[Alsa-user] Onboard KT3 mb sound problem with SuSE 8.0
Hi - I cannot get the the onboard sound of my new MSI KT3 motherboard (via8233) working with SuSE 8.0. I tried to install a newer version of the ALSA sound system from http://sdb.suse.de/en/html/thallma_alsaup_80.html (alsa-0.9.0.cvs20020507-0) without success. Alsaconf always terminates with the following error message : ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:413:(snd_pcm_hw_drain) SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_DRAIN failed: Input/output error The same time, in /var/log/messages : May 12 08:04:32 getafix kernel: ALSA ../alsa-kernel/core/pcm_lib.c:178: BUG:stream = 0, pos = 0x7c04000, buffer size = 0x4000, period size = 0x1000 May 12 08:04:35 getafix last message repeated 19 times May 12 08:04:46 getafix kernel: ALSA ../alsa-kernel/core/pcm_native.c:1093: playback drain error (DMA or IRQ trouble?)

You can check with 'cat /proc/interrupts' how many interrupts are generated between the start and end of the audio application that 'loops the sound'. Btw, your card isn't ISA PNP?

[Alsa-user] EMU10K1 mixer/control
I'm trying to get Alsa working well with my SB Live! 5.1+ card. I'm using the 2.5.14 kernel. My alsa (-lib, -util) is from "cvs update -D '8 may 2002'", as I read somewhere RC1 was missing files and the current CVS doesn't compile for me (something integer64-related that happened later that day). (Did I just pick a bad time to pull?) Digital output is working, but I don't have much control. alsamixer is not working well. The "master", "PCM", "Center", "LFE", etc. controls do nothing. (Do some of those only apply to analog output? Or is this a bug?) The only control that does anything is the second of two labelled "EMU10K1 PCM". It does vary the volume. It doesn't seem to have the mute option. I really don't understand all the different controls in the mixer - the labels seem pretty redundant even when they aren't exactly the same. Plus, it apparently shows toggles as sliders, with the toggle done by muting; pretty confusing. I would like to use analog surround output. (*) How do I switch this? After doing a "alsactl store", I see a toggle called "SB Live Analog/Digital Output Jack" in /etc/asound.state. I flipped it to "false" and ran "alsactl restore". I then get no sound on either digital or analog. I played around with mixer settings, no go. Any ideas would be much appreciated. (*) - As I understand it, there's no way to get digital 5.1 output in Windows games, since the card doesn't have an AC-3 encoder. Since it is possible to get DVD surround sound output with analog (it does have an AC-3 decoder and outputs for all six channels), I'd like to always keep it on analog for consistency. If I'm wrong and I can get get AC-3 from Counterstrike, I'll be quite happy using digital output. -- Scott Lamb ___ Have big pipes? SourceForge.net is looking for download mirrors.

[Alsa-user] No bass with 4 speakers
I have looked all over for a solution to this problem, but have found nothing, so hopefully someone here can help me. I recently switched to using alsa with my sblive. I was previously using the opensource drivers I found on sourceforge. When I used them I need to enable an option called "INVERT_REAR_SPEAKERS" to be able to get proper output from my subwoofer. I'm trying to find an equivalent setting for alsa because when I use 4 speakers, my sub gets very quiet. if I go back to 2 speakers, then it works normally again. Hope someone can help. -- Derek Williams [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://nebvin.dhs.org signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
[Alsa-user] asound.conf pcm.tee, anyone know how to use it
Please someone correct me if I am mistaken. Can the pcm.tee option in alsa.con (/usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf) be setup so that the output of a program that uses alsa natively be monitored by connecting to this "tee" ?? My primary app (eXtace) needs this sort of functionality, The old ALSA 0.5.x called it loopback, can this do the same? Can anyone offer tips for someone who really doesn't understand the asound.conf syntax to possibly get it to work? Thanks for any input... = Dave J. Andruczyk ERP __ Do You Yahoo!?

[Alsa-user] asoundrc, share , simultaniously playing over different channels
Is there anyone with a working type share setup,
allowing to play soundfiles
simultaniously to different channel.
The documentation, tells me I can't use the same
channel twice, thats fine,
but it seems I can't even use different
channels.
The output is send to the correct channels, just
the second play command ( going to
a different share ) waits for the first to
finish.
Any pointers to how to get this
working?
Thanks!
