Re: [Alsa-user] ALSA DRIVER on VAIO PCG-U3

2003-01-31 Thread Hirotsugu Okura
Hello,

I tried to change mixer configuration with alsamixer and amixer.
But they showed an error message as following and stopped.

Error message:(in the case of alsamixer)
  ALSA lib simple.c:939:(simple_add1) helem (MIXER, 'IEC958 Playback
Switch`,0,0,0) appears twice or more
  alsamixer: function snd_mixer_load failed: Invalid argument

And after I changed the part of sinple.c to coments with /* */  and did
"make", alsamixer worked.
After that the sound is OK with head phones, but the speaker doesn't sound.

Does anybody know how should I do?

Hiro Okura

does this still appear on 0.9.0rc7?
if yes, please send me the contents of /etc/asound.state.

first, please report which driver you are using.  /etc/asound.state or
the output of amixer would also be helpful for debugging.

regarding to the speaker output:
did you adjust and unmute the "master" and "headphone" volumes?
(btw, the headphone volume really influences on the loudness of the
 headphone output?)

Dr OM,
I think you should look at your file modules.conf. If there is an alsa
section, delete it.
I then suggest you install the correct lines in modules.conf. I use for that
the very usefull alsaconfigurator script. Look f.i. at

the alsa driver tries to load the card modules which _may_ be
aliased as snd-card-X.  you can ignore them, or add the module option
to snd such as

options snd cards_limit=1

[Alsa-user] es1968 - AC97 does not respond. How to debug?

2003-01-31 Thread Voluspa

Since we're heading towards a 2.6 kernel where native OSS either is totally skipped, 
or practically unmaintained, it would be a shame not to get a squeak out of my (quite 
common) Maestro 2 chip with the ALSA driver.

So I'm looking for directions on how to debug the following situation. I hardly know 
any C, and definitely not the pointer to a pointer to a... that seems to inundate the 
linux kernel. But a debugger where I see the assembler code is right up my alley :-)

Now, I tried alsa 0.9.0rc7 under a 2.4.19 kernel but it had 'unresolved symbols' even 
in the main snd module (think it was 'err' or something) so it never got to the point 
of es1968 loading.

Therefore I turned to kernel 2.5.59 with the general module loading fix applied. A 
_long_ list of unresolved symbols spat out from anything alsa-related... Next test was 
to compile the sound into the kernel. Here I encounter the AC97 problem, and nothing 
changes after applying the alsa-bk-2003-01-28.patch.gz.

Most frustrating is that I reported this exact problem with the 2.5.47-ac5 kernel back 
in November 2002 directly to the maintainers (the developer mailing list never 
approved the original message). The sound was then compiled through modules.

Here's the error as showed by /var/log/kernel (bk patch applied):

Jan 30 20:16:42 loke kernel: Inspecting /boot/System.map

The correct loading of a native OSS module looks like this (in 2.4.19):

[Alsa-user] Delta66 + SPDIF in + arecord

2003-01-31 Thread Colin Law
Hello,

I'm having trouble recording from SPDIF in using arecord with a delta66 
and the ice1712 alsa driver 0.9 rc5,  (I'm trying to record from dat). I 
am able to record, but only at very low quality (8 bit, Rate 8000 Hz, 
Mono).  I setting the device to arecord with -d hd:0,24 for the digital 
audio capture. I can tell arecord to set the rate higher with -h 48000, 
and I can still record, but I dont see an option to set the number of 
bits. However, if i try and set to stereo, or use arecord's -f cd or -f 
dat options, I dont get any recorded sound. Using envy24control I can 
see the mixer levels are active so the sound is coming in, it just isn't 
recording.

So, how can I record from SPDIF in with reasonable quality (16bit, 
48000Hz, stereo) ? Any clues?

~Colin.

Have you tried 'arecord -Dspdif' ?

The spdif device is hw-type so if you want to do conversions in alsa-lib, 
you have to use 'arecord -Dplug:spdif'.

the bug-list tells

but I haven't got any sound from my front-box, yet.
I have installed the rc7 and tried with alsamixer and envy24control.
The only sound I get is from cd or pcm-out.
Has anyone had success with analog-in via front-box?

[Alsa-user] What Soundcard for SPDIF AC3 passthrough?

2003-01-31 Thread Manegold
Hallo,
I'm looking for a soundcard primarily for DVD playback. As I want to do Dolby 
Digital 5.1, DTS etc. I want to connect an external decoder/amplifier via an 
SPDIF digital connection (coax, non optical) that passes the unmodified 
digital stream to the external decoder (passthrough via SPDIF) using xine or 
ogle as a software DVD-player. What soundcard is best supported under Linux 
for this?

It would of course be nice if it can produce and decode DD 5.1, too, do that I 
could use it under Windoof for some games as well.

Is the SB live Platinum any good for this?

Any suggestions?

TIA
Thorsten

PS: Please cc: via private mail, so that I don't miss the answer. Thanks

hmm, they must be there.  or, try alsamixer?
could you show /etc/asound.state for debugging.

[Alsa-user] vxpocket working on powerpc

2003-01-31 Thread Matthew Yee-King
Hello list people

I've got my vxpocket 2 working on my powerbook now. A few more steps and i'll have an 
open source DAW :)

I've got a couple of questions:

1. has anyone managed to get jackd (/ardour...) working with the vx? what arguments 
did you use?

2. There appear to be some problems with recording - I have tried recording through 
the analog and digital inputs with the same results - a mild digital clipping overtone 
throughout. Does anyone have any more info about this? I'm running a driver taken from 
cvs jan 20th.  

cheers

matthew

Re: [Alsa-user] es1968 - AC97 does not respond. How to debug?

Compiling 0.9.0rc6 under the same kernel gives clean modules but same error on loading:

Jan 31 16:58:55 loke kernel: PCI: Found IRQ 5 for device 00:06.0
Jan 31 16:58:55 loke kernel: PCI: Sharing IRQ 5 with 01:00.0

AC'97 0:0 does not respond - RESET [REC_GAIN = 0x0]
Jan 31 16:58:56 loke kernel: ESS Maestro soundcard not found or device busy

Cutting down to a bare minimum --with-cards=es1968 --with-sequencer=no --with-oss=no 
has no effect. Hacked the alsa-kernel/pci/ac97/ac97_codec.c to skip the test, but 
crapped out on next speedbump:

Jan 31 17:53:22 loke kernel: ALSA ../../alsa-kernel/pci/ac97/ac97_codec.c:1563: 
AC'97 0:0 access is not valid [0x0], removing mixer.

So, it seems something called ac97->num and ac97->addr always are zero. No surprise it 
fails... But surprising that the 'err' is zero as well.

[Alsa-user] Alsa for ALC650 and Via Chipset - Issues

2003-01-31 Thread Steven Ellis
I have a problem that if I have been using mplayer to watch a video the
audio device doesn't get released properly. Hence ewhen I browse a web
page that uses the flash plugin the browser (galeon) hangs waiting for
the audio device to be released.

In the end I have to re init the alsa driver and everything starts
working again.

Anyone else have this problem and know of another solution?

Steve

[Alsa-user] problem with installing alsa-utils

2003-01-31 Thread Tommy
Is anyone can handle this problem?

I downloaded the 3 files (alsa-driver, alsa-lib, alsa-utill) to hear 
some sound from my onboard soundcard-cs4236. I followed the instruction 
and came upto the part installing "alsa-utills". For the first atempt, I 
did the command "./configure", than I got the following output. The 
error massage said that I have to install alsa-lib first but I installed 
alsa-driver and alsa-lib sucessfully though.

Can someone help me to figure out what's wrong and what I should I do?

Output:

Re: [Alsa-user] problem with installing alsa-utils

2003-01-31 Thread Julien Patrick Claassen
Hello Tommy!
  Maybe you'll have to run ldconfig. I had similar problems with other
software packages. I think some index files must be updated. Normally this
happens periodically, but if you directly install a program after installing
the required library, it may fail, for ldconfig had had no time to run.
  I hope, that can fix the problem.
  Kindest regards
Julien

Re: [Alsa-user] es1968 - AC97 does not respond. How to debug?

2003-01-31 Thread Voluspa

Have always enjoyed talking to myself :-) Well, compiling backwards I've found the 
last working alsa to be 0.9.0rc3 It loads _and_ plays sound (only tested OSS apps). 
But some issue with unloading, me think. Killed the box completely, hard locked.
