Closing applications in ASU
How do I close applications in ASU? For example, I am in Assassin and the only way to go to Home is by selecting it from the drop-down on top (??) . How do I close it? I noticed that some apps have an 'x' for closing them. Is there a uniform way of closing them? ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
Re: Buzzing on GSM audio (settings also work well with GTA01)
I spoke a little too soon. A real test talking to someone else still had echo. So, it's better, but could still use improvement. Eric Eric Olson wrote: Hi, I'm just confirming that this helps audio on GTA01 as well. Testing with another phone, I was able to get rid of echo almost entirely (between our two phones) by reducing Mono Playback Volume to 72. Hopefully, this will be loud enough to hear well in noisy places -- I'll have to try that out. Here are the relevant numbers I settled on for now: (Tmobile US, other side was a cell phone, indoors -- not a noisy area) Mono Playback Volume 72 Speaker Playback Volume 118 Mic2 Capture Volume 3 Mono Sidetone Playback Volume 7 Bypass Playback Volume 7 On another note, the headset seemed to work well just now unless the headset mic was brought near the other phone or was touching the usb cable near the neo. I didn't test it very long -- I'm sure there are other things that can cause interference. At least I could hear some of the buzz on the neo side, so I can at least test it in everyday use and tell if there's interference (instead of entirely relying on the other person to tell me there's a problem like I did with echo). Eric Timo Jyrinki wrote: 2008/7/26 Andrew Bruno [EMAIL PROTECTED]: FWIW, I've found tweaking these specific settings in /usr/share/openmoko/scenarios/gsmhandset.state effect the intensity of the buzzing sound. Specifically: * 'Mono Playback Volume' (85) * 'Mono Sidetone Playback Volume' (7) * 'Mic2 Capture Volume' (3) (buzz) ... * 'Speaker Playback Volume' (112) * 'Bypass Playback Volume'(7) (echo) Thanks! With these tweaks to my current settings, I've successfully for the first time received a confirmation that the receiver of my call didn't hear an echo of her own voice. However, I did tweak Mono Sidetone Playback Volume from 7 to 4, since in my own testings with two phones I heard quite a lot of buzz still. That lessened it, and the receiver seemed to hear my well enough anyway. My paranoid / not-knowing-what-I-do procedure is to: 1. change /usr/share/openmoko/scenarios/gsmhandset.state 2. alsactl -f /usr/share/openmoko/scenarios/gsmhandset.state restore 3. alsactl -f /etc/asound.state store 4. reboot I now added a link to your post at http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Freerunner_Hardware_Issues#Poor_Audio_Quality since this is the first time I really achieved some good results. -Timo ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
Re: neod and pusleaudio -- evil tandem? ;-)
Yaroslav Halchenko wrote: I'm trying to improve mediaplayer, and a big part of that is improving performance. If you figure out why pulseaudio eats 6% CPU, that'd be great! Also, it mysteriously eats much more than that when music is being played back. well -- whenever it is playing my wild guess is that it resamples it from 44100 to hardware supported 48000, or smth like that... for that I guess it would need some cpu cycles Right, but why so many more than gstreamer + alsa? Pulseaudio says it's using floating point for the resampler, but the docs say it supports fixed point resampling. the mystery in my case is that pulseaudio doesn't play anything but does consume significant amount of cpu cycles There is a configuration setting that tells it to constantly send '0' to the sound card even when there's no input. This lowers the latency of playback, and might prevent clicking an popping. I haven't played with it. I think it's turned on right now. I don't understand why doing that takes 6% of the CPU. I'd think it would just repeatedly toss the same pointer into alsa without touching memory... Maybe context switches are more expensive than I'd guess. My theory is that it's doing unnecessary signal resampling and int-float-int conversions. Having mediaplayer bypass pulseaudio and talk directly to alsa saves a lot of CPU. ie it works like that for sure (ie have you tried it)? Yes. It's much faster. I posted a patch. On figuring out the float conversion stuff, GStreamer definitely converts to floats before going to pulse. It doesn't to do this for ALSA. The theory part is that it's unnecessary given pulse's current plugins, etc; I forced mine to keep everything fixed point, and it got *much* slower.
