  ok... 

  1) The/var/log/messages indicates that you are running the pa server as 
root (you say as well) and it also says the pa server is not intended to be run 
as root... so you might want to change to a regular user and use sudo for root 
related activities.

  2) I think that the terjeta 3 requires some special parameters ... 
similar to tarjeta 2.  I'm not familiar with ice1724 device driver, but you may 
want to try the same setup for tarjeta 3 as for tarjeta 2.  This is just a 
guess... anyone with knowledge about how to setup an ice1724 source/sink in 
pa... please speak up now... 

  3) Of course, it looks like tarjeta 3 was identified by the 
module-detect/module-hal-detect.  What we've done is disable this and tried to 
set the sources/sinks manually.  module-detect/module-hal-detect seems to be an 
all or nothing proposition...  if anyone knows of a way to auto-detect specific 
devices and manually set others in the same config file... please speak up now. 
  

  Well, you might want to try this (once again, a guess):

  a) re-enable the auto-detect  - we know this will detect tarjeta 0 
and 3, and not tarjeta 1 and 2 
  b) add only the manual configuration for tarjeta 2, after that


  So your default.pa file would contain:


  ### Automatically load driver modules depending on the hardware available
  .ifexists module-hal-detect.so
  load-module module-hal-detect
  .else
  ### Alternatively use the static hardware detection module (for systems 
that
  ### lack HAL support)
  load-module module-detect
  .endif

  # Load the devices:
  #load-module module-alsa-sink sink_name=nvidia_out device=hw:0
  #load-module module-alsa-source source_name=nvidia_in device=hw:0

  #load-module module-alsa-sink sink_name=hdmi_out device=hw:1
  #load-module module-alsa-source source_name=hdmi_in device=hw:1

  load-module module-alsa-sink sink_name=ewx2496_out device=hw:2 
channels=10 channel_map=left,right,aux0,aux1,aux2,aux3,aux4,aux5,aux6,aux7
  load-module module-alsa-source source_name=ewx2496_in device=hw:2 
channels=12 
channel_map=left,right,aux0,aux1,aux2,aux3,aux4,aux5,aux6,aux7,aux8,aux9

  #load-module module-alsa-sink sink_name=e192m_out device=hw:3
  #load-module module-alsa-source source_name=e192m_in device=hw:3

  # Select default device
  #set-default-sink nvidia_out 
  #set-default-source nvidia_in

  Let's see if module-hal-detect/module-detect allows manual loading of 
sources/sinks.

ok...

1) The/var/log/messages indicates that you are running the pa server as 
root (you say as well) and it also says the pa server is not intended to 
be run as root... so you might want to change to a regular user and use 
sudo for root related activities.


2) I think that the terjeta 3 requires some special parameters ... 
similar to tarjeta 2.  I'm not familiar with ice1724 device driver, but 
you may want to try the same setup for tarjeta 3 as for tarjeta 2.  This 
is just a guess... anyone with knowledge about how to setup an ice1724 
source/sink in pa... please speak up now...


3) Of course, it looks like tarjeta 3 was identified by the 
module-detect/module-hal-detect.  What we've done is disable this and 
tried to set the sources/sinks manually.  
module-detect/module-hal-detect seems to be an all or nothing 
proposition...  if anyone knows of a way to auto-detect specific devices 
and manually set others in the same config file... please speak up now.  


Well, you might want to try this (once again, a guess):

hi, the problem is partial solved

i an coment and paste the module taht you say my

i am coment and uncoment one to one, to discart waht is the card tthat cause 
problem ,

  Now as I understand it, when linux starts, 

  1) there is a program called hald (hardware abstraction layer daemon) 
that identifies the hardware attached to your computer.  In the output of 
aplay, each card is given an identifier...  "tarjeta {0 -3}"

  2) other programs like pa use the info hald provides to make decisions 
about how to use the hardware.

  In the case of tarjeta 2  - EWX2496  using the ice1712 driver (this same 
chip is in my tarjeta), apparently pulseaudio or hald did not identify it 
correctly, and when trying to connect to this tarjeta, pa realizes this and 
says no.

  The default global pa config file (/etc/pulse/default.pa) in ubuntu has 
these statements: 

  .ifexists module-hal-detect.so
  load-module module-hal-detect
  .else
  load-module module-detect
  .endif

  which is a means of auto-detecting the tarjetas on your system.  Let's 
change this:

  1) make a copy of your original global config file
  cd /etc/pulse/
  sudo cp default.pa default.pa.original

  2) comment out the lines that deal with auto detecting the tarjetas (the 
lines above)

  3) Add these lines in it's place: sudo [vi,gedit,...] default.pa
  
  # Load the devices:
  load-module module-alsa-sink sink_name=nvidia_out device=hw:0
  load-module module-alsa-source source_name=nvidia_in device=hw:0

  load-module module-alsa-source source_name=e192m_in device=hw:3

  # Select default device
  set-default-sink nvidia_out 
  set-default-source nvidia_in
  

  Note: We are telling pa to use devices identified by your system labeled 
hw:{0,1,2,3}... nothing special, except for the ewx2496 that uses the ice1712 
device driver.  This is the same chip my tarjeta uses, and in that case I had 
to add extra information about the chip... the part that says "channel_map=..." 
 I'm not sure if the other tarjetas need special mappings or instructions, but 
give this a try.

  4) Restart pa ... in ubuntu, I would try "sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio 
{start,stop,...} and it would not give feedback if the server status had 
changed.  So I would use the pa manager (paman) to start/stop the pa server.  
Frequently, I would not know if the server was still running and would use "ps 
aux | grep pulse" to check status.

  Let's see what happens

The default global pa config file (/etc/pulse/default.pa) in ubuntu has 
these statements:


.ifexists module-hal-detect.so
load-module module-hal-detect
.else
load-module module-detect
.endif

which is a means of auto-detecting the tarjetas on your system.  Let's 
change this:


1) make a copy of your original global config file
   cd /etc/pulse/
   sudo cp default.pa default.pa.original

2) comment out the lines that deal with auto detecting the tarjetas (the 
lines above)


3) Add these lines in it's place: sudo [vi,gedit,...] default.pa

# Load the devices:
load-module module-alsa-sink sink_name=nvidia_out device=hw:0
load-module module-alsa-source source_name=nvidia_in device=hw:0

load-module module-alsa-sink sink_name=hdmi_out device=hw:1
load-module module-alsa-source source_name=hdmi_in device=hw:1

load-module module-alsa-sink sink_name=ewx2496_out device=hw:2 
channels=10 channel_map=left,right,aux0,aux1,aux2,aux3,aux4,aux5,aux6,aux7
load-module module-alsa-source source_name=ewx2496_in device=hw:2 
channels=12 
channel_map=left,right,aux0,aux1,aux2,aux3,aux4,aux5,aux6,aux7,aux8,aux9


load-module module-alsa-sink sink_name=e192m_out device=hw:3
load-module module-alsa-source source_name=e192m_in device=hw:3

# Select default device
set-default-sink nvidia_out
set-default-source nvidia_in


Note: We are telling pa to use devices identified by your system labeled 
hw:{0,1,2,3}... nothing special, except for the ewx2496 that uses the 
ice1712 device driver.  This is the same chip my tarjeta uses, and in 
that case I had to add extra information about the chip... the part that 
says "channel_map=..."  I'm not sure if the other tarjetas need special 
mappings or instructions, but give this a try.


4) Restart pa ... in ubuntu, I would try "sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio 
{start,stop,...} and it would not give feedback if the server status had 
changed.  So I would use the pa manager (paman) to start/stop the pa 
server.  Frequently, I would not know if the server was still running 
and would use "ps aux | grep pulse" to check status.


Let's see what happens

Hi,

I'm back again.  I upgraded to Ubuntu 8.04 which uses PA as
the default sound server and new hardware(AMD Athlon X2)  The
PA server is version 0.9.10.  My /etc/default.pa looks like this:

.nofail
load-sample-lazy pulse-hotplug /usr/share/sounds/startup3.wav
.fail
load-module module-alsa-sink sink_name=intel_hda_out device=hw:0
load-module module-alsa-source source_name=intel_hda_in

channels=10
channel_map=left,right,aux0,aux1,aux2,aux3,aux4,aux5,aux6,aux7
load-module module-alsa-source source_name=delta_in
device=hw:1 channels=12
channel_map=left,right,aux0,aux1,aux2,aux3,aux4,aux5,aux6,aux7,aux8,aux9
set-default-sink delta_out
set-default-source delta_in
.ifexists module-esound-protocol-unix.so
load-module module-esound-protocol-unix
.endif

load-module module-default-device-restore
load-module module-rescue-streams
load-module module-suspend-on-idle

.nofail
load-module module-gconf
.fail
.endif
.ifexists module-x11-publish.so
.nofail
load-module module-x11-publish
.fail
.endif

To get feedback from the PA server I used paman (pulseaudio
sound manager in ubuntu) and it said that the intel_hda_out
device is the default sink.  I tried to force the default
sink to be delta_out with pacmd, but that stopped the PA
server... I didn't realize that when I exit paman, it shuts
the pa server down.  I was a little confused by that...
expecting the server to stay alive.

I noticed that I could "play-sample" to the delta_out and it
sounded fine.  It looked like I can get my Delta 66 card and
PA to work but only in that "play-sample" mode. 


I did not realize that I had the volume-restore enabled, and
it had quite a few settings from the past that were all
related to intel_hda_out... also my ~/.pulse/default-sink
file was also set to intel_hda_out... anyway even though the
global config file(/etc/pulse/default.pa) set the default
sink to delta_out, there are local config files in ~/.pulse/
that can also modify the defaults.  It's probably in the
literature somewhere, and it makes sense for clients that are
sharing a server.

Anyway, I after changing *all* (local and global) the config
files, the system works... and pretty well.  Hope this helps
someone with their M-Audio Delta setup.

If you want to record midi and do other "pro-audio" stuff,
then jack is the way to go. If you also want to do "desktop"
stuff (like have every media player just work), then the
best solution in my experience is to run pulseaudio on top
of jack (like instructed in that link).

A summary of what you'll have to do at minimum:
- Get pulseaudio version >= 0.9.7
- Remove device loading from /etc/pulse/default.pa and add
  the jack modules instead
- Edit /etc/security/limits.conf as instructed in the link
- Edit /etc/pulse/daemon.conf to enable realtime scheduling
- Run jackd with -R parameter (i.e. in realtime mode)
- Other stuff that I have forgot ;)

If you are going to record midi, that probably means that
you have some midi instrument that you want to be able to
play live. That requires quite low latency. That's
completely possible to achieve. Unfortunately it may require
extensive tuning (mostly kernel, bu

Re: [pulseaudio-discuss] Help in setting up PA... SOLVED

2008-06-02 Thread Richard Geddes

Hi,

I'm back again.  I upgraded to Ubuntu 8.04 which uses PA as the default 
sound server and new hardware(AMD Athlon X2)  The PA server is version 
0.9.10.  My /etc/default.pa looks like this:


.nofail
load-sample-lazy pulse-hotplug /usr/share/sounds/startup3.wav
.fail
load-module module-alsa-sink sink_name=intel_hda_out device=hw:0
load-module module-alsa-source source_name=intel_hda_in device=hw:0
load-module module-alsa-sink sink_name=delta_out device=hw:1 channels=10 
channel_map=left,right,aux0,aux1,aux2,aux3,aux4,aux5,aux6,aux7
load-module module-alsa-source source_name=delta_in device=hw:1 
channels=12 
channel_map=left,right,aux0,aux1,aux2,aux3,aux4,aux5,aux6,aux7,aux8,aux9

set-default-sink delta_out
set-default-source delta_in
.ifexists module-esound-protocol-unix.so
load-module module-esound-protocol-unix
.endif
load-module module-native-protocol-unix
load-module module-volume-restore
load-module module-default-device-restore
load-module module-rescue-streams
load-module module-suspend-on-idle
.ifexists module-gconf.so
.nofail
load-module module-gconf
.fail
.endif
.ifexists module-x11-publish.so
.nofail
load-module module-x11-publish
.fail
.endif

To get feedback from the PA server I used paman (pulseaudio sound 
manager in ubuntu) and it said that the intel_hda_out device is the 
default sink.  I tried to force the default sink to be delta_out with 
pacmd, but that stopped the PA server... I didn't realize that when I 
exit paman, it shuts the pa server down.  I was a little confused by 
that... expecting the server to stay alive.


I noticed that I could "play-sample" to the delta_out and it sounded 
fine.  It looked like I can get my Delta 66 card and PA to work but only 
in that "play-sample" mode. 

I did not realize that I had the volume-restore enabled, and it had 
quite a few settings from the past that were all related to 
intel_hda_out... also my ~/.pulse/default-sink file was also set to 
intel_hda_out... anyway even though the global config 
file(/etc/pulse/default.pa) set the default sink to delta_out, there are 
local config files in ~/.pulse/ that can also modify the defaults.  It's 
probably in the literature somewhere, and it makes sense for clients 
that are sharing a server.


Anyway, I after changing *all* (local and global) the config files, the 
system works... and pretty well.  Hope this helps someone with their 
M-Audio Delta setup.

You are correct... latest release Ubuntu 7.10 comes with PA 0.9.6.  
I'll look into getting the latest version of PA.


My goal was to use PA as a replacement for esound server...  I'd like to
be able to record/mix different sound sources (midi, analog, sound from
files (mp3, wav, ogg, etc)) and be able to create different file
formats, including sound delivered in flash (I'm not a fan of flash as
it consumes alot of cpu time, but it is in demand).  I played with jackd
for a while and was impressed with it's technical capabilities, but

If you are going to record midi, that probably means that
you have some midi instrument that you want to be able to
play live. That requires quite low latency. That's
completely possible to achieve. Unfortunately it may require
extensive tuning (mostly kernel, but you may need to tweak
irq priorities as well). Vanilla kernels are AFAIK getting
better and better regarding latency, so first try with your
current kernel. The actual latency is controlled by jackd
parameters -n and -p (read man jackd). If your kernel isn't
able to provide low enough latency, you'll get drop-outs and
xruns (the former being the audible consequence of the
latter).

If you have problems with setting pulseaudio to work in
combination with jack, or anything else pulseaudio related,
then feel free to ask further questions.

If it turns out that your system needs latency-tuning, here
are a few kernel options you could try without compiling an
-rt patched kernel:
CONFIG_NO_HZ=y
CONFIG_HZ_1000=y
CONFIG_HZ=1000
CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=y (AFAIK th
