This device is not yet supported by ALSA.  You can wait for it to be
supported.

The upcoming ALSA 1.0.12 release will have improved support, but I still
don't think it will work yet.

  I've tried the drivers that came with kernel (2.6.17-gentoo-r4;

  I don't seem to have many mixer controls:

  Input: Capture (off, 0%); Capture Mux (on, 0%)
  Switches: IEC958 (off); Input Source (Front Mic)
  
  I've played with these setting to no avail.  Also, my notebook has an

  There's no sound from the headphones either.

 Greetings,
 
 I am trying to get our college radio station to do online streaming, and I

 sound card. It all works, but I need to run two different encoding programs,
 darkice for mp3 streaming, and realproducer for streaming to the college's
 helix server. Both work individually, but I can't get them to work at the
 same time, when darkice is encoding (live from soundcard) realproducer spits
 out the error:
 
 Error: Could not open audio device '/dev/dsp'
 
 
 When I run it. If I run realproducer first, darkice spits out the same
 error. How can I configure ALSA to allow multiple applications to tap into
 the sound cards inputs?

You'll have to use applications that support ALSA.  /dev/dsp is the
legacy OSS API and unless you have a hardware mixing soundcard, using it
blocks other applications from using the sound device, as ALSA's
software mixing layer is bypassed.

You might be able to run the OSS apps using the aoss wrapper but the
real solution is for your apps to support ALSA.

Yes, which is why I mention in-kernel OSS emulation.  Dmix only works
with user-space OSS emulation (the aoss wrapper), which does not work

 AFAIK the soundcard is supported by ALSA (via 8237): modules load
 without problem but do not print anything in dmesg. Then
 /proc/asound/cards says there're no soundcards.
 

Are you sure your soundcard is not disabled in the BIOS?  lspci does not
show any audio devices.

 Hi,
 
 I was wondering whether there is a function to get the list of pcm devices?
 It would be a list which the user could choose from.
 
 I've seen that if you run aplay -L you get it, but many of those pcm
 devices need arguments.
 
 aplay -L just calls snd_config_search(..., pcm, ...). Is there a way
 to get a restricted list of just the actual devices that can be used
 without arguments?

It's a known issue that ALSA has no usable device enumeration API.  As
far as I know no one is working on solving it.

What exactly do you mean by PCM devices need arguments?

 I have copied/pasted some .asoundrc examples from this mailing list, but find

 My alsa version is 1.0.9b.

ICE1712 has no hardware mixing, so this is the expected behavior with

Upgrade to a recent ALSA and software mixing (dmix) will be
automatically enabled for this card, but you'll have better results just
using JACK.

The term mixing is overloaded.  The device does have a hardware mixer
that allows one to set the levels of various input and output channels.
What it does not have is the ability to mix multiple audio streams from
different applications.

Replace hdc with sda or whatever the kernel calls your disk and repeat

It's still a bug IMHO if this is needed, but might make your system

Applications shouldn't use hw:0,0 anyway, it only supports one app
playing at a time, and will fail if the sample rate and format don't
exactly match the device's capabilities.

The correct solution is for apps to use the ALSA device default, and
for a userspace application (like gnome-sound-properties) to change the
default device when sound cards are plugged or unplugged or when the
user requests it.

There's no way to have apps that are playing audio when the device
changes to seamlessly switch to the other device though.

Well, you won't ever get true zero-copy with this device, because the

Re: [Alsa-user] [Alsa-devel] USB card @48kHz only: at what layer to resample?

 Thanks Markus and all for the replies.
 
 My problem is that STK does not seem able to see the alsa plugins.
 
 In other words, when one uses -say- aplay it is possible to specify what 
 device or plugin to use with the -D option, for example:
 -D plug:duplex
 as you suggest in the example.
 
 In the STK api for alsa I can only select one of the audio cards, in my case 
 I see the following 4:
 
 hw:I82801CAICH3,0
 hw:I82801CAICH3,1
 hw:U0x4710x311,0
 hw:Audio,0
 
 The first two seem to be related to the built-in laptop sound card (intel 
 chip based) (why 2 entries???)

Probably analog and SPDIF.

 , the third one is probably the mic input of the webcam and the last one is 
 my terratec.
 I can only select one of these by number (i.e. I can select 1, 2, 3 or 4)
 

This is an incorrect use of the ALSA API by STK (It doesn't help that
ALSA has no good device enumeration API).  It should allow you to choose
plughw:* devices, but it only lists hw:* devices.  This means that only
sample rates supported by the hardware can be chosen.

 If I try to open the last one at 44.1kHz I get: 
 RtApi: unable to open specified device(s) with given stream parameters:
 RtApiAlsa: error setting sample rate (44100) on device (hw:Audio,0): 
 Invalid argument.
 
 If I open it at 48kHz it is fine.
 
 In general, from the discussion I understand that the best (but probably long 
 term for me) solution is to change my code to work at 48kHz, but for now it's 
 really important to get the old code to work. 
 

You just need to patch STK to allow plughw devices to be used, or give
up and run at 48Khz.  There's no other solution.

 Does this make any sense?
 Any suggestions?

 Enrico

   Apologies in advance if I am asking a stupid question, I am quite new with

   issue at the application development level or at the alsa driver
   configuration level.
  
   I am developing an audio application using the CCRMA synthesis tool-kit
   (STK) in Fedora Core4 using alsa.  I recently bought a Terratec Aureon 5.1
   USB MKII card, because I needed to have better sound quality than what
   offered by my laptop.
  
   My understanding is that the usb card only works at 48kHz -- is this
   correct?
   I manage to get aplay to work using the following plugin in 
   /etc/asound.conf
   pcm.!default {
   type plug
   slave {
   pcm hw:2,0
   rate 48000
   }
   }
  
   However, in SKT I can enumerate the audio cards on my machine, but this 
   does
   not give me alsa plugins, only the audio cards.  If I try to open the 
   Aureon
   at 44.1kHz, I get an error saying rate not supported.
  
   Is there any way to have alsa handle the rate conversion for me?  
   Shouldn't
   or couldn't the driver take care of this?  (Was it my mistake in 
   installing
   the driver? I can post my /etc/modprobe.conf if it helps)
   Or is there any way to get STK to see the plugin?
  
   Thank you in advance,

 I have tried both mplayer and ac3dec to drive the card into decoding AC3

 think I have everything unmuted and at somewhere in the 2/3 volume
 range.  I have IEC958 Loop disabled/muted and Direct Recording Source

What hardware?  I think AC3 passthrough cannot work on Nvidia HDA
chipsets doe to proprietary undocumented hardware implementation.

Can you try the latest ALSA release?

 I _thought_ I'd asked the same question in regard to my newly installed 
 soundcard and was told about all the different programs which don't play 
 nicely with ALSA. However, I am running ALSA 1.0.9b and I WAS getting 
 multiple input via my cheap builtin motherboard soundcard. But, with the 
 new card (maudio audiophile 2496) I get only one application at a time. 
 Just like the OP on this thread.
 
 I think there is a minor config issue, but damned if I can figure out what.

You need a newer version than 1.0.9b to get automatic mixing with that
card.

 Okay. But since the OP did not mention a specific sound card I assumed
 that you meant that mixing didn't work until 1.0.9 ... and that it did
 on 1.0.9 and later. I guess the part that I don't get is why the card 
 would make a difference ... doesn't alsa just take multiple inputs
 from the sound port and mix them and then output to the card? After
 all, isn't that what a software abstraction layer is for? 

The card matters because some devices handle this mixing themselves, and
it would be inefficient for ALSA to do it also in software.  So ALSA
needs to know which cards lack hardware mixing support.

This was enabled for most cards in 1.0.9 but the ICE1712 and ICE1724
were overlooked.

 They don't. SATA causes audio dropouts on some systems because its fast
 enough to starve the audio device of regular enough access to the PCI
 bus. If that is a problem the audio device should be tuning PCI
 latencies
 

OK.  In fact the Windows driver and IIRC the OSS driver do tune PCI
latencies.  But that can't be the problem here if analog playback is
unaffected.  Sounds like electrical noise could be the issue...

No idea.  Maybe SPDIF playback is more sensitive to timing glitches.
But the problem must be in the SATA driver not the emu10k1 driver.

 Yes, it is a problem with Linux that one cannot specify the order in which
 Linux specifies things like soundcards, disk drives, ethernet cards,
 It tends to depend on the random events during bootup.
 

This is not a problem with Linux.  ALSA supports addressing devices by
name.  Applications that rely on a specific card order are broken.

Fix the apps, problem solved.

parameters.  Look at gnome-sound-properties, which sets the default card
by changing the definition in the user's ALSA config file.

Module indexes are a short-term band aid, they should definitely not be
considered a real solution.

 - I verified that I got latency trace enabled (seen trace in kern.log)
 
 I only got some traces after running this (detail added for the sake
 of other newbies like me) :
 
gandalf:/proc/sys/kernel# echo 0  preempt_max_latency
 
 Here's the max latency trace I got (note that I got a similar trace
 *before* running the test, so I'd say it's unrelated to the AC3
 drop-out problem.):

I think it must be an electrical noise issue.

 No love at all  Sound from Left and right speakers, but nothing

Does the receiver indicate an AC3 signal rather than standard PCM?

IIRC AC3 passthrough might not work on nvidia chipsets due to a
proprietary hardware implementation, but it might have changed.

Do you mean the receiver has no way to display whether it's receiving

 First off
 
 Nice song -- I might have to look for more of him/her.
 
 Which points out that the file actually worked (and it does sound really
 nice).
 
 So I must ask -- DD/DTS/AC3 are all forms of encoding surround sound.
 Is it typical that only AC3 works on our systems?  Is AC3 the DVD
 standard (I didn't think so...)?  

I'm not really a home theater expert, but the DVD standard is AC3 which
is also known as DD.  DTS is an older, less common format.  So you
should be able to play DVDs in surround.

I'm not sure why the other file didn't work.  It looks like mplayer
tried and failed to guess the file type?

I *think* that if AC3 passthrough works then DTS must work - it's just a
matter of setting a non-audio bit on the stream.

No, that will decode the AC3 file on the host in software, what Nathan

 Sorry, I must respecfully disagree. I've just tried this command:

 AC3 Stream 48.0 KHz 384 kbps
 
 And I can see the dolby digital AC3 indication on the display of my
 Yamaha DSP-A1 amplifier which means the passthrough is workign fine.

Sorry, I didn't realize that ac3dec supports passthrough with the -C
switch.

 (of course without taking into account the sata pb that's plaguing me
 ;-) )

I'm afraid that is a hardware problem and there's no software solution.

The Unsupported soundcard $FOO message is actually quite misleading -
it just means that something went wrong such that the build is not
possible.  Often it's caused by not having the kernel sources installed
or not having the same compiler that was used to build the kernel
available.  (Someone should really fix that).

Kernel modules must be build by the same compiler as the kernel they

You have no /dev/dsp because the snd_pcm_oss and snd_mixer_oss modules

 To enable realtime in your customised Debian 2.6.18 kernel, you need
 to 
 set under security options:
 
 CONFIG_SECURITY_CAPABILITIES=m
 

This will make no difference at all unless the app is specifically
written to use realtime scheduling.

I don't think this has anythign to do with why OSS apps sound good and
ALSA ones don't.  Maybe the app is not setting a big enough buffer.

Which application are you testing with?  Do you get the same results

It sounds like your application, not ALSA, is changing the PCM volume.

It could work on Windows and still be a hardware problem, just because
Linux might drive the hardware in a different (but correct) way.  For
example some people have singing capacitors under Linux but not

No, it's not.  Master is the main output volume control.  PCM controls

Cannot be done easily.  The two cards will consume data at different

You could set up 2 instances of JACK, run one for each card and connect
them with netjack or jack_diplomat, but that will only allow you to run

Unless you have the exact same codec, this is unlikely to help.

To the OP: Conexant codecs are poorly supported now because the vendor

Install strace on your target (it's very easy) and strace the failing

   0 [SoundByLayout  ]: AppleOnbdAudio - SoundByLayout
SoundByLayout
   1 [default]: USB-Audio - C-Media USB Headphone Set
C-Media USB Headphone Set   at
  usb-0001:10:1b.2-2.3, full speed
 
 
 
  i want to stream the sound from Amarok, so i need ices2 which grabs the
  sound from the USB soundcard.
 
  in the ices2.config i have the following choice:
 
  input
modulealsa/module
   param name=rate44100/param
   param name=channels2/param
  param name=deviceplughw:hw:0,0/param
  !-- Read metadata (from stdin by default, or --
 !-- filename defined below (if the latter, only on SIGUSR1) --
param name=metadata0/param
param name=metadatafilenametest/param
  /input
 
  i red, that i need a dmix setup, so that Amarok and ices2 get working
  together.
 
  does anybody has a setup like my one?
 
  The onboard soundcard is never used.

 do you know a bit more about that setup? I have no idea, to let Amarok
 playing and ices2 grab the sound.
 

Try creating an .asoundrc for dmix as described on the ALSA site.

Shouldn't it be as easy as:

rpmbuild -ba alsa-lib-1.x.x/utils/alsa-lib.spec

?

Cross compilation is indeed a nightmare, especially if you need to
support multiple autotools versions.  But native should be trivial...

Re: [Alsa-user] Setting the Default Notebook Sound Card?

 Hi I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-225 laptop and am running Kubuntu 6.10.
 
 Anyway the thing is that my laptop has onboard sound which is an Intel 
 HD Audio Chip (which I believe is based on a Realtek design). The chip 
 for this card is called snd_hda_intel. However I also have an Audigy 2 
 ZS PCMCIA notebook card.  The driver for this card is called snd_emu10k1.
 
 Originally with both cards active my Intel HDA card was being loaded as 
 the default card. This was relatively easy to resolve (though not as 
 easy as it should be) by following these guides:
 

If you were using Gnome you could just use gnome-sound-properties to
select the default sound card.  KDE must have something similar...

 Hi,
 
 I'm unable to get sound from my newly acquired m2npv-vm mobo with ALSA 1.0.12

 The hardware is working as I can play music with GeeXBox 
 (http://geexbox.org). 
 I've also tried different kernel versions (up to 2.6.19). So, I can only 
 asume it's an ALSA problem. 
 
 # cat /proc/asound/version

What ALSA version did geexbox use?

With new hardware it's always best to use a recent ALSA version.  Try
1.0.14.

 I bought a SB Audigy 2 ZS PC Card. The SB seems to have disabled the 
 Southbridge because the notebook speakers don't work anymore.

No PCMCIA sound card will let you output to the internal speakers -
they're hard wired to the internal audio device.  This applies to every
OS.

  But the 
 headphone output of the SB is great. The problem is that I use
 Audacity 
 1.3 on Mandriva 2007 PWP KDE with all the updates as of 12/16/06 and 
 line-in recording does not work. Audacity states Error while opening 
 sound device. Please check the input device settings and the project 
 sample rate.

You may need a newer ALSA version like 1.0.14 for that device.

If your distro does not provide up to date ALSA packages and you don't
want to risk breaking things you can try a live CD distro like the
latest Knoppix...

No idea.

Doesn't FC6 provide a better interface to select the default sound card
than editing that file?

If you don't run legacy OSS apps, the cleanest solution is the way
gnome-sound-properties does it (define default PCM in
per-user .asoundrc)
