[Alsa-user] Rear (analog) speakers in ALSA for the Audigy?

2002-10-16 Thread Howard Hsieh
I recently installed Alsa for my Audigy (I'm running Gentoo 1.4_rc1 on a dual AMD MP system, for those curious), but I couldn't seem to get rear speakers working (analog outputs on the back of the card). I noticed in an old forum post that the support was broken. Is it still? If not, what volum

Does your system use devfs? I can't remember if Redhat 7.2 uses this, but with devfs device permissions are allocated to users on the fly as you describe. In this case you can force permissions in /etc/devfsd.conf. Such a fix is mentioned in the ALSA "INSTALL" file included with the ALSA driver

A big hug to all. Today, after several weeks of downtime, I finally got my synth + drum machine to talk to my Linux box. As was suggested, the problem was my MIDI cable. I will talk to my local music store (which is normally helpful + well-informed) about getting decent cables. [Off-topic: doe

[Alsa-user] Something changes the permissions on /dev/audio and /dev/dsp on login

2002-10-16 Thread Arcana
Hello there, When I log in as a user all of the audio-related devices get their owners changed to the currently logged-in user. So, what happens is that if I log in under my user name (let's say "irwink") then the devices /dev/audio*, /dev/dsp*, /dev/sequencer*, etc. get chowned to "irwink".

I need hardware mixing and it is clear the nForce chip isn't well loved in the Linux world. Without nVidia releasing some information, the devs aren't particularly interested in figuring out how to implament support (but who can blame them?)... So, I need to buy a sound card. I can get a SoundB

[Alsa-user] VT8233A & ALC101

I am having fun getting the onboard sound on my recent Gigabyte GA-7VKML mobo working. The mobo has a VIA VT8233A southbridge, and a Realtek "AC'97" ALC101 codec. I think earlier revisions of this board have a different codec chip because references to it in the mobo manual are in a loose erata

Hi, I recently bought an EPoX 8K5A2 motherboard, with an onboard ALC201 sound chip. This motherboard utilizes VIA's new VT8235 south bridge (as opposed to VT8233 in most other recent VIA chipset boards), which I think may be the cause of my sound problems. I've tried various ALSA drivers with
