[Alsa-user] Some notes for a variety of audio cards

2003-10-21 Thread Lee Azzarello
I had some big successes last night with two of my audio cards that have had troubleshooting threads on this list in the last couple of months. I browsed over the archives and didn't find any comprehensive solutions, so here it goes. The first card is the Emagic EMI 2|6 USB audio device and

[Alsa-user] /dev/snd/seq dissapears

2003-08-03 Thread Lee Azzarello
On system startup, there is no /dev/snd/seq device. All apps thet require MIDI control will not start up EXCEPT for PD, which starts fine and reads midi. From then on the device /dev/snd/seq exists and all other dependant apps will get MIDI fine. Why would I need to run a seemingly random app to

First, you might not want to go around rm'ing your kernel modules (files like snd*.o). It could leave your system in an unstable state. Second, you don't have a compiler installed, which might make compiling software difficult. Depending on your distro, you could start be installing gcc, the GNU

[Alsa-user] Small ALSA sequencer bug

Version 0.9.2 compiled from Gentoo 1.4 portage. Using DevFS, on system boot /dev/snd/seq does not exist. Thus all my apps that require MIDI fail to start start up with this message: quote ALSA lib seq_hw.c:446:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or directory Caught

perhaps it's failing because you spelled configure 'conifgure'? Or is that just a typo? -l[e^2] -- http://www.fallingforward.net/ people experimenting with music, art and technology On Sat, 2 Aug 2003, Andrew Cole wrote: Hi, I'm running RH 9 2.4.20-19.9, but since

[Alsa-user] ALSA as playback, routing and MIDI system

2003-07-28 Thread Lee Azzarello
So i'm slowly figuring out that ALSA is way more than just an audio driver API. It can do routing, format conversion and MIDI. Funny thing is that I thought I read the ALSA docs fairly well and found not so much information on these subjects. Am I looking in the wrong place? www.alsa-project.org

I'm tuning a Gentoo system with a 1010-LT to work with ALSA/JACK/Ardour. I have the ALSA drivers working quite well in all system apps. The steps I took: 1) Compile the most recent ALSA, JACK and Ardour from portage. 2) Insert the .asoundrc from the ALSA sound card matrix (this one really helped)

Hello. I am assembling a Digital Audio Workstation with a computer I built recently. It's a 1.8Ghz Athlon on a VIA mobo running Gentoo Linux 1.4. My audio card is the M-Audio Delta 1010-LT, which I bought specifically because of it's ALSA support. The version I have compiled is 0.9.2 from the
