I would expect personal computer sound card line-in and microphone inputs to use the same design analog-to-digital converter. So, the sampling rates and bit depths should be the same. But, microphone inputs are usually monaural. So, if you use a stereo patch cable from your television to your computer, you will only hear the left channel. And, microphone inputs usually have more analog gain. So, you will need to turn the television volume down and/or reduce the microphone gain in your mixer application.

That's what I'm imagining from the description, too. Sounds like all power's off to the computer... so I'm imagining that... The card doesn't need "power" to work? Apparently no. This is the first time I've ever thought about that aspect. That's a constant checkpoint for things like those CHEAP $5 external hard drive adapters that have no enclosures, but it's never been a factor for PCI'ish/plugs into the motherboard type hardware. Is there some kind of direct wiring going on between the linein and lineout points? Yeah, I know, never mind on that one. There has to be something like that for it to work even when the power switch is on. Something goes in and can only go back out if there is an unbroken line of connectivity somehow within the product. :) Those thoughts are coming from sitting here reading Long Wind's description while knowing that my speakers power on and off separate from the computer. Wish I had some way to (kicks 'n' giggles) test the same to see if mine duplicates the result. Afterthought: This is a stretch of the imagination, YES, but Is there any way it could be seen as an exploitable vulnerability where it's possible to interact within the computer even when it's turned off completely? Absolute worse, hopefully totally impossible scenario would be that the boogeyman burglar busts into your office one night, plants some bad mojo on that PCI card, you boot up your computer the next morning, and off that bad mojo goes running throughout the rest of the internal workings... Yes, I do understand that the card would have to be capable of certain [tasks]. If that card's not capable, maybe others are? > input/output might be shortened on the board - why would you look at BIOS? Hail Mary pass...?

With respect, thats not really true, because I've just rebooted my Etch install to the 2.4.27-2-386 kernel and Alsa works with no problems. Personally I liked the 2.4 kernel, as it has a separate Alsa-modules-2.4.27-2-386 package, and the Alsa driver was updated more often than the Alsa driver that came with the 2.6 kernel. > > 2.4 Kernel is out and 2.6 is in re moving forward. > > Etch will soon be stable and it has to use 2.6 with udev. > > > Tackle the kernel upgrade first and by itself. > > Ditto udev. > > Install all things Alsa Agreed. The Alsa stuff I have installed is, Alsa-base, Alsa-oss, Alsa-utils, and obviously for the 2.4 .27 kernel, the Alsa-modules-2.4.27-2-386 package. > > run alsaconf. If Alsaconf picks up your card ok you can see if it's truly there by running. cat /proc/asound/cards Running. cat /proc/asound/version will show you the Alsa driver version. Alsamixer is often initially muted when a card is first setup, so open alsamixer on the CLI as user. Your card appears to be supported, but I don't know what controls you will see on your alsamixer. Mine for the Audigy2 soundblaster shows "Master", "PCM", and "Front", as the main sliders to get some sound out. Also look on alsamixer for controls that are muted. The "M" key toggles the mute/unmute. Apologies for poking my nose in on this thread.

All I had to do to get sound working was > install the alsa stuff. btw: I can't say it went so easy for me, perhaps because I've also got a usb midi keyboard, and usb on bootup starts early, and messes with the soundcard loading. Alsa was seeing my keyboard as a soundcard, and setting it as card0, and consequently the real soundcard was set as card1, resulting in no sound. It meant setting some index options for the soundcard (snd-emu10k1), and for the usb midi keyboard using (snd-usb-audio). > > Remeber to have full backups, a rescue CD (Etch's install CD works great > for this), and a way to boot the computer before you do the kernel > upgrade. > > Good luck. > > Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

However, as I recall: /dev/dsp is part of OSS OSS is out and ALSA is in as part of the kernel itself ALSA needs a 2.6 kernel. 2.4 Kernel is out and 2.6 is in re moving forward. Etch will soon be stable and it has to use 2.6 with udev. Tackle the kernel upgrade first and by itself. Ditto udev. Install all things Alsa run alsaconf. Search these archives (google on site:lists.debian.org alsa 2.6 udev). If you still have problems, ask here. Personally, I'm running Etch. All I had to do to get sound working was install the alsa stuff. Remeber to have full backups, a rescue CD (Etch's install CD works great for this), and a way to boot the computer before you do the kernel upgrade. Good luck.

It's possible you are successfully setting the volume of some part of the card, but not of the part of your card you think you are. Some cards driven by the snd-intel8x0 driver have a "quirk" which means that the surround volume control and the master volume control (if you have surround sound) or the headphone volume and the master volume control, are swapped. I'm not totally sure of the details but my reading of the documentation suggests the _pins are wired into the board the wrong way round ()_ on some boards... The driver claims to be able to detect this in some cases and compensate for it -- but my board, which is different to yours, is an example of one it doesn't. Try using amixer to unmute and set the volume of your card (you may possibly have to be root to do this, I don't on my machine but I'm not sure if that's universal). amixer set Headphone 50 unmute This will unmute the Headphone setting and simultaneously set the volume to 50 (either 50 on a scale of 1 to something or 50%, not sure what controls which it does, either way 50 should be audible). If you don't have amixer on your machine, apt-get alsa-utils first then you will. Then you can use aplay to check your sound is working. amixer set Master 50 should also set master volume, amixer set pcm 100 to set PCM to 100% (then control actual volume with either Master or Headphone setting) One caveat -- I'm not sure if the settings are driver-dependent or card-dependent. My money is on driver-dependent but I've been wrong before (back in 2002 sometime I think... just kidding). Anyway, amixer's "set" commands are CASE SENSITIVE so first do: amixer | grep 'Simple mixer' and that'll give you a list of mixer settings you can change. Then be sure to use the setting EXACTLY AS IT APPEARS. For example my master volume is 'Master' so I can change my volume with: amixer set Master 50 for example. Actually I use amixer set Headphone 50 since my card has the Headphone / Master Swapped problem and I haven't fixed it yet. Headphone will probably be muted unless you've unmuted it. Actually, on my board ALL the settings using ALSA were muted until I unmuted them -- even though I'd been successfully playing sounds using OSS under a 2.4 kernel until I upgraded to 2.6 and ALSA. Summary: Make sure you are using amixer Make sure you really have unmuted the mixer settings -- it says off if muted and on if not. use amixer setto change settings Test with aplay Consider the possibility that your Headphone and Master settings are swapped if none of the above solves your problem. The driver claims it can be forced to swap settings so Master does what it says it does using module options, but I haven't got that working yet. (Info about the "quirk" involving master / headphone swap came from /Documentation/sound/ALSA Configuration.txt -- search that file for the word intel.

sound card problem
Hi there, I am a bit desperate to have my Sound Blaster Awe 64 work... I thought I should move to ALSA. So, I tried to update my kernel to version 2.4.16, because someone told me it was easier with the package alsa-modules-2.4.16, but I am afraid it led me to re-install everything!! So, back to my good old kernel 2.2.19pre17, with my 3 CDs version 2.2. I have a few packages there when I run a dselect, and don't know exactly what to install... alsa-source alsautils alsa-base alsa-headers alsaconf alsalib0.3.0 .. Should i install all of them? And then do I need to run an install process like described on the asla-project web site? Sorry for this question...

Sound card problem
Hi, In my Debian woody box sound card is not working I'm having creative vibra 128 card #sndconfig says Sound module not found you don't seems to be running a kernel with modular sound enable (soundcore.o was not found) and it's supported with Linux 2.2 but It's impossible because it's woody ;) In KDE it gives an error at startup Error while initializing sound drivers Device /dev/dsp can't be open (permision denied) even in root I changed #chmod 777 /dev/dsp after that it says (can't open no such device) In /dev there are 3 dsp files it might be the problem (its not selected the correct dsp file) but what the config file for sound cards? Please tell me how to config my sound card Thanks in advice Chanka perera -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

As for isapnp not finding the card, I wonder if it is confused with the on board sound card. Can you try disabling the on board sound?

Sound Card Problem
My system is an old P5-100 with 48 MB RAM and a pnp modem, pnp on the motherboard CS4232 sound card (this is disabled in WIN 95), and an pnp AWE64 Sound Blaster. The trouble I am having is that pnpdump is not seeing the Sound Blaster. On a friends machine (almost the same except no no onboard sound chip) we were able to use pnpdump and configure the isapnp.conf file, recompile the kernel and modules, sound then followed. When may machine is booting I can hear a click like my sound card is initializing but I have completely eliminated the isapnp.conf file and mv the isapnp call out of the boot scripts so what on earth is initializing the card? I don't have any parameters being handed off in LILO and I am assuming that this is where my problem is originating.
Sound Card Problem
Hello Debian users!! I finnaly initilize my sound card in a Slink using kernel 2.2.9. But I had to load DOS drivers and use loalin before loading the sound modules (Without this step, I can olny use audio CD ). I can play midis and some wav without any problem. But some wav and all my MP3 sounds horrible in linux. I don't have any problem with theses files in DOS/Windows. I would like to know how to configure this soundcard for playing MP3 and how to ionitilizes this card without booting from DOS fist. This card, by Windows information, is an Aztech Sound Galaxy. Windows 95 use the folowing drivers for this card: AZT 2316/R Audio Driver I/O 0220-022F I/O 0530-0537 I/O 0388-038B IRQ 10 IRQ 11 DMA 01 DMA 00 MPU-401 Compatible I/O 0330-0331 IRQ 09 Using DOS, this sound card uses mode Sound Blaster at ports 220H, IRQ 07, DMA0 In MWSS mode, the card user port 530H MPU401 : Port 300H, IRQ2 On Linux, I use the DOS configuration for loading the modules.
