Re: [Freevo-users] Freevo + Mandrake 9.1 + Lircd
Do you have the pylirc module installed? i.e. does this work: barrelhaven:~$ python -c "import pylirc" If not, you need to get pylirc from pylirc.sf.net and make sure you have a lircrc file.

[Freevo-users] Freevo + Mandrake 9.1 + Lircd
Hello, This is mostly for anyone who is using Freevo with the lircd RPM that installs with Mandrake 9.x. I have another interesting problem that I can't seem to figure out. I upgraded my system to Mandrake 9.1 (RC2) and decided to try the lircd RPM (I had previously installed from source). I got it configured properly, so that when it is started, and I run 'irw' I am getting the correct key presses from my remote. However, when I start Freevo, I get the Freevo menu, etc., but the remote no longer seems to work (or at least not with Freevo). Anyone else come across this?

Re: [Freevo-users] Problems with Shuttle SK41G
Sorry about the false alarm, I got the on board 8235 audio to work. I didn't figure it out till I put a sound blaster card in and went through the instructions one more time. I had lots of problems trying to get the on board audio to work and at first I was getting lots of errors. I reinstalled alsa lots of times and toward the end after I sorted out some irq problems I stopped using amixer to unmute Master and PCM and instead used alsamixer. That was the problem you have to use amixer to unmute both Master and PCM, alsamixer doesn't do it, even if you set the level of both to 100. I think I'm going to stay with the on board audio for a while and see how I like it.

Re: [Freevo-users] Problems with Shuttle SK41G
I missed the beginning of this thread, but just as an FYI, the 8235 is supported in the 2.4.21 rc kernels (I think I'm running rc4). I did also make it work with Alsa 0.96 I think, but I'm currently just using the kernel driver. My 8235 is on a Gigabyte GA-7VAXP by the way, not a shuttle, but I thought I'd mention it since it is working. -Steve * Jason Calabrese <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [030309 15:09]: > >What southbridge has this motherboard? via 8235, perhaps? > > Yes > > > >What version of alsa? > I've tried a few versions, 0.9rc6, 0.9rc8, and a current cvs tarball > > >Wait a minute, you can work the mixer and "have no sound" but /dev/dsp > > doesn't exist? > > Yes the mixer works and with rc8 it identifies the sb correctly as 8235 > > > >The sad thing is that onboard audio usually sucks. > So what sound card should I get?

Well, I don't know *personally, but when i examined the situation, I ruled out mini-itx systems entirely because the onboard stuff is generally sub-par. Maybe there are very new mini-itx boards that do a better job, since there is an increasing interest in using them as 'convergance' boxes. The onboard video is probably fine to output to a VGA monitor. it's tv- out that's trickier than it sounds. I use a microatx system with onboard ethernet, onboard video that I don't use, 3 pci slots, and one AGP slot. I've installed a G400-dh and an Audigy, as well as a tv card. I'm not saying that the audigy is the card to get. Just that it's a card that can work. i bought mine about a year ago when it wasn't clear which pci sound cards had really clean analog and functional digital under linux. One tip i can give you is that aside from vendor-specific OEM versions (for dell, gateway), all audigy cards are created equal. And then shipped with different software packages. And one of them has an old LiveDrive in a fancy new box that sits on your desk instead of a drive bay. (the Extigy box connects to the same header as a Live Drive, and comes with a special bracket that breaks it out into an external connector. You can actually use a LiveDrive with an Audigy. There is no external soundcard.) The 8235 is a newish southbridge. My 8235-based board was QC'd mere weeks before i received it. Support will probably improve with time. Maybe you should just be patient. I'll try my via82xx audio when i get home. I got the driver working but never bothered to listen to it. Also, I remember seeing alan cox say something about updating the kernel driver for those parts. - Eric --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Etnus, makers of TotalView, The debugger for complex code.

I guess I'll address them in-line. I wouldn't say they're not really fully supported, more that they flat out suck. they're feature-poor and the quality is typically low, so why bother supporting the paltry extra features they have?

I keep wondering why someone doesn't cobble together a usb dongle that's nothing but an ac3 uart and a toslink connector. Would be perfect for these applications. The core, design issue with so-called on-board 'ac97' audio is that the ac97 spec states that the codec only supports 48khz 16 bit unsigned. the audio controller (which is not the codec) may accept other rates, but it must resample them to 48khz 16 bit unsigned before sending them to the codec. Some DSP designs are good at this - the Audigy for example - and some DSP designs are bad at this - the SB Live, for example. The via southbridge chips are almost guaranteed to be bad a this aspect. And then you have to worry about the analog and power sections of the codec implementation, too. asking a digital EE to build a clean analog circuit is like asking a fish to play a piano. - Eric --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Etnus, makers of TotalView, The debugger for complex code.

Re: [Freevo-users] VE Wonder + Low Sound
damn. ok it was a good guess. I think the thing now to do is to isolate the components that maybe causing a problem. If you have a device with a line out (I have a handheld cd player which has a line out since it is one of those car-cd players.) I would use your mixing application to unmute line in and then connect the device to the line in and play something on it, and see if you can hear anything. if you don't have such a device and you are running X I would try seeing if you could get xawtv to run and watch tv with it. basically try to remove freevo from the equation make sure it is not the problem and then move up to see if it is the sound card, tv card or something else.
