Re: No sound from Midi Keyboard via USB
Hi, first of allthanks for your answer. > MIDI isn't a protocol for sound and MIDI devices don't generate sound, > the Oxygen 8 is a controller keyboard. I am aware of this - I am sorry if I didn't mention this. > If your Oxygen 8 isn't connected to a software synthesizer on your > computer (such as a DSSI synth or a soundfont engine in Rosegarden) or a > hardware synth or sound module, you'll never hear anything, whether > connected with a DIN connector or MIDI over USB. Well, as I am beginner in midi, I just thought that I might get a sound when having chosed "General MIDI Device" and under it "Acoustic Grand Piano" in the section "Wiedergabeparameter". I just assumed that somehow, Rosegarden has integrated a software synth here. Am I completely wrong? Anyhow, when I select "Synth Plugin" under "Wiedergabeparameter" and then eg "Xsynth DSSI plugin" as Paramter for the instrument, I perfectly hear something. Also, I am able to get sound via ZynAddSubFX. But I still want to understand how rosegarden is working here - can somebody please explain me where my brain went wrong?

Re: Getting M-Audio Delta 66 working
I just noticed something a little bit strange. I booted into my Windows just to see if the soundcard is working there. And when I look into the settings, I did see the following: - Windows is using the device "S/PDIF" Output from the Delta 66 as standard output device. - in the M-Audio mixer, the settings are as follows: SPDIF-Output-source: "sw rtn" 1/2 out: Mixer I noticed that when I am changing the output of "spdif out" to "mixer", I have quite the same situation as under Linux: I can see the level-meters of "spdif out" and the "master" moving, but no output. This only changes when I set "spdif out" to "sw rtn" and "1/2 out" to "mixer" Now the problem: I can´t really transfer "sw rtn" onto my Linux system, because we have other names for that here. But perhaps this helps to find the cause? So is there any way to configure this under Linux? I am quite confused now, because the terms are different in both OS. Perhaps somebody can help here and clear up the fog of terms? Regards, Dennis -- Pt! Schon vom neuen GMX MultiMessenger gehört?

Re: Getting M-Audio Delta 66 working
> Can you check in Envy24 to see if your monitor inputs are unmuted? They seem to be unmunted: They are light grey, not dark grey. But this leads us to another point: Should I see any level moving here? I don't think so, because on the "monitor inputs" I can control the 4 hardware inputs of the break out box plus the 2 spdif inputs, as far as I see. Or am I wrong? Anyway, for today, I think I should switch my PC off, because I'm really getting desperate. I was thinking about what can be done about this and I just wanted to propose that if any of you would like to check this on my PC, I would be willing to give ssh access to it. Regards, Dennis -- Pt!

Re: Getting M-Audio Delta 66 working
> I've never been able to get audacity to work right on my machine using a > Delta 1010lt. Okay, but I tried to get an Output with Audacious, with mp123, with mpg123-alsa... Nothing, everytime the same result: The level-meters show a signal, but nothing is coming out of speakers... Does anyone have an idea? Background: I can send back the soundcard if it does not work. So already now the second question: If the M-Audio 66 is not the only card you would suggest, what else may I buy and works under Linux? I know that you certainly will support me here to get this working, but from my point of view, it does not really help me nor do all of you have the time to look what's wrong on my system... I'd prefer to et it working, yes, but if there is another card for recording that works out of the box on ubuntu studio, well, then the solution is quite near! Regards, Dennis -- Pt!

Well, I tried pressing them several times, but nothing came out of my speakers.Still, I get a signal shown on the left "Digital Mixer". I guess it may related to the outputs of Audacity and the settings of the patchbay in envy. But I am not quite sure about these, perhaps you may support me here? Regards, Dennis -- Pt!

Getting M-Audio Delta 66 working
Hello list, I just got my M-Audio Delta 66 soundcard today and I got it in my system. Now, I tried to get it work, but I just can get something out of the card. So let's begin with the details. I disabled the on-board soundcard in BIOS and rebooted. So lets see: $ lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: ATI Technologies Inc RS690 Host Bridge 00:02.0 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc RS690 PCI to PCI Bridge (PCI Express Graphics Port 0) 00:12.0 SATA controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB600 Non-Raid-5 SATA 00:13.0 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB600 USB (OHCI0) 00:13.1 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB600 USB (OHCI1) 00:13.2 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB600 USB (OHCI2) 00:13.3 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB600 USB (OHCI3) 00:13.4 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB600 USB (OHCI4) 00:13.5 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB600 USB Controller (EHCI) 00:14.0 SMBus: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 SMBus Controller (rev 14) 00:14.1 IDE interface: ATI Technologies Inc SB600 IDE 00:14.3 ISA bridge: ATI Technologies Inc SB600 PCI to LPC Bridge 00:14.4 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 PCI to PCI Bridge 00:18.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] HyperTransport Technology Configuration 00:18.1 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] Address Map 00:18.2 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] DRAM Controller 00:18.3 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] Miscellaneous Control 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8800 GT (rev a2) 02:07.0 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies Inc.

RTL-8110SC/8169SC Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10) I am not quite sure, but there is a PCI Multi-Channel card which should be mine. As I saw on the m-audio site that drivers for this card are available from opensound.com, I downloaded the file " oss-linux-4.1-1051_amd64.deb" there and installed it. So far, so good. Now, next goal would be that the soundcard is giving out something via one of the 4 outputs. And this is were I fail. So lets see: $ ossinfo Version info: OSS 4.1 (b 1051/200812302211) (0x00040100) Platform: Linux/x86_64 2.6.24-23-rt #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Mon Jan 26 02:32:55 UTC 2009 (mick-recstudio) Number of audio devices:10 Number of audio engines:10 Number of mixer devices:2 Device objects 0: osscore0 OSS core services 1: oss_envy240 M Audio Delta 66 interrupts=1704919 (1704919) 2: oss_usb0 USB audio core services 3: usb046d08b2-0 Logitec Quickcam Pro 4000 (mic) 4: usb046d08b2-1 Logitec Quickcam Pro 4000 (mic) Mixer devices 0: M Audio Delta 66 (Mixer 0 of device object 1) 1: Logitec Quickcam Pro 4000 (mic) (Mixer 0 of device object 3) Audio devices M Audio Delta 66 out1/2 /dev/oss/oss_envy240/pcm0 (device index 0) M Audio Delta 66 out3/4 /dev/oss/oss_envy240/pcm1 (device index 1) M Audio Delta 66 S/PDIF out /dev/oss/oss_envy240/spdout (device index 2) M Audio Delta 66 in1/2/dev/oss/oss_envy240/pcmin0 (device index 3) M Audio Delta 66 in3/4/dev/oss/oss_envy240/pcmin1 (device index 4) M Audio Delta 66 S/PDIF in/dev/oss/oss_envy240/spdin (device index 5) M Audio Delta 66 input from mon. mixer /dev/oss/oss_envy240/mon (device index 6) M Audio Delta 66 (all outputs)/dev/oss/oss_envy240/10ch_out (device index 7) M Audio Delta 66 (all inputs) /dev/oss/oss_envy240/12ch_in (device index 8) Logitec Quickcam Pro 4000 (mic) rec /dev/oss/usb046d08b2-1/pcmin0 (device index 9) Ah, the soundcard is correctly detected. So I start $ ossxmix and, in another bash $ osstest In ossxmix, I see that something is happening, but I can't hear something via speakers or headphones. I guess it has to do something with jackd, but as I am not quite into the basics, perhaps somebody could tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks a lot Regards, Dennis -- Pt!

In the 1010 description, MIDI support is mentioned, while in the 66, this is not mentioned. Does this mean that the 66 does not support MIDI at all (you said that you use MIDI with the 66, so this seems to work, but I rather ask to make sure)? Regards, Dennis -- Computer Bild Tarifsieger!

Recommendation for Soundcard
Hello, I thought it might be a good idea to ask here which soundcard I should buy before just getting any. So here are the things I want to do with my Ubuntu-Studio 8.04 on my AMD 64: I need a soundcard where I can plug my bass guitar in - directly or via a effect device. I will then record my bass tracks to the rest of the band (I will get the rest as mp3 or wav). Optionally, what would be good, is that I could use MIDI with my effect device, so I need a piece of hardware that possibly supports MIDI. Ah, an btw: I live in germany (this could be important, I think). Can anybody please give me an advice what to buy? Thanks a lot. Regards, Dennis -- Computer Bild Tarifsieger!
