[Alsa-user] 2 card question
Greetings; 1st card is an ac97 compat nvidia in an nforce2, onboard 2nd card is an SBLive/Audigy 24 bit, aka a snd_ca0106, just installed. Modules are built and loaded. Alsa is amixer -v=1.0.4, kernel is 2.6.15. Install is heavily hacked FC2 with all updates that apply. Kmix from kde-3.3.0 doesn't show anything in the input tab screen when the SBLive is selected. The output screen is normally populated. System sounds, such as the splash when there is incoming mail have gone mute, presumably because they are now being routed to the SBLive which ATM has no speakers connected. The intention is to use the onboard ac97 getup for Skype, and the SBLive/Audigy 24 bitter for everything else. Where can I find suitable docs to tell me howto do this? Or is there a gui of sorts to do all this included with alsa-1.0.4 that I don't know about? -- Cheers, Gene People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should append the word 'online' after the 'verizon' and before the dot, which bypasses vz's stupid bounce euro rules. I do use spamassassin too. :-) Yahoo.com and AOL/TW attorneys please note, additions to the above message by Gene Heskett are: Copyright 2005 by Maurice Eugene Heskett, all rights reserved. --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

You probably need to upgrade as the CA0106 didn't exist when ALSA 1.0.4 was released, and each ALSA driver requires a userspace and kernel component.

According to the dirname in /usr/src/alsa, its 1.0.4. But according to yumi, its 1.0.3-2 or thereabouts, rather jurassic. :) So went looking to see if there may have been a one piece download of later stuff, but that appears to not be available in a packaged tar.bz2 format. I found some things which may be daily snapshots of the cvs, but the latest of those didn't unpack to something that looked as if it had configure scripts in it, certainly not a one step overall builder. Just do: cvs co . ./build prep ./build all etc Don't bother with checking out alsa-kernel, alsa-driver, etc separately. Also isn't there an updated alsa-lib package for FC2? It seems like they would maintain one in their updates tree. It's needed to support newer hardware. Have you considered upgrading to FC4 which supports your hardware OOTB?

I found some things which may be daily snapshots of the cvs, but the latest of those didn't unpack to something that looked as if it had configure scripts in it, certainly not a one step overall builder. So I followed the cvs checkout instructions to get todays, the README.CVS didn't get right to the point, so I executed the build --help, which seems to say that a build all should do it. But that bombed out because the alsa-kernel tree, with version.h seemed to be missing. So next executed it with the prep option, which seems to have worked. Now, rather than having things scattered, I'd like to have an rpm package that an rmp -Uvh will install, so whats the next step, just proceed in the order the --help spits out? And, I'd druther not touch whats in the kernel since the kernel is 2.6.15 and should be up2date vis-a-vis its alsa drivers AND I don't want to rebuild this to match each new kernel that comes out weekly, is there a way to build everything else in a compatible way? In other words, how do I proceed from here, haveing executed the sh ./build prep sequence, to build an installable rpm containing the latest versions of everything not actually in the kernel tree as of 2.6.15? And since I'm doing this as root, how should I set the perms right now, so that normal users can use this? Currently stopped and awaiting orders.

You probably need to upgrade as the CA0106 didn't exist when ALSA 1.0.4 was released, and each ALSA driver requires a userspace and kernel component. Personally I recommend to avoid the CA0106 devices - it's vastly inferior to the old EMU10K1 and EMU10K2 devices which had hardware mixing and DSP, and only a few dollars cheaper. The CA0106 devices are to a real SBLive! what a Winmodem is to a hardware modem. It might be easier to exchange it for an Audigy2 Value... Lee --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
