Sounds like you're trying to use the 0.5 utils and library with the 0.9 modules (or, 
of course, the other way around... which modules do you have loaded?)

Make sure you've got the 0.9 modules, libs and utils all installed.

That was my thought, too.. but I have all three 0.9 installed. the only
problem it could appened was to compile the library with the 0.5 modules
loaded.

Perhaps it's that your old 0.5 library is still on the system and things
are linking to it...

Have a look in /usr/lib for libasound.* and see what's there, and then
do "ldd `which alsamixer`" to see which library version your utils
have compiled against.

You might want to try the following:
Build and install alsa-lib 0.9
Run "ldconfig"
Unpack the alsa-util 0.9 source afresh (or "make distclean" in the current
one if it works), then build and install that.

The device_mode module option is not available when your kernel doesn't
use devfs. You can delete this option from your modules.conf, or simply
ignore the warning.

What documentation were you reading that said to create an .asoundrc

Anyway try a newer ALSA version, 1.0.9 is very old.

It's the latest version! The site I downloaded the drivers from is:

www.alsa-project.org

and there is also a complete documentation. The page about the .asoundrc 
file is:


http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=Intel&card=ICH+southbridge+AC97+audio.&chip=440MX%2C+i810%2C+i810E%2C+i820%2C+ICH4%2C+ICH5%2C+ICH6&module=intel8x0

Am I wrong? There is a newer project site? Thank you!

It's the latest version! The site I downloaded the drivers from is:

   



The latest development version on that site is 1.0.11-rc2 and the latest
stable version is 1.0.10.  You are currently using 1.0.9:

So, how end users are supposed to learn about ALSA ?

If something exists for general public, but general public
has no way of knowing it, what's the use of that potentially
useful thing ?

Maybe ALSA project site should contain clearly visible

Ignore the documentation, ask alsa-user@lists.sourceforge.net first

warning on the main page ?

This means you compiled ALSA against the wrong kernel version or did not
unload all the old ALSA modules before reloading them.  Try just
rebooting.

To fix the documentation is the best way.

Who is deciding to do this ?

Who of the developers is supposed to do this ?

Anyway, I suggested what from experience seemed more
realistic.

Hi guys,
this is my first post in this mailing list. I've got a problem using 
ALSA: I've installed tho sources following the documentation 
step-by-step. That's OK, but when I try to run aplay here's what happen:




 

  

   


What documentation were you reading that said to create an .asoundrc
file?  It's wrong.

Anyway try a newer ALSA version, 1.0.9 is very old.

Lee


   



 


It's the latest version! The site I downloaded the drivers from is:

 

  

   


The latest development version on that site is 1.0.11-rc2 and the latest
stable version is 1.0.10.  You are currently using 1.0.9:

- Sound Driver: 3.8.1a-980706 (ALSA v1.0.9 emulation code)

Try 1.0.11-rc2.

Lee






 

I cannot find that version. Could you post me an URL, please? I 
downloaded it from:


ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/
  

   


ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.11rc2.tar.bz2

Lee




 

Ok, I'll try. And what about the .asoundrc file? You said it isn't 
correct, is it? Could you post me a correct file? Thanx


   



You don't need one at all.  The docs on that page are out of date.

Lee


 


I've got this error:

Which docs are you refering to. If they are on the ALSA web site, I can 
fix them.

Just tell me what to fix.

You probably only have a card 0.

try:

You should get sound noise on your speakers, matching the "Front

Do you have an .asoundrc?  If so delete it.

Did you modify /etc/modules.conf (or any of the bizarre non-standard rat
maze of /etc/modules* garbage that Linux distros expect users to make
sense of)?  If so then restore those files to their original state.

This one is wrong too:

http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=ESS
+Technology&card=.&chip=ES18xx&module=es18xx

It refers to snd-pcm1-oss which does not exist.  And, like all the pages
it tells the user to create an .asoundrc for no good reason.

Anything that tells users to set up an .asoundrc to have dmix work.

IMHO you should also delete all the old user comments as they are rife

No, no and no!!! It doesn't work! I restore my old /etc/modules.conf 
file, I delete /etc/modutils/alsa file and I don't have .asoundrc file 
anymore. But the result is:


$ aplay test.wav

aplay: main:547: audio open error: Invalid argument

It doesn't work anyway! It says "could not open control for card 1", but 
my card is card 0. How can I set card 0 as default card?

Any suggestions? I post my /etc/modules.conf file:

I've been asking many times anyone to volunteer maintaining ALSA web
pages.  But no one replied until now...

Re: [Alsa-user] Alsa problems

[Sergei Steshenko]

Regarding

"
So, would you suggest Linus to maintain a dedicated web site for
Linux? :)
"

- yes, I would.

I just know that I was responsible for the documentation fro the code
I wrote, so why shouldn't he be responsible for his code and
documentation on it too ?

And "the central linux site" (whatever it is) may be organized in such
a manner:

 -> /main.html

/Linus_Torvalds/
/Andrew_Morton/
/Alan_Cox
...
/Jaroslav_Kysela
/Takashi_Iwai

and the the main page (main.html) may be organized in a manner there
are links on it to the corresponding files

greatest_and_latest.html

under the developers' directories, e.g.

/Linus_Torvalds/greatest_and_latest.html
/Andrew_Morton/greatest_and_latest.html
...
/Jaroslav_Kysela/greatest_and_latest.html
/Takashi_Iwai/greatest_and_latest.html

and the developers will just update their

greatest_and_latest.html

files.

The developers' directories can be owned by their respective
developers, so each will be able to screw up only his/her stuff.

IMHO, from programming point of view things should be organized in
a manner which requires the least possible interaction between
people.

But the above means people should interact a lot to work out
a mutually acceptable solution.

the current PCI memory allocation on 2.4 kernels uses always atomic
operation, so this might cause a problem, since the emu10k1 driver
allocates its buffers dynamically unlike other drivers.

could you try the attached patch?
if it works for you, please let me know.

[Justin Zygmont]

thanks for the link, but it doesn't say how to do anything that the alsa 
docs didn't.  There should also be no need to recompile a new kernel if 
you don't even need to, most people wouldn't do that.

Try recording to a file using say arecord, and then look at the file with
for example audacity and look at the "click". Is it a dropout (ie a brief
zero in the recording) a loss of data or what does it look like.

OK, this is weird. The "click" is smooth, and extends over about 20 time
steps. It also has ringing associated. Are you sure that you are not doing
frequency interpolations? Ie recording the thing at 4KHz and then
extrapolating to 44100? Ie, this waveform looks very processed. 
It is really hard to imagine that alsa could have produced it due to some
bug.

Hi all,

I have reported this problem before, but I decided to start from scratch and
re-install my RHAS2.1 and apply all patches.
I then tried to install the alsa-0.9.4 drivers, lib, and utils.

When configuring the driver, I used:
--with-cards=all --with-oss=yes --with-seq=yes
the configuration and make/install of the driver lib and utils all worked
fine.
I ran snddevices and it looks good.
THe problem i have is that when I run
alsasound restart, I get the following output:

When you ran ./configure, did you use the option "--with-kernel" to point

Don,

I confess that I don't have a solution -- perhaps someone else on the list 
has an idea? However, I see two red flags:


checking for GCC version... Kernel compiler:  Used compiler: 2.96

*** NO PREDEFINED KERNEL COMPILER IS DETECTED
*** Assuming the same compiler is used with the current system compiler.
*** Please make sure that the same compiler version was used for building
kernel.


2.96 is a bit old as a compiler. If you're getting your kernel as binaries, 
I wouldn't be surprised to learn that they're on gcc 3.2 or so. This can 
introduce problems with incompatible symbols.

On the other hand, I see that my current Debian kernel was compiled using 
2.95.4. This information is in a file you seem to be missing, the 
"compile.h" file, see below.

The second question is

configure:2677:61: /usr/src/linux-2.4.9-e.12/include/linux/compile.h: No
such file or directory
There were a few of these compile failures, and I simply don't know if they 
are serious or not.
