Hi; I am new to ALSA (well, sound in general), and am having a little trouble getting aplay (and arecord) working with my (new) M Audio Audiophile 2496 card.
I've built the ALSA driver, lib, and util packages for the 0.9.0beta12 version on a RedHat 6.2 based Alpha machine using gcc 2.95.3. I also built the envy24control program from the alsa-tools package. The kernel sources are RedHat's 2.2.19-6.2.16 (my own .config, though). The card appears to be working - the analog input and output seem to work (I can play CDs "by hand" using them), and envy24control program seems to work fine, as does amixer and alsamixer. However, aplay says: [root@lorien /root]# aplay junk.mp3 Playing raw data 'junk.mp3' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:248:(snd_pcm_hw_hw_params) SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_HW_PARAMS failed: Cannot allocate memory aplay: set_params:767: Unable to install hw params: ACCESS: RW_INTERLEAVED FORMAT: U8 SUBFORMAT: STD SAMPLE_BITS: 8 FRAME_BITS: 8 CHANNELS: 1 RATE: 8000 PERIOD_TIME: 125000 PERIOD_SIZE: 1000 PERIOD_BYTES: 1000 PERIODS: 4 BUFFER_TIME: 500000 BUFFER_SIZE: 4000 BUFFER_BYTES: 4000 TICK_TIME: 976 The sources show me this happens for an ioctl failure, but I am not sure what this really means. Any ideas? I get similar output when trying to play .au files with aplay. FWIW, xmms also reports ioctl failures and refuses to play. Presumably this is related to the aplay failure. Any help you can give is much appreciated. Thanks in advance, Craig [root@lorien /root]# lsmod Module Size Used by snd-mixer-oss 13392 0 (autoclean) snd-ice1712 54416 1 snd-pcm 73472 0 [snd-ice1712] snd-timer 15104 0 [snd-pcm] snd-cs8427 5520 0 [snd-ice1712] snd-mpu401-uart 5136 0 [snd-ice1712] snd-rawmidi 18896 0 [snd-mpu401-uart] snd-seq-device 6912 0 [snd-rawmidi] snd-i2c 3808 0 [snd-ice1712 snd-cs8427] snd-ac97-codec 31360 0 [snd-ice1712] snd 48208 4 [snd-mixer-oss snd-ice1712 snd-pcm snd-timer snd-cs8427 snd-mpu401-uart snd-rawmidi snd-seq-device snd-i2c snd-ac97-codec] soundcore 4368 3 [snd] [root@lorien /root]# grep CONFIG_SOUND /usr/src/linux/.config CONFIG_SOUND=m # CONFIG_SOUND_CMPCI is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_CS4281 is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_FUSION is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_EMU10K1 is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_ES1370 is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_ES1371 is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_MAESTRO is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_MAESTRO3 is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_ESSSOLO1 is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_ICH is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_SONICVIBES is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_TRIDENT is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_MSNDCLAS is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_MSNDPIN is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_VIA82CXXX is not set CONFIG_SOUND_OSS=m # CONFIG_SOUND_PAS is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_SB is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_GUS is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_MPU401 is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_PSS is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_MSS is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_SSCAPE is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_TRIX is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_MAD16 is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_WAVEFRONT is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_CS4232 is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_OPL3SA2 is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_MAUI is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_SGALAXY is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_AD1816 is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_OPL3SA1 is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_SOFTOSS is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_YM3812 is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_VMIDI is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_UART6850 is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_NM256 is not set # CONFIG_SOUND_YMFPCI is not set _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
