. Sound through
OSS just doesn't occur, and 'aplay ' gives
the error message "aplay: set_params:787: Broken
configuration for this PCM: no configurations
available."

If I load just the ice-1712 module and snd-pcm-oss,
starting up gnome causes an error message to pop up
which says "Mixer device /dev/mixer has neither volume
nor PCM channels."

At this point, I have not a clue whether:
a) 0.9.5 is a buggy release for these two drivers;
b) using two cards in the same box doesn't work unless
you use the "multi" style config (where the cards are
'bonded' into one);
c) I have a problem w/ my configuration, or;
d) the kernel + patches are the problem

My .asoundrc looks like:

pcm.intel {
 type hw # Kernel PCM
 card 0 # Card name or number
 device 0 # Device number (default 0)
}
 
pcm.ice {
 type hw # Kernel PCM
 card 1 # Card name or number
 device 1 # Device number (default 0)
}
 
ctl.intel {
 type hw
 card 0
}
 
ctl.ice {
 type hw
 card 1
}


And my modules.conf section for sound looks like this:

alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
alias snd-card-1 snd-ice1712
options snd major=116 cards_limit=2
  
 
##  OSS/Free portion
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1
##
  
 
##  OSS/Free portion - card #1
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
  
 
# OSS/Free portion - card #2
alias sound-service-1-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-1-1 snd-seq-oss

alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm-oss
  
 
alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss
alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss

Also, I noticed that despite aliasing snd-card-0 to a
specific module, which ever card gets loaded first is
listed as 0 in /proc/asound/cards. Don't know if that
makes any difference.

I built this machine in large part to build a digital
audio workstation. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Re: [Alsa-user] intel8x0 + alsa0.9.5 = no sound - ME TOO

2003-07-22 Thread Dave Neuer
I have the same motherboard, plus a Delta Audiophile
2496, Gentoo system, kernel 2.4.21SMP w/ low-latency
and preempt patches, and ALSA 0.95(Gentoo -r2 ebuild).
I get the same error when modprobe-ing just the intel
driver. If I also load the Delta driver, I get "aplay:
set_params:787: Broken configuration for this PCM: no
configurations available" when I try to use the intel
driver to play (aplay -D hw:0,0 ...).

My .asoundrc is:

pcm.intel {
 type hw # Kernel PCM
 card 0 # Card name or number
 device 0 # Device number (default 0)
}
 
pcm.ice {
 type hw # Kernel PCM
 card 1 # Card name or number
 device 1 # Device number (default 0)
}
 
ctl.intel {
 type hw
 card 0
}
 
ctl.ice {
 type hw
 card 1
}

[Alsa-user] AZT1008, which driver?

2003-06-04 Thread Dave

 Hi, I'm tring to get alsa working, but I'm a bit of a hardware dummy :D

OSS worked sometime ago on this HPVectra. The search page doesnt work and
I dont see a listing for AZT1008. There is a line in modules.conf for
ad1848 and a bunch of other stuff left over from OSS. So I though I would 
try that, but I get...  
kernel: ALSA  ../../alsa-kernel/isa/ad1848/ad1848.c:80: specify port
kernel: AD1848 soundcard not found or device busy

 Should I try another driver?

[Alsa-user] Problem During configure

'checking for kernel version... The file
/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-lowlatency/include/linux/version.h does not

--includedir doesn't help because the file doesn't exist --  I've looked
for it.  Any clues?  (I'm working from the instructions at

'alsactl store' does save the levels, but they don't appear to be
auto-loaded next time: run 'alsactl restore' after boot up - I stuck
it at the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.local on a Mandrake setup.

Mandrake does put console.perms in the same place as RH - and it was the
culprit. Thanks.

Still don't know why it changed though - it used to be okay and _I've_
never seen this file before a mystery...

[Alsa-user] Sound device permissions problem

2003-02-06 Thread Dave Bentham
Hello,

Recently I've been having problems with the ownership/permissions of the
/dev/. I'm not sure how and when it started happening.

The devices take on the ownership of who logs on; eg if I log on, the
devices are setup as, for example,

crw----   1   dave   audio14,   3 ... /dev/dsp0

For me thats ok.

If I subsequently logoff, and my son logs on, they change ownership to
his logon.

Where this is particularly a pain is when I logon as 'root' to start X &
Gnome via gdm and logon that way, then the devices are set to 

crw   1   root   audio14,   3 ... /dev/dsp0

..and no sound comes out for anyone, 'cos no-ones got permission for
the devices.

However I manually change the permission setup (eg setting rw for the
'audio' group, to which every logon is assigned), they always get reset
to owner-only rw permission next boot-up.

This is Alsa 0.9rc6 on Mandrake 9.

Any help?

Thanks

Dave

[Alsa-user] Completely Removing ALSA?

2003-01-22 Thread Dave Hanna
Well, my attempts at using ALSA have spiraled down and down.  At this
point when I make/make install the drivers the snd.o module always has
dependency issues (See my last post: Module Problem - insmod snd.o
failed). So my question is this:  

How do I completely (as in everything) undo what ALSA has done to my
system? (make uninstall doesn't seem to do the trick) 

Any help would be great.

I'm trying to build the alsa driver for an old SB16 in a restrictive
environment (32MB old Pentium). 
After an apparently successful build, modprobe outputs:
/lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0/misc/snd-sb16-csp.o: unresolved symbol snd_hwdep_new_R94cddeae

I can't find that symbol anywhere.
This machine has NO cdrom support and this symbol seems to be connected
to CD support (?) .
Any assistance appreciated.

[Alsa-user] asound.conf pcm.tee, anyone know how to use it

2002-05-12 Thread Dave Andruczyk



Please someone correct me if I am mistaken.  Can the pcm.tee option in alsa.con
(/usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf) be setup so that the output of a program that uses
alsa natively be monitored by connecting to this "tee" ??

My primary app (eXtace) needs this sort of functionality, The old ALSA 0.5.x
called it loopback, can this do the same?  Can anyone offer tips for someone
who really doesn't understand the asound.conf syntax to possibly get it to
work?

Thanks for any input...

[Alsa-user] Q: RME 9652 no sound in or out

2002-05-03 Thread dave-mlist

I'm having problems getting sound into or out of my RME 9652.

For input, I'm connecting the toslink output of a DAT deck to the
ADAT1 input of the RME.  When I do arecord -f DAT this.wav, I get
nothing but zeroes.

For input, I'm connecting the toslink output the RME's ADAT1 to the
digital input of an Adcom preamp.  When I connect the DAT deck optical
out to the Adcom preamp digital in, I get beautiful music.  But when I
run aplay knowngood.wav, I get no sound.

I have tested the toslink cables, the digital output of the DAT deck,
and the digital input of the Adcom preamp, and all work fine.  When
I'm connecting the cables, I notice that there is laser light coming
out of the cable connected to the RME's ADAT1 output.

I am using the CVS version of ALSA checked out Wednesday, May 1,
2002.  I'm appending the following information in case it helps:

. output of uname -a
. output of cat /proc/interrupts
. output of cat /proc/devices
. output of cat /proc/asound/cards
. output of cat /proc/asound/card0/rme9652 
. output of lsmod before and after modprobe snd-rme9652
. error messages from alsaconf
. output of amixer -d controls
. output of aplay -L
. output of aplay -v yes__ive_seen_all_good_people__your_move.wav
. output of arecord -v -f dat this.wav
. error seen in /var/log/messages

I have scoured the FAQ, Usenet, and the web for solutions to this, but
I haven't found anything yet.  Since every third FAQ says that ALSA
comes with the mixers muted, that was the first thing I tried, but it
appears that the RME doesn't even have a mixer, and so there is no
muting or unmuting to do.  The alsaconf program returns a ton of
errors, and saves a file of zero length (whether I have the sound
modules loaded or not).  Can anyone point me to the appropriate
document?  Is there any other debugging information I can provide?

Thanks,
Dave

I have a test sequence I use to determine the playback efficiency of any
software sequencer. The sequence was composed on Voyetra's Sequencer
Plus Gold, it includes many very fast passages with near-simultaneous
note-ons, sustain pedal events, and tempo changes. The piece will play
perfectly in Sequencer Plus (naturally), even under DOSemu (!), and will
do almost as well played by MusE when routed to my external synth (a
Yamaha TX802). However, the EMU10K1 synth stalls on the "thick"
passages, and I have been told that this is a hardware problem. Since I
don't use Windows I can't verify the assertion, but has anyone else
noticed similar behavior with the SBLive running on another OS besides
Linux ?

[Alsa-user] Error when compiling ALSA (2.4.17 on 8KHA+ mb)

2002-01-09 Thread Dave Schreiber


First, here's my system: 
  
  Epox 8KHA+ motherboard (the audio support is by a VIA VT8233)
  Athlon 1700+ (not overclocked)
  256 MB Crucial non-ECC memory
  SuSE Linux 6.3 (but upgraded to kernel 2.4.17)

This is a recently upgraded SuSE Linux box system.  As there's apparently
no support in the kernel for the VT8233 yet, I've been trying to get ALSA
(0.5.12a) to build.  First, I run configure in the ALSA driver directory,
then do "make".  When it tries to compile sound_oss.c, I see the
following: 

  sound_oss.c:27: #error "Enable the OSS soundcore multiplexer 
  (CONFIG_SOUND) in the kernel."

But I turned on sound support when I built my kernel:  CONFIG_SOUND=y and
CONFIG_SOUND_OSS=y in my .config file (though I have not selected any
particular driver).  Can anyone give me any insight as to why this is
happening, and what I can do to fix it?  I've tried using kernel 2.4.14 as
well, but with the same results.

Thanks in advance.

There is no driver, snd-card-ens1730, its 1371,  did you type it wrong in the
email or in your file??

Have you tried playing a wave file with the native ALSA util, aplay?
Make sure you use alsamixer to both UNMUTE and raise the volumes of the
necessary channels (usually pcm and master)

can you show me the specifis of /dev/dsp. (do an ls -l /dev/dsp, or
/dev/sound/dsp.  )
I assume you box is devfs from your message. Is it mandrake 8.1 or something
else?

what version of ALSA, 0.5.x or 0.9.x, or CVS ?

[Alsa-user] Little known features and help docs for users on devfs systems

2001-12-30 Thread Dave Andruczyk


I managed to solve my own problem with my previous issues with ALSA on devfs.
I'm going to share them in case people have the same issues. (and they will on
devfs)

In /etc/init.d/alsasound (the alsa startup/shutdown script) there is a small
section that allows a user to have a little script run on startup to take care
of any issues that would always need to be done for whatever reason.

The snippet of code is
# run card-dependent scripts
  for i in $drivers; do
t=`echo $i | sed -e 's/snd-card-\(.*\)/\1/'`
if [ -x $alsascrdir/$t ]; then
  $alsascrdir/$t
fi
  done

$drivers in the script represents the snd-card-* lines in /etc/modules.conf
in my case it comes back with "snd-card-emu10k1"

$t from above is then equivalent to "emu10k1"


What it does is look for a file in /etc/alsa.d that is executable that is the
name of the DRIVER used for your card.  So on my box I use a SoundBlaster live.
The module is snd-card-emu10k1.  This script is looking for a file called
"emu10k1".  If it finds it it will run it when the alsasound script is called
with the "start" argument. (redhat/mdk sysVinit style systems.)  Others may use
a different script,  check your systems.

In that file I put in three simple lines:
modprobe snd-pcm-oss
modprobe snd-mixer-oss
modprobe snd-seq-oss

make sure the file (emu10k1 in my case) is executable (chmod +x emu10k1) and
its located in the /etc/alsa.d/  or in the place defined by the alsascrdir
variable in the alsasound script. My script defines it as:
alsascrdir=/etc/alsa.d

This takes care of getting OSS compat loaded every time alsa starts.

If you are NOT using devfs, then you can just reset the permissions of the
audio devices by hand with chmod/chown. (or use the ./snddevices script in the
alsa-driver source to do it for you)

Now permissions of OSS modules on devfs systems, is taken care of in
/etc/devfsd.conf  

There's two ways to do it, one is the Mandrake (and probably other vendors
ways)
# Vendor way 
REGISTER  sound/.*EXECUTE /sbin/pam_console_apply

This requires reading the man page for pam_console_apply ahnd making the
necessary adjustments to the files referenced in the man page.

Or the simpler (yet potentially less secure way)
REGISTERsound/.*PERMISSIONS root.audio 660
USER.GROUP MODE (rw,rw,no-access)

Make sure the user account that you run OSS audio apps is either root, or in
the audio group. (you could use any group name if you want)

I've found the second way easier to use and simpler for my usage situation, you
may have reasons to NOT do it this way.

The last is ALSA permissions.  These are controlled from modules.conf as
paramaters to the snd module as below.  The only thing I don't like is you have
to specify the uid/gid as NUMERIC, not string based.  (Thus I have to use 81
instead of "audio") Notes to developers: Is it too hard to make it accept the
string equivalent, since I doubt gid 81 is the audio group on all the various
linux distributions.

options snd snd_major=116 \
snd_cards_limit=1 \
snd_device_mode=0660 \
snd_device_gid=81 \
snd_device_uid=0

This makes all the /proc/asound/dev nodes owned by root.audio (audio is gid 81
on my box) at mode 660 (rw,rw,no access)

Hopefully this info will help new and seasoned users...

[Alsa-user] GUI for ALSA 0.9.0 beta10a redux

2001-12-11 Thread Dave Phillips

Greetings:

  I read the recent posts regarding a GUI for alsamixer and I
downloaded, built, and installed gamix as suggested. It's pretty neat, I
like the overall design, but it is very flaky and segfaults often. I
don't mind using alsamixer itself in an xterm, but I would like to have
more control over what's displayed (I have an SBLive, along with its
10,000 parameters ;). Anyone know of any other worthy mixer project that
works with beta10a ?

  Also, I would like to congratulate the ALSA team once more: zipper
noise and static starts are *gone*. With 0.5.12 I would still get noise
in XMMS when I started an MP3, and XMCD made a particular nasty noise
when I'd start playing a CD. The sound now is excellent, I'm very
impressed. 

Best regards,

where can i get info on these adcs?  i bought my card and mixer at the
same time so i just turn evrything up or mute it with envy24control.  i
can adjust the input levels using envy24control, though (i don't have it
set up currently to test it), and select +4dB and -10dB signal levels.  is
input gain boosting the signal, instead of just controlling how much of it
gets through?

there's a review on these three cards (plus a fourth unrelated card) in i
believe computer music (i saw it about a week ago at the store).  they
don't seem to be aware that the three cards are based on the same chip.
also, all three cards are about the same price (if you add midi to the
hoontech).  i read that the sound quality on the hoontech/staudio (same
company) is poor compared to the other two cards, plus it takes up two
slots (with the midi/digital card).

but what do you mean by software gain control?
i have the audiophile, and am very pleased with it.
