[Alsa-user] Still Audigy2 and digital output. Routing issue?
Hi list, sorry to bother you, but i still have trouble in getting the digital output of my audigy working. I use alsa 0.9.8 with my audigy2 in an analog 6.1 configuration wich works fine (in 5.1) as well as with the digital link over the "a/d output Jack" - no Livedrive Up to a couple of days ago, i used debian alsa0.9.6-3 with gave me a pcm signal over the digital link. ac3-passthru did not work, but xine was able to decode DD5.1 and send it over the analog links to my amp. Trying ac3-passthru gave my that "ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:1055:(snd_pcm_hw_open) open /dev/snd/pcmC0D3p failed: [...]" Now i switched to 0.9.8, the error dissappeared but also any sound over the digital link. I tried different configurations of extin/extout while loading the module but with no effect. it seems to me, as something with the routing is not correct. On xine-user, James advised me "Once you have standard stereo working, just enable passthru in the xine config, and passthru will work." so, this seems to be my problem. What may i try, how can i fix this. Any help would be nice.

[Alsa-user] Maestro3 sound recording problem on Omnibook Xe3
Hi, I've installed the latest ALSA drivers on an Omnibook Xe3 having an ESS Allegro-1 soundcard. I have RedHat 9, kernel 2.4.20-8 on the notebook. Unfortunately I can not record sound using the microphone in an acceptable quality. This means, that after enablig Mic Boost, and setting the volumes in alsamixer to 100%, I can record loud noise, and silent speech in the background. I've read many articles on this problem, but until now, I could not find any solution for the problem. Has/had anyone the same problem? Moreover, knows anyone a solution, for this problem?

[Alsa-user] CMI9739A and volume control
Greetings: I recently puchased an 865PE motherboard from MSI, which includes a CMedia 9739A audio chip. I then compiled linux 2.6.0-test8 and, after a little digging around chose the intel8x0 ALSA driver to drive my sound system. The system booted, I un-muted the PCM and Master volume, played an MP3 and was absolutely astounded at the extremely good sound quality and the absolute lack of volume control. So I searched the archive for this mailing list and found two messages expounding the same problem. The respondent answered that the CM9xxx chips do not have a PCM Mixer control and, after reading through the CMI9739A Technical Brief available from C-Media's web site I was able to verify this fact. This is all well and good, but I still want volume control and I am not sure how to go about doing it at this point. Should I 1. Forget using ALSA and use a deprecated OSS driver, 2. Continue my attempts to hack the Linux driver that C-Media distributes so that it works with the 2.6 kernels (it runs, but still no volume and the sound output is noticeably inferior), 3. Find/write some user-space utility that programmatically controls the volume, 4. Pony up the dough to buy a real sound card and stop relying on on-board codecs, or 5. Scream, rant and rave and people and projects wholly disconnected with my perceived problem. While no. 5 sounds like the most fun, I have been informed by others that it might not be the most political of responses. Any input is greatly appreciated. -- Steven Bergom --- This SF.Net email sponsored by: ApacheCon 2003, 16-19 November in Las Vegas.

Any input is > greatly appreciated. there is also "master" control on this chip, and this control should work. on many mobos, the true line-out (aka headphone) pin is connected to the line-out jack. in such a case, ac97 master control doesn't do anything but other control such as "headphone" or "surround" might affect the volume. anyway, there must be some way to control the "master" volume, in addition to "pcm" switch. if not, it should be a bug of the driver, or the chip is messy and we need a workaround.

Yeah this is sort of an interesting problem.. My best suggestion is try running: $ setpci -d '12eb:*' 40.B=ff This seems to fix problems with the via chipsets. Also you may want to try the latest code in the openvortex cvs as it has a similar fix included.

In my case I have a MB with a VIA VT8237 and a CMEDIA CMI9739. When using the ALSA mixer the PCM volume control is disabled (you can only mute/unmute PCM) and the master volume control does not work - the sound out of the speakers is muted with the master volume at 0% and at full volume otherwise regardless of setting. Takashi and others have pointed out that the CMI9739 does not provide PCM Volume control. Although this is correct please note that both the Windows driver as well as the CMEDIA Linux driver (available at www.cmedia.com.tw) provide fully operational volume controls for both Master and PCM volumes. I also downloaded the VIA Linux driver for the VT8237 (available from the VIA website). Unlike the very basic CMEDIA driver, the VIA driver is "full featured" and interestingly enough has the same problems with the volume control as the ALSA driver. This leads me to believe that the problem is with the ALSA ac97_codec driver which is used by the VIA driver and not with the snd-via82xx driver. Steven, note that the CMEDIA driver, although basic and not based on ALSA, works just fine (both volume controls work). You may want to consider using it until the ALSA driver is fixed. Since the source code for the CMEDIA driver is available (unlike the VIA driver) I have been trying to figure out how they implemented the volume controls. Unfortunately I am not familiar enough with linux sound to really make much sense of the code (and the ALSA documentation is a bit skimpy). I have written a small perl program that displays register value changes (from /proc/asound/card0/ac97#0regs) to see if I can spot the problem with the ALSA driver. I was hoping to compare them to the register values set by the CMEDIA driver, but this driver does not use the /proc interface. (Perhaps someone with the right knowledge can modify the CMEDIA driver to write register values to /proc like the ALSA driver does.) Takashi, do you know if there is some other way to display the register values used by the CMEDIA driver? Alternatively, do you know how to configure the ASLA driver so that at least the master volume control works? Or, is there some data I can capture to help the alsa developers debug this problem? Jose By the way, The CMEDIA driver is at http://www.cmedia.com.tw/driver/Linux/Ac97/cmaudio-041.tar.gz The specification sheet for the 9739 is at http://www.cmedia.com.tw/e_tech_01.htm The VIA driver is available at http://www.viaarena.com/?PageID=2 --- This SF.Net email sponsored by: ApacheCon 2003, 16-19 November in Las Vegas.
