[Alsa-user] What should the settings be in alsamixer?

2014-11-23 Thread Brian
Hi, 

I am interested in setting up xdemorse and saw the bug report. Can you tell
me what the settings should be in alsamixer? Thanks, and I look forward to
hearing from you. 

Sincerely,

Brian

I have no solution, but I can confirm Steffen's observation.  Many people have
tried to get sound working with ubuntu/feisty and the new santa rosa macbook pro
and have failed.  Their details are at:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=474144

I hope the alsa fix for this will be relatively easy.  As anyone reading the
alsa list would agree, having sound is kind of important!  Steffen's message
(found in gmane) was nice enough to include the lspci details.  Maybe the fix
can use it as a starting point.

[Alsa-user] MP#, anyone?

2006-03-12 Thread Brian




Does anybody have a clue as to where a copy of the ONE FILE
"libmp3lame.so" can be downloaded? I searched using Google and "Ask
Jeeves", and all I get is other people posting the same query, but no
responses posted which provide the answer. These include people
claiming to be UIX Admins, and the closest I get to answers are
references to where one can download an entire build of a new
application, and even those usually have substitute files instead!


   If so many people want the file, it must exist somewhere to
be downloaded. 

   The intended application is Audacity which is built into Mandrake
10.0.

[Alsa-user] sound in the Debian distro

2006-04-07 Thread Brian
   Having gotten the sound-application "Audacity" running well in 
Mandrake, FC3, and SUSE, I decided to try getting sound running in 
Debian.  I am using the version R4 (kernel 2.2. called "Woody"), and 
during the install, used "tasksel" for the big-picture and "dselect" for 
the fine-tuning parts. I saw the ALSA modules, and selected everything 
that had "sound" or "ALSA" mentioned.  Although I want to get Audacity 
with this distro, I had focused on getting basic "sound capabilities" 
running first.


  However, when the system started, right away it states "sound server 
could not be started". It mentions something about "soundcore.o" not 
being found. Running "sndconfig" does not find any "sound modules" at 
all. The system startup messages also state that the "/dev/dsp" is not 
found. The hardware is one of those Compaq boxes that have been working 
so well for me with everything else, and the soundcard is a brand new 
PCI version. The "lspci" command shows that it finds the soundcard 
itself at "00:f0".  So, it looks like the hardware is located, and the 
software install did not go far enough to provide the necessary modules. 
Does this seem to be a reasonable assessment?


  Reinstalling the system got the same results. I would like to know 
hat it takes to get some basic sound capabilities with this release. I 
particularly suspect the installation procedure itself, although I 
cannot determine what I may have wrong with it. Any comments are 
certainly welcome ...

[Alsa-user] Musix in English, anyone?

2006-08-21 Thread Brian
Hey,

There is a really interesting-looking distro called "Musix". Problem 
is, it seems to have a "split personality" with half of its
prompts in Spanish and the other half (or so) in English. GREAT 
features, but the language factor makes it looks more than
a little "schizoid". Also, the key-mapping is a mess, making the user 
substitute for punctuation characters at almost every turn.
Even "ls /dev/hda" has to be entered using alternate key-maps. What a 
mess ...

Anyone know of a location that has this release in "just" one 
language or the other?

[Alsa-user] Ensoniq 5880, anyone?

2006-09-20 Thread Brian
Anyone know where to find a "whitepaper" or similar document on the 
Ensoniq 5880? It is a PCI-based soundcard (yes, I know that Ensoniq was 
acquired by  Creative Technologies in 1997). Their site only says that 
it is a "discontinued product", and as a result does not have anything 
available on it.

[Alsa-user] alsaplayer problem (high speed, no sound)

2001-12-03 Thread brian


Hi,

I've been trying to use alsaplayer but haven't had much success.

First off, I can't get the gui interface to load a file, I click on it in
the gtk file selector but it doesn't try to play it.  However, I can 
specify the filename on the command line, in which case it loads the file
and tries to play it.

This is where I come to the second problem.  I've only tried this with mp3 
files, but in that case it plays the file at high speed and doesn't produce
any sound.  I've also tried using the cdda plugin (my main reason for 
wanting to use alsaplayer) and the same thing seems to happen - high speed
and no sound.

aplay sounds fine and the mp3 file plays fine with mpg123.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I compiled with the -DDEBUG and it
is reading the file, in that I see a back-to-back stream of:
  play frame success
  playing frame
  4608 -> 4608

I'm running 2.2.17 with alsa 0.5.9.  I've tried the latest alsaplayer 
sources and 0.99.50 as well.  My soundcard is a Yamaha YMF744B and the 
relevant bit of my modules.conf reads:

  alias char-major-116 snd
  alias char-major-14 soundcore
  alias snd-card-0 snd-card-ymfpci
  alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0

  alias   sound-service-0-0   snd-mixer-oss
  alias   sound-service-0-1   snd-seq-oss
  alias   sound-service-0-3   snd-pcm-oss
  alias   sound-service-0-8   snd-seq-oss

[Alsa-user] No sound! Ubuntu 8.10 and SI7012

2009-01-10 Thread Brian Harrington
Good morning:

I have a NEC Versa A2200 that I bought in Hong Kong in the summer of 2007.
I recently dorked-up the Windows XP operating system and decided to run Ubuntu.

Unfortunately, the sound does not work.

I've Googled the problem, visited the Ubuntu forums, but can't find an answer 
to my problem.  

It looks like ALSA does not support the sound card.

Can anyone on the list offer any help?


Thanks!

Now, exactly what kind of help? You tell us nothing about your system except
that is some unit purchased in Hong Kong and it used to run windows. I could
tell you to throw it away, but you would probably not find that helpful.
(NEC seems to have abandoned it already-- it is 4 years old)

If however you were to tell us what kind of soundcard it had-- run
lspci 
For example on my system reports for the audio
00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM
(ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02)

we might have a chance of figuring out what you have and giving you advice.


Also show us what is in 
/etc/modprode.conf or in one of the  /etc/modprobe.d/* files which might have
something to do with audio.

Also if you run
alsamixer
in a terminal window, do you get anything? Are the sliders slid up if there is
something.

Finally, you could buy a usb sound card and use that instead. There are some
pretty cheap ones and most tend to work with linux usb sound driver.

Hi Bill:

Some additional information:

I ran the alsa-info.sh script.
The url with the output is here:
  http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=80b87eaae66080e1e151e62c857becb675d5fb62

and I've also attached the output as a text file.

Based on this information and the information at the Ubuntu Sound Problem 
Solutions Guide (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449), I loaded the 
also module with:
  sudo modprobe snd-intel8x0

Still no sound.

Thanks again for your help!

I am still finding it strange that an SI soundcard is being run by the
intel8x0 module.

If you do 
rmmod snd-intel8x0 
modprobe snd-intel8x0

and then look at the output in dmesg
or look through dmesg for any mention of the intel8x0 module, do you see any
suggestive error messages?

Actually, I could probably call her and walk her through some diagnostics.
Does the output suggest that I should be using a module other than the intel8x0?

  I am just a little bit surprized that an SI soundcard would use an Intel
driver. Now it might be a clone of some sort, or I quite probably might not
understand anything. which now that I google seems to be right. One suggestion
is to use the old oss sound support
unload all of the snd modules, and instead load i810_audio module

lsmod|grep snd
and unload them
modprobe -r snd-
then 
modprobe i810_audio
and see if sound now works.

Hi Bill:

Finally got the laptop back.

I ran your first command and got the following:

br...@anna-laptop:~$ lsmod | grep snd

snd_ac97_codec    111652  1 snd_intel8x0

snd_seq_dummy  10884  0 
snd_seq_oss    38528  0

snd_page_alloc 16136  2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm
br...@anna-laptop:~$ 

Then I tried removing a couple of them and got the following errors:

br...@anna-laptop:~$ modprobe -r snd_intel8x0

br...@anna-laptop:~$ modprobe -r snd_ac97_codec

Do I need to remove them in any specific order?

[Alsa-user] ens1371 problems loading driver

2002-03-20 Thread Brian Retford

Hi,
I've tried just about everything to get ens1371 modules to install on my debian 
system. I have no idea what the problem is, except that it might have something to do

[Alsa-user] Alsa 0.9.x beta and LM8.2

2002-05-22 Thread Brian Parish

I need to use the 0.9 beta drivers for my card (Delta 66) as it is
multi-channel and not handled properly by the 0.5.x set which are
included in the Mandrake 8.2 distro.  I had these working in 8.1,
but under 8.2 on running configure for the driver I get:

checking for kernel version... expr: syntax error
expr: syntax error
expr: syntax error
failed (probably missing /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h)

I checked the alsa-user archives and found a reference to this problem,
but no suggestion of how to fix it.  Needless to say, version.h is not
missing:

-rw-r--r--1 root root  384 Mar 15 13:35
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h

I have the kernel sources and headers installed as required, but don't
have the coding knowledge to work out what is wrong with the way
configure is trying to get the version info.

I've tried this with 0.9.10, .12, and rc1 - same result every time.

TIA
Brian

[Alsa-user] is ice1712 missing from rc1?

2002-05-22 Thread Brian Parish

I have finally managed to make everything configure and compile on
Mandrake 8.2, but having run all the steps up to modprobe successfully,

modprobe snd-ice1712

can't find the module.  Neither can I!  I am using a Delta 66 card. 
INSTALL tells me to use snd-ice1712.  My modules.conf looks like this:

# ALSA native device support
alias char-major-116 snd
options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1
alias snd-card-0 snd-ice1712

# OSS/Free setup
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss

but:

$ modprobe snd-ice1712
modprobe: Can't locate module snd-ice1712

$ ls -R /lib/modules/2.4.18-6mdk/kernel/ | grep ice1712

also finds nothing.  Shouldn't there be an ice1712.o somewhere in there?

I tried the recommended: "./configure --with-debug=detect, make clean,
make" - no useful messages in /var/log/messages

Can anyone suggest how to further diagnose this, or spot what I have
screwed up?

TIA
Brian

Thanks Frans!

I had seen to stuff under points 0-3 before, but the "-with-cards" thing
was new to me and made all the difference.  Can't see this documented in
the INSTALL file!  Maybe I'm blind.

The other thing I had to do to make it work was to switch off DEVFS. 
Despite inserting the required lines in devfs.conf - modprobe failed. 
Reboot with devfs off, run snddevices and all systems are go.

Despite it working though, I still get lots of messages at boot for
modules I don't really want anyway (and am obviously not using).  Here's
a sample:

May 23 15:56:45 daw depmod: depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in

May 23 15:58:27 daw modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-slot-1

and more.  My modules.conf now looks like this:

alias char-major-116 snd

above snd-ice1712 snd-pcm-oss
alias snd-card-0 snd-ice1712

alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss

Can anyone suggest how to get rid of all this garbage?  OK, it's
working, but it's always disturbing to have error messages zooming past
during the boot.

thanks again!

Um yeah Takashi - that's what I thought I said.  I found lots of modules
but not ice1712.  Anyway, fortunately there was a slightly more useful
reply to a previous post which put me on the right track - I needed the
--with-cards option to configure.  Can't see this documented in the
INSTALL file.

Are you one of the developers?  This is the sort of response I usually
see from a member of a development team.  Sort of a "quit bothering us
with your stupid questions - we're busy writing code here" response.

thanks anyway
Brian

I am using a standard 8.2 install - didn't need to do that with rc1 to get my delta 66 
card going.
Just checked and there is the System.map in the src directory, but the
procedure still worked.

I found that the messages at boot regarding all the unresolved symbols
were a result of using the --with-cards option in configure.  At one
stage that seemed to be necessary, but it turned out that switching off
devfs was the most important step in getting it going.

In summary then:

1. Switch off devfs
2. Follow Garrick's procedure

and it works - at least for me!

[Alsa-user] Problem with intel8x0 driver -- Dell Precision 530

2002-07-18 Thread Downey, Brian

Hey all, 

I've got a problem that I'm hoping someone has figured out.

I'm attempting to get the sound to work on a Dell Precision 530 workstation
that has an Intel 860 chipset with an AD 1885 sound chip.

The intel8x0 driver loads fine, but all I get out of the speakers is a
low-volume "thump".  

It appears that this exact question was asked before, according to the
archives: (http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/12350/2002/2/150/7871743/) 
...but I didn't see a response from anyone.

Interestingly, I was having problems with the built-in kernel 810 driver
until I upgraded to v.2.4.18.   The 2.4.18 changelog contains a mysterious
line that says only this:

- i810 sound driver update  (Doug Ledford)

...whatever Doug did, it seems it fixed the problem on the 860 sound
chipset.   

Anyone have an idea?

-brian

[Alsa-user] Unresolved symbols at modprobe using rc2 and Mandrake 8.2

2002-08-12 Thread Brian Parish

I have Mandrake 8.2 running with the updated kernel: 2.4.18-8.1mdk

I have installed the kernel source rpm.

I have followed Jaroslav's instructions for my sound card: Delta 66

The driver, lib and utils all build successfully.  When it comes time
to: modprobe snd-ice1712

I get:

/lib/modules/2.4.18-8.1mdk/alsa/snd-seq-device.o.gz: unresolved symbol

modprobe: insmod snd-ice1712 failed

Have tried running configure with --with-sequencer=no, but that just
results in a different set of unresolved symbols.

TIA for any tips

best regards
Brian

Hi Frans,

It certainly helps me understand what's going on, but I'm not quite
smart enough to turn that into a solution.  I see now that everything
in: /lib/modules/2.4.18-8.1mdk/alsa/ is from the kernel rpm.  If I
remove this stuff, modprobe no longer finds anything.  The rc2 install
has built everything, but put it all elsewhere and modprobe just wants
to find the old stuff.  How do I point modprobe in the right direction?

thanks for the help - much appreciated!

cheers

[Alsa-user] Sequencer Input

2002-12-15 Thread Brian Victor
After a good amount of tinkering, I have alsa doing most of what I want.
I'm using a MidiSport 1x1 and devfs.  The modules are loading, pmidi is
displaying the MidiSport and playing MIDI files through it just fine, so
I presume output through /dev/snd/seq is working.  cat /dev/snd/midiC0D0
displays approrpriate "garbage" characters, but cat /dev/snd/seq does
nothing.

I saw a similar question in the list archives, but did not see a
response.  Sequencer input is the real reason I need to do all this, so
if anyone knows how I can get it to work, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks!

[Alsa-user] Can't get alsa to make a peep

2003-02-02 Thread Brian Kendig
I'm at wit's end trying to get my Debian laptop running ALSA to make 
any noise at all.  Well, it makes the system beep sound just fine, but 
nothing else.

To start with, when I run "aplay /usr/share/sounds/pop.wav", I get:
aplay: main:447: audio open error: No such file or directory

I'm running kernel 2.4.19 with packages 'alsa-modules-2.4.19-686', 
'alsa-base', 'alsa-utils', 'alsa-xmms', and 'alsaconf' installed.  I 
followed the 'Installing and Configuring ALSA Sound Modules in Debian 
HOWTO' on LinuxOrbit.com; I edited /etc/alsa/alsa-base.conf to set 
startosslayer=true, and I edited /etc/modutils/alsa to configure my 
sound layer properly.  (I'm using a Dell Latitude CPi D266XT laptop 
with a CS4237B chip in it, so I'm using the cs4236 driver.)  I even 
removed 'snd_' from the names of the modules to fix the 'option not 
found' error messages.

So as far as I know I have everything all configured okay... but 
obviously I don't!

I'm running a brand-new installation of Debian which I updated to 
'testing' (sarge).  The only significant thing I did to it was to 
install KDE 3.1, but it's my understanding that arts isn't even 
available for KDE 3.1 yet, so arts can't be getting in the way.

'lsmod' reports that modules 'snd' and 'sndcore' are loaded, but it 
doesn't show any other sound-related modules.

I've scoured mailing lists and web sites and I can't find any clue why 
this might not be working.  I'm really frustrated with it by now and I 
could use any tips anyone might have on how to fix it.  And it's not 
like this system could have a lot of cruft getting in the way and 
fouling stuff up; like I said, it's a fresh Debian installation, and I 
purposefully didn't install any other sound stuff because I didn't want 
it to interfere with alsa.

Thanks in advance!

[Alsa-user] Detailed instructions for setting up alsa?

2003-02-03 Thread Brian Kendig
I still can't get alsa to work, though I'm doing everything I think I'm 
supposed to be doing.

Can someone please point me to detailed and specific instructions for 
how to set up and use alsa from the packages on a Debian Linux system?  
Like, *exactly* what modules do I have to have present, and how do I 
verify they're loaded and working properly?  And what's the simplest 
way to test whether it's working, without having to rely on something 
that itself might not be configured properly (like xmms)?

I've read the 'Installing and Configuring ALSA Sound Modules HOWTO,' 
but all it says is how to set up /etc/modules/alsa and it doesn't 
explain what the lines in that file are for or how to make sure they're 
working.

Re: [Alsa-user] Detailed instructions for setting up alsa?

2003-02-03 Thread Brian Kendig
Thank you very much for the tips, but it looks like the alsa modules 
still aren't working properly.

Bernard Urban wrote:
For Debian woody and alsa-0.9:
You need packages libasound2, alsa-utils, alsa-base and one the 
following:
alsa-modules-2.4.xx (xx your kernel release) or alsa-source. The latter
let you compile an alsa-modules-2.4.xx for your specific kernel.

I have libasound2, alsa-utils, alsa-base, and alsa-modules-2.4.19-686 
installed (since I'm also using kernel-image-2.4.19-686).

lsmod will show you if snd-xxx modules are present.
They are normally automatically loaded when booting,


'lsmod' doesn't show any sound-related modules loaded after boot, not 
'snd' or 'sndcore' or anything else that looks like it deals with audio 
-- BUT, then I try running 'aplay /usr/share/sounds/pop.wav' and I get 
the error 'aplay: main:447: audio open error: No such file or 
directory', and then I run 'lsmod' again and now it lists that modules 
'snd' and 'soundcore' are loaded.

I do have the following lines in /etc/alsa/modutils/0.9, which is 
linked to from /etc/modutils/alsa, and the lines also appear in 
/etc/modules.conf (because I ran update-modules):

alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-card-cs4236
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
options snd major=116 cards_limit=1 device_mode=0660 device_gid=29

mpu_port=0x220 fm_port=0x388 irq=5 mpu_irq=7 dma1=1 dma2=0

What I have is identical to what you said except that I removed 'snd_' 
from all the options.

(I added my user account to the 'audio' group too, by the way.)

Is it correct that the snd and soundcore modules should only be loading 
after I try to play a sound, and not at boot?

And what does the 'aplay: main:447: audio open error: No such file or 
directory' error mean?  I searched this mailing list but couldn't find 
anything conclusive on it.

As recommended in another email I found, I ran 
'/usr/share/doc/alsa-base/examples/snddevices' to create all the 
required audio devices, and that ran successfully but had no effect on 
the problem.

Use alsamixer for unmuting, then aplay (in alsa-utils). If aplay
produces sound, it is ok.


When I run 'alsamixer' I get this error:
alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or 
directory

 Being able to use old OSS only programs with alsa is a matter on 
itself...

How do I know when a program is trying to use OSS instead of alsa?


Currently, there is no complete automatic installation process for
Debian. Depending on your card, you may try stable or unstable 0.9 
drivers.

Are you saying that the 0.9 drivers are unstable?  Should I try using 
0.5 instead?

Thank you again for any help.

[Alsa-user] 'snddevices' isn't creating the necessary devices?

2003-02-03 Thread Brian Kendig
aplay says 'main:447: audio open error: No such file or directory' and 
amixer says 'Mixer attach default error: No such file or directory', so 
I'm suspecting that '/usr/share/doc/alsa-base/examples/snddevices' 
isn't actually being successful at creating the devices I need...

It creates the directory '/dev/snd' which is a symbolic link to 
'/proc/asound/dev' which is empty.  Should that be empty?  If not, how 
do I give it what it needs?

I edited 'snddevices' to change STATIC=0 to STATIC=1, then I ran it 
again.  Now it creates a directory '/dev/snd' which contains 'seq', 
'timer', and several files whose names start with 'pcm', 'midi', 'hw', 
and 'control'.  But aplay still gives me the same 'no such file or 
directory' error, even when I run '/etc/init.d/alsa restart'.

What devices need to exist, and why aren't they being created?

(By the way -- the kernel I'm using, from the package 
'kernel-image-2.4.19-686', supports devfs but I'm not using it.  Could 
this be affecting the problem?)

[Alsa-user] Yet another i8x0 problem -- No Sound.

2003-02-06 Thread Brian Krisler
I am sure I am overlooking something stupid.

I see no errors in my log files, and everything is
installed correctly (I think).  But I have no sound.
I am using RedHat 8.0.  I used the alsa RPMS from
freshrpms.net.  After install, I used aumix to adjust
volumes.  I installed the alsa plugin for xmms.  And
set it as my output filter. I tried both Gnome and KDE
sounds apps.  No luck.

Below are my configs.

Any suggestions?

Thanks, that did the trick!  I knew it was something stupid!

Note to others: When using the alsamixer, look at the top of the
bars, if it says MM the channel is muted.  Hit 'M' and unmute it.

[Alsa-user] How to debug alsamixer error?

2003-02-13 Thread Brian Krisler
Since I upgraded my Kernel in redhat, I lost sound.
I believe it is just that after reinstalling the alsa driver,
the levels are muted, but when ever I try to run alsamixer,
I get the following:

% alsamixer

alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory

The code is compiled from sources:
 alsa-driver-0.9.0rc7

I also tried the Psyche rpms from freshrpms.net.  Same results.

Which file or directory is it not finding?  This would help me in tracking 
down the problem.

FYI, I already ran ./snddevices, with no luck

[Alsa-user] static when recording from microphone

2011-07-13 Thread Brian Pike
Hi,
I've got a Compaq Presario 12XL505 laptop with a VT82C686 sound chip. 
Playing sound works fine.  However, when I record sound using an external 
microphone, there is static recorded along with the sound. The microphone 
and microphone jack seem to be working fine, since there is no static when 
I have the microphone's input played immediately (i.e., when I change the 
Mic setting in the Playback view of alsamixer).  The microphone also 
sounds fine when used on another computer.

I've tried recording with different settings and different programs, and I 
even compiled a newer version of alsa-driver (1.0.24) using 
alsa-compile.sh, but the problem remains.  Any suggestions?

By the way, the output of alsa-info.sh (when using the ALSA drivers 
included in Debian's linux-image-2.6.32-5-686 package) is available at
http://pastebin.com/jSRzJLrW
Please let me know if you want any other information.

Thanks,
Brian Pike

Re: [Alsa-user] static when recording from microphone

2011-07-13 Thread Brian Pike
The "static" is continuous additional noise, which I would describe as a 
low hum with an additional bouncing crackle.  But I've posted a 300 
kilobyte .wav file that I recorded in a quiet room:
   http://www.unc.edu/~bapike/alsa/hum.wav
and spectra here (using two different horizontal scales):
   http://www.unc.edu/~bapike/alsa/spectrum-log.png

[Alsa-user] ICE 1724 requires reboots

2013-02-14 Thread Brian Martin
I've been pulling my hair out for a week chasing down an 
intermittentsound problem. I could usesome help on what to try next.

I have a Vantec UGT-S110 sound card using the ICE1724 chip.  On boot-up 
I either get good sound or none at all.  If it doesn't work, nothing I 
can do will make it work.  If it works, itworks fine until the next time 
I need to reboot.  It seems to work on about 40% of the boots.

I'm running this on Ubuntu 12.04 with all the latest maintenance.  I'll 
include kernel information, etc, in the aadebug output later in this post.

As a diagnostic, I uninstalled PulseAudio. This didn't alter the problem 
at all, so PA isn't part of the problem. For testing purpose, I use 
aplay and a known good .wav file.

I've checked connections, replaced, speakers, etc., so I think those are 
pretty well out of the picture.  I've reseated the card.

One complication is my video card, which supports sound output via HDMI. 
I've blacklisted the appropriate module to make sure ALSA isn't trying 
to push sound out the wrong card. After blacklisting, "aplay -L" and 
"aplay -l" don't list the HDMI audio output, so I *think* that's out of 
the picture.

Below are two listings of "aadebug" (a script I found in an ALSA 
troubleshooting FAQ).  The first one was taken when the card works.  The 
second one was taken when the card doesn't work. Most of the differences 
are in date stamps or interrupt counts, but the broken one also 
indicates that snd_seq_dummy is loaded.  I don't know why that's loaded, 
or if it's a root cause or just a symptom. I have another one aadebug 
output that seems to show a failure when snd_seq_dummy wasn't loaded, 
though I'm wondering if that was a case of experimental error.

I'm happy to supply other information if you tell me what you need. Does 
anyone have any suggestions or advice on what to try next?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.  I've spent way too many 
hours on this, and could use a hand.

-Brian Martin

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond, and for your assistance.

This card is mentioned in the change log for 1.0.18, which is prior to 
my version 1.0.25, so I assumed it was supported (ref: 
http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Changes_v1.0.18_v1.0.19#ICE1724_driver).
 
It's obviously being worked on, since there are fixes for it. Is it 
still under development, perhaps?

Here's the info. Kdiff3 says that the only differences are the values 
for MT10, MT12, MT14.

Thank you for clearing that up for me.  I thought if the chip was 
supported, the manufacturer didn't make much difference.  Now I know better.

rmmod snd_ice1724 followed by modprobe snd_ice1724 restored sound. I had 
to log out of my graphical session and use a tty session (e.g. 
ctl-alt-F1) for this in order for the driver to be not be in use, but it 
worked.

Obviously that's a valuable workaround.  What does it tell us about 
avoiding the problem altogether?

Thank again for the help.

[Alsa-user] Delta 44

2013-09-26 Thread Brian Sorahan
Hi,
I just bought an M Audio Delta 44 for recording music on my desktop at
home, but can not seem to get any sound out of it. I bought this card
because it sounded like it was supported by ALSA, so I am deeply
discouraged that I haven't been able to get it working.

I have tried installing envy24control because that seemed to be a popular
recommendation on the ubuntu forums, and when I run speaker-test with this
up (on the PCM Monitor tab) the level meters are actually lighting up.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Here is some info about my system:

[Alsa-user] enumerate MIDI devices

2017-02-22 Thread Brian Sorahan
Hi all,

I am hoping to get some guidance on how to properly use the information I
get when I list MIDI devices.
I'm tinkering with this code
https://github.com/scgolang/midi/blob/d50a32b1725ae42044c84f02a53c69004926bd93/midi_linux.go#L94-L152
which seems to list MIDI devices ok.
But if I prefer to use the RawMIDI API to actually connect to the device is
this a reasonable way to formulate the device ID?
https://github.com/scgolang/midi/blob/d50a32b1725ae42044c84f02a53c69004926bd93/midi_linux.go#L125
I'm guessing there is a better way to implement this, but I'm pretty new to
the Sequencer API so I'm not sure what that better way might look like.
Does it even make sense to use the Sequencer API to list devices, but then
use the RawMIDI API to open, read, and write?
The code I'm sharing is hopefully readable for C programmers despite the
fact that it is Go.
Thanks in advance for any feedback!

[Alsa-user] tracks "slow-w-w-w-w-wed down"

2007-05-26 Thread Brian Hagen
I am basically familiar with Audacity more than any other app. I want to 
be able
to slow down playback of an audio track without altering the pitch. So 
far, I
have used the "sox" utility with its "stretch effect" as an option. This 
yields
"kinda-sorta  the intended result", however the playback of the output 
file contains
a rather irritating ring-modulation-like effect. I take it that such is 
an inherent result of
the function's process although I am not enough of a physics expert to 
know for certain.

Is there a means to achieve this slowdown without the distortion? I have
in mind a means to make it easier to transcribe recordings of players 
who are
doing "really-fast" playing, e.g. rock-guitar solos and so forth.

[Alsa-user] HELP!! No Sound - Asus P4PE (Intel 845)

2003-06-14 Thread Brian Hanks
I've tried everything to no avail.  My Asus P4PE (Intel 845 w/ AD1980)
will not produce sound on my fully patched RedHat 9 system.  Judging by
the number of postings about this same subject without resolution, I am
making the assumption that I am not alone.

I've tried to use the default sound - No Luck.  
I've tried the alsa packages from FreshRPMs - No Luck.
And, most recently, I've tried to build the source downloaded straight
from alsa-project.org - No Luck.

The sound modules appear to load fine, but there is no sound.  I've
tried plugging the speakers into the microphone jack and countless other
suggestions from various postings.  No luck.

The same process that I am using for this board works fine on two other
systems that I have which use VIA chipsets.  

Does anyone out there have this working?  If so, please help the rest of
us.

Here is my /etc/modules.conf for the alsa stuff:
# Audio Driver (alsa)
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0

[Alsa-user] Asus P4PE - Modules Load Fine, but No Sound

2003-06-19 Thread Brian Hanks
I've tried everything to no avail.  My RedHat 9 system built on an Asus

I've tried plugging the speakers into the microphone jack as suggested
in some postings without any luck.  I've triple check the audio cables
from both of my CD-ROM drives without any luck.  I've booted this system
into Windows and everything works fine.  I've adjusted the volumes of
every possible setting in alsamixer without any luck.  

Everything appears to be working.  The CD Player app fires up
perfectly.  It just doesn't make any noise.

I have successfully managed to get this functioning on two other RedHat

[Alsa-user] ALC650 is out to eat your bass

2003-12-23 Thread Brian McGroarty
I've got an Abit AT7 motherboard with RealTek ALC650 audio.

It sounds okay with 5.1 speakers, but when I plug headphones in, it's
piss: no bass at all. It seems like everything under 200Hz has been
completely filtered from the left/right channels. The result is like
some kind of a high-frequency skull drill.

Exploring the alsamixer options, I tried disabling the center/bass
output but there's no difference in the basic stereo output. Still no
bass.

/proc/asound/card0/ac97#0 shows a "Loudness" option which I suspect
may be helpful if it's like "loudness" on old radios (basically a bass
boost), but I can't find any corresponding mixer setting.

===START===

0-0/0: Avance Logic ALC650 rev 0

Capabilities :
DAC resolution   : 20-bit
ADC resolution   : 18-bit

Loudness : off
Mono output  : MIX
Mic select   : Mic1
ADC/DAC loopback : off
Extended ID  : codec=0 rev=1 AMAP LDAC SDAC CDAC DSA=0 SPDIF DRA VRA
Extended status  : SPCV LDAC SDAC CDAC SPDIF=3/4 VRA

PCM LFE DAC  : 44100Hz
PCM ADC  : 48000Hz
SPDIF Control: Consumer PCM Copyright Category=0x2 Generation=1 Rate=44.1kHz

===END===

Anyone know how to keep it from eating all the bass, or am I stuck on
that?

If I got a DAC box for the S/PDIF output, would the output there be
any better? I'm out of PCI slots, so I'd like to avoid adding a new
sound card as it means a whole new motherboard.

[Alsa-user] 2.6 kernel won't compile if sequencer is a module

2004-02-28 Thread Brian Kendig
I've found what I believe might be a bug in the Alsa code in the Linux 
2.6.[0-3] kernel, or at least is a problem with the Makefile.  The 
problem is that if (in 'make menuconfig') I specify that the sequencer 
should be a module, I get a bunch of errors when I try to make the 
kernel.  If I say that the sequencer should be built-in, then 
compilation works fine.

The particular option in question in .config is 
'CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER=m'.  With that set, when I compile the kernel, I 
get a whole bunch of 'undefined reference' errors in sound/built-in.o.  
Changing that to 'CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER=y' allows the kernel to compile 
cleanly.  I'm setting it by using 'make menuconfig', which is supposed 
to prevent me from setting it to something it shouldn't be set to, 
right?

A copy of my .config which causes the error is at:
http://www.enchanter.net/linuxhelp/dot.config
And a log of the failed compile is at:
http://www.enchanter.net/linuxhelp/make.errors
It's odd that the errors all involve functions named 'snd_opl3_...'  I 
don't have any OPL3 settings in my .config file.

Is this really a problem with the build process?  Who should I report 
it to?  Or is it something I'm doing wrong?

[Alsa-user] Maudio Dio 2496 S/PDIF

2004-03-03 Thread Brian Huffman
All,

Sorry to cross-post, but I have spent quite some time trying to figure this
out (and a lot of googling too).  I'm trying to setup the Maudio DiO 2496 using
the S/PDIF Optical outputs...mainly I'm trying to get mythtv to work, but I"ve
been unsuccessful with ALSA on this card for anything ranging from mythtv to
mplayer to xine.  

If I just point to /dev/dsp it uses the OSS emulation and it works (even
with the optical), but trying to specify the alsa drivers in mplayer or xine, I
get anything ranging from no sound to errors on alsa_init.  I've tried to play
with the alsamixer commandline but I'm very confused by the options here.  I've
also used the envy24control with no good results.  

In addition, MythTV doesn't seem to allow me to specify anything like
"ALSA:hw:0,0" or "ALSA:default" or really anything other than what's in the
pulldown box on the frontend setup...so even if I can get xine or mplayer
working from the commandline, I'm not quite sure what to do here.  Can anyone
help?

The reason that I'm trying to use ALSA instead of the OSS emulation is that
#1 I'm assuming the quality may be betterI'm currently getting some pops /
clicks in mythtv using the OSS.  And I am also trying to get the ac3 out to my
receiver - which I'm not sure can be done with the OSS emulation.  

Thanks in advance!
Brian

[Alsa-user] maudio dio 2496 troubles

2004-03-05 Thread Brian Huffman
All,
I'm still having problems with the maudio dio 2496.  Has anyone been
successful getting this card to work using native ALSA with the S/PDIF Optical
outputs?  I've tried many different things, but am unable to do this
successfully.  I'm trying to output to a stereo amp and do various things
including playing a DVD via xine.  Whenever I specify to use the alsa audio
driver, I get no sound.  I do see that something is happening b/c the amp has a
LED that blinks showing something is happening on the optical interface. 

I've tried using other applications as well specifying hw:0,0 and plughw:0,0
also with no luck.  I am not using any special .asoundrc file

In some cases I've seen errors saying something like "sample rate not
supported." but I'm not quite sure what to do about that.  Xine doesn't give
that error though, it just happily runs w/o any sound.

Any help would be appreciated.
Brian

[Alsa-user] ice1712 / envy24 problems - please help!

2004-03-24 Thread Brian Huffman
I have an MAudio Deltio DiO 2496 sound card that I'm trying to use for simple
playback and I can't seem to get to the end of my problems.  OSS emulation
playback has pops / clicks.   And I'm unable to get native ALSA to work in some
programs.  

Is there any way to turn debugging on in the drivers?  Whenever the software
tries to initialize the sound card w/ the snd_pcm_hw_params the error "Invalid

I'd like to be able to see which parameter is failing so that I can either make
changes to the software or perhaps create some .asoundrc that will fix the
problem.

[Alsa-user] How do I get USB audio to work?

2004-03-29 Thread Brian Kendig
My Dell laptop is running a fully-up-to-date SuSE 9.0 with kernel 
2.6.5-rc2.  Internal audio works fine on it, but I have a pair of Apple 
USB Speakers that don't make any sound at all on it (though they work 
fine on my Mac).

I've gone into alsamixer and tried raising all of the sliders, but 
nothing seems to have any effect.  I've included relevant system 
information below.  What am I missing, how do I get USB audio to work?

Re: [Alsa-user] How do I get USB audio to work?

2004-03-29 Thread Brian Kendig
Thanks for those instructions.  I didn't realize I had to set up USB 
audio as a second sound card.  I did that, and rebooted to make sure the 
edits to modprobe.conf took hold; now 'alsamixer -c1' shows sliders fot 
USB audio, but I still can't get any sound out of it.

What happens when you run "aplay -Dplughw:1 something.wav"?
 

There is a delay of exactly as long as the file takes to play with 
'-Dplughw:0', then I get another shell prompt, as if the system thought 
the audio was playing, but there is only silence.  It works fine with 
sound card 0 (built-in audio), but sound card 1 (USB audio) generates 
only silence.

I don't know whether this output from dmesg is relevant:

Looks as if the volume isn't set.
I've gone into 'alsamixer -c1' and turned all the levels for the USB 
speakers up to their maximums, but still the USB speakers seem to play 
silence.  (They work fine on my Mac, though.)

What is the output of "lsusb -v"?

Did you unmute the speakers?
I think they're unmuted.  When I go into 'alsamixer -c1' it shows me 
five sliders.  'Bass', 'Treble', and 'PCM' are at 100.  'Bass Boo' and 
'Auto Gai' I can't adjust.  None of the sliders have 'MM' above them, so 
I don't think any of them are muted.  I can press the 'M' key and that 
puts 'MM' above PCM, Auto Gai, or Bass Boo, but it doesn't have any 
effect on the lack of sound from the USB speakers.

Here's what amixer has to say about the USB audio:

Might I have to change any settings on the laptop's internal audio, or 
disable it completely, for USB audio to work?  Do I have to tell XMMS 
and KDE and other apps to play through card 1 (USB) instead of card 0 
(internal), or will ALSA always try to play all audio through all 
available sound cards?

Yes.
I figured out how to change the output device in XMMS, but the USB 
speakers still aren't making any sound, and "aplay -Dplughw:1 
/usr/share/sounds/alsa/test.wav" still pauses for a few seconds before 
returning without errors.  It's as if the system *thinks* USB audio is 
working, but it's not.  I've turned up all the volume levels for the USB 
speakers and they don't appear to be muted, so I'm still at a loss for 
why they might not be working.

If you have any other ideas I'd appreciate hearing them; thank you for 
all the suggestions you've provided so far.

[Alsa-user] emu10k1 woes... only mono capture from aux

2006-01-23 Thread Brian Dunn
I'm running alsa 1.0.10 on my SB Live! Value and i need some help with
capture settings.
my shoe-string budget studio features a soundcard with a blown line
in.  I need stereo input so i can capture two live channels at the
same time in ardour.  I've wired up a head phone jack to the aux in
port on the side of the card, and i can verify that it's picking up
two distinct channels from my mixer under M$ using the kX drivers. 
but in jack, only the pcm capture_1 carries a signal.  capture_2 is
totaly dead.  the mixer for emu10k1 is less than intuitive. i was
going to post the output of
alsactl -f ./settings store
but it's like 3061 lines and has 202 defined controlls... so please
let me know what configs to post, or what to grep for.
thanks ahead of time, and all you developers keep up the good work,
and thanks for helping make my shoe-string studio possible.

and output as an independent JACK port.Lee

I see Input Device: and have set that  to hw:0,2 and 
i see Output Device: hw:0,3

and still i've only got sound coming out of alsa_pcm capture_1 in the connections dialog. :-(

if anyone has a working setup, maybe you could post your qjackctl
config and/or alsactl config or email it directly to me, that would be
awesome.
thanks.

Wow thanks.  At first it still wasn't working, then started fiddling
with the mixer and i guess some how after wiggling all relevant input
knobs it started working. I didn't really change any of the settings,
just wiggled the knobs.  now i have stereo input in jack, just like i
always wanted. thanks all.

[Alsa-user] Routing the Emu10k1 wavetable to the rear speakers

2006-02-06 Thread Brian Dunn
I read somewhere that the rear output DACs on my SBLive Value are
superior to the front ones, so my monitors are connected to the rear
out.  I'm using qsynth with jack when i'm focusing on audio, but it
seemslike a shame to have that wave table and whopping 13megs of DRAM
just sitting there... It would be nice to asfxload some small GM
soundfont so i can tinker with ditties without having to run jack (
witch is inconvinient when i'm compiling, or have 13 firefox windows
and some open office going on ).  It seems there should be some way to
route the synth channel to the rear speakers... maybe with an
.asoundrc file? has anybody done this?
Thankfull,
Brian

[Alsa-user] Mute toggle script for 'wave surround' on emu10k1

2006-03-03 Thread Brian Dunn
Greetings all.
I would like to have a mute toggle for my 'wave surround' channel, as
it's the slider for the rear speaker output jack on my sbLive! value. 
I've written a bash script to do it like this:
#---
mute.sh
# Note: this must be run like ". mute.sh"
# Check if the Wave Surround level is already 0
VOL=`amixer sget 'Wave Surround' | grep 'Front Left:' | cut
--delimiter=' '  --fields=6`
if [ $VOL -gt 0 ]; then
#mute
#store the current wave surround volume in LASTVOL
LASTVOL=`amixer sget 'Wave Surround' | grep 'Front Left:' | cut
--delimiter=' '  --fields=6`
#turn the sound all the way down.
amixer sset 'Wave Surround' 0
else
#unmute
amixer sset 'Wave Surround' $LASTVOL
fi
#
Maybe this will be usefull to someone out there.  Also, any
suggestions on how i could make this simpler / beter are welcome.  (
Like for example i should probably learn to use sed or awk instead of
piping through both grep and cut )

God Bless,
Brian

[Alsa-user] Need basic assistance with onboard sound and multiple sound streams...

2006-06-12 Thread Brian Keener
I've used a SoundBlaster Live for a long time under linux. 
Apparantly I've been spoiled by the SB Live's hardware mixing ability;
I can't get the on-board Nforce3 (snd_intel8x0) to mix multiple sound
streams.

What can I realistically expect from Alsa?  Can I expect to have
gaim, XMMS, and VMWare all play sounds simultaneous to the onboard
sound?

Dmix does not work with OSS emulation.  It only works with apps thatsupport ALSA natively.  Ask the Skype and VMWare developers when theywill be adding ALSA support.You could also try to run the OSS apps with the aoss wrapper but it does
not work with all apps.LeeHmm, not sure how my reply got sent directly to you instead of the list.Anyway, the alsa soundcard matrix doesn't reflect my Yamaha YMF724 having a hardware mixer.
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/index.php?vendor=vendor-Yamaha#matrixPerhaps that should be updated, that actually would have been useful information to have before I spent the last month trying to figure out why it worked for the Yamaha but not for my on-board sound.

Tried installing the latest beta without success.  Just booted back into
kernel 2.4.8-26 and it all works again (with the lastest beta
installed).

I read something in the INSTALL file about needing the kernel source
installed, but wouldn't this prevent it compiling if this were the
problem?

Any help appreciated.

thanks
Brian

[Alsa-user] can't make alsa-driver-0.9.0beta10 with kernel 2.4.17-8mdk

2002-01-23 Thread Brian Parish

I have installed kernel 2.4.17-8mdk together with sources.  configure is
happy:


./configure --with-kernel=/usr/src/linux-2.4.17-8mdk

finds the source.

make is happy:

ALSA modules were successfully compiled.

then make install does this:

mkdir -p /lib/modules/2.4.17-8mdk/misc
rm -f /lib/modules/2.4.17-8mdk/misc/snd*.o
/lib/modules/2.4.17-8mdk/misc/persist.o
/lib/modules/2.4.17-8mdk/misc/isapnp.o
cp modules/*.o /lib/modules/2.4.17-8mdk/misc
/sbin/depmod -a
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.4.17-8mdk/kernel/fs/minix/minix.o.gz
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.4.17-8mdk/kernel/fs/sysv/sysv.o.gz
make: *** [install-modules] Error 1

Does this mean that alsa beta10 won't work with this kernel?

[Alsa-user] sb live dma buffer alloc failure?

2003-02-04 Thread Brian J. Tarricone
forgive me for cross-posting, but i've found references to this problem 
on both lists, so...

also... i wrote this email, then checked alsa-project.org, and noticed 
that rc7 was out... so the first part of this details my problems with 
rc6, and the second part rc7.  sorry this is a bit long, please bear 
with me.

my 0.9.0_rc6 woes:

after adding another 128mb of ram to my machine (bringing the total up 
to 640mb), i started seeing sound problems after my system was running 
for a while.  specifically, i'd get something along the lines of:

ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:297:(snd_pcm_hw_hw_params) SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_HW_PARAMS 
failed: Cannot allocate memory

(note: the pcm_hw.c line number is possibly incorrect; as i rebooted my 
machine i couldn't immediately reproduce the problem and so copied the 
error string from another user with the same problem back in november.)

i ran a search thru google, and came up with a couple posts to both 
these lists, dated last november.  apparently (my details may be a 
little off) the sb live! can only make use of 29-bit addresses for DMA, 
which only allows access to the first 512mb of ram.  to make matters 
worse, the snd-emu10k1 driver dynamically allocates and frees DMA memory 
every time an application opens and closes the pcm device, so as my 
machine runs longer it becomes harder to find free ram in the first 
512mb of memory.

i found a patch - a hack to change the allocation method:
http://www.mail-archive.com/alsa-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg05382.html
unfortunately, this doesn't work on my machine.  'aplay somefile.wav' 
just hangs right after printing the wave file stats (sample rate, etc.), 
and the process refuses to die even with a 'kill -9'.  this of course 
makes it impossible to unload the driver module, as it thinks it's being 
used.

so then i noticed rc7, and tried that (unpatched, fresh from the website).

things are somewhat worse.  i load up xmms, and start playing mp3s.  
things seem fine, playing for hours until i get bored of some songs, put 
it on random play, and keep hitting "next song" until i find something i 
feel like listening to.  if i press 'next' roughly once per second, 
after about 15-20 songs xmms locks up hard and jumps to using 100% cpu.  
kill -9 doesn't work, and any other app that tries to use the pcm device 
locks as well.  i have to reboot to fix it.

anyone have any ideas?

thanks,
brian

Just to close the loop on this for anyone who finds the same problem, a
newer kernel did indeed solve the problem.

[Alsa-user] per host .asoundrc on shared $HOME

2007-06-06 Thread Brian J. Murrell
I have a shared home dir on multiple machines.  I have a .asoundrc file
for my local workstation but it contains stuff that is local to this
machine.  When I go to another machine the stuff that's in my
~/.asoundrc is not relevant.

Is there a way to make a per-host specific .asoundrc file?

Won't work.  .asoundrc is read by applications when they run, not just
login time.  So if I am logged into two machines at the same time how
does each machine read it's own version of the file?  The answer is they
won't.  It's a race.  Both machines will read the file as generated by
the machine I last logged into.

The real answer here is that this should be a per-machine resource, not
a per-user (only) resource.

This is way beyond "listening to music" though.  This is libasound
wanting to open ~/.asoundrc every time an application that is linked
with libasound is started up, like even just gvim.  If the .asoundrc
references devices that don't exist on a machine, starting application
causes a spew of errors.

Exactly.  One solution, although it's totally hacky is to have the login
shell (or process, such as gdm in the case of a desktop login) create
the .asoundrc in a non-shared dir like /tmp (say, .asoundrc-brian) on
all machines and symlink ~/.asoundrc to the /tmp/.asoundrc-brian.

But as I say this is a hack and something that I think libasound should
handle more gracefully.

It's interesting to note at this point that DG/UX had an interesting
libc implementation where in portions of the filesystem namespace you
could put env. vars in a pathname:  PATH=...:/usr/lib/$ARCH/bin/cc:...
so that your $PATH would resolve to a different location in the the
filesystem of the machine you were on based on $ARCH in your
environment.  I don't think that was limited to $ARCH.  I think any env.
var worked.

But not user specific.  I want user-specific and host-specific.  This
scenario really is not that uncommon a case, where /home is mounted on
several machines.

Hrm.  Perhaps I'm showing my ignorance in the contents of these files.

Currently my .asoundrc has:

# ALSA library configuration file

# Include settings that are under the control of asoundconf(1).
# (To disable these settings, comment out this line.)


and my .asoundrc.asoundconf has:

ALSA library configuration file managed by asoundconf(1).

!defaults.pcm.card Live
defaults.ctl.card Live
defaults.pcm.device 0
defaults.pcm.subdevice -1
defaults.pcm.nonblock 1
defaults.pcm.ipc_key 5678293
defaults.pcm.ipc_gid audio
defaults.pcm.ipc_perm 0660
defaults.pcm.dmix_max_periods 0
defaults.rawmidi.card 0
defaults.rawmidi.device 0
defaults.rawmidi.subdevice -1
defaults.hwdep.card 0
defaults.hwdep.device 0
defaults.timer.class 2
defaults.timer.sclass 0
defaults.timer.card 0
defaults.timer.device 0
defaults.timer.subdevice 0

As as example, when I go to another machine this is the type of error I
get:

$ gvim
ALSA lib confmisc.c:670:(snd_func_card_driver) cannot find card 'Live'
ALSA lib conf.c:3500:(_snd_config_evaluate) function 
snd_func_card_driver returned error: No such device
ALSA lib confmisc.c:391:(snd_func_concat) error evaluating strings
ALSA lib conf.c:3500:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_concat 
returned error: No such device
ALSA lib confmisc.c:1070:(snd_func_refer) error evaluating name
ALSA lib conf.c:3500:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer 
returned error: No such device
ALSA lib conf.c:3968:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: No such device
ALSA lib pcm.c:2145:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default

Which seems to be a result of the "defaults.ctl.card Live" line in my
~/.asoundrc.asoundconf file.

But this "defaults.ctl.card" looks like it's a personal preference and
that another user might have a different card (on the machine with the
'Live' card in it) as their default when they are logged on so putting
that into /etc/asoundrc does not seem appropriate.

So how would I restructure the above into /etc/asoundrc so that I don't
get the "cannot find card 'Live'" errors on another machine that does
not have this "Live" card in it?

I didn't set anything explicitly.  Apparently (as underlined above)
asoundconf(1) did.

I suppose asoundconf(1) knows what they mean.

Re: [Alsa-user] Problems with INTEL audio card

2007-12-01 Thread Brian L Scipioni
Glad I saw this, this exact problem has been driving me crazy for a
while.  Sometimes the sounds works, sometimes it does not.

I noticed that the bug report has been closed - NOTABUG. a configuration
problem.  I'm sorry, but when the sound does not work on an
out-of-the-box install, something is just plain broken.

So the solution is for everyone to examine all their modules to
determine the correct loading sequence, and then blacklist certain
modules?  I can't believe they left it at that.

Can someone here voice an opinion: is this an ALSA issue or fedora
issue?  Why does it just happen to certain select people (I assume it is
a rare problem).

thanks,
brian

Re: [Alsa-user] Problems with INTEL audio card

Even the Fedora soundcard detection tool is not outputting any sound for
me, although my sound is working perfectly (this time around).  The tool
used to work just fine.  I am going to reopen that bug and see if
someone can straighten this out.

I'd like to hear from anyone else having this problem (some boots the
sound works, some boots it doesn't)

Re: [Alsa-user] Distortion via SPDIF

Is your receiver's DTS indicator light still lit after you decode with
MPlayer?

Do you reset (re-synch) your receiver after changing the format coming
across your SPDIF?

Well, that's working correctly then.  (Sometimes you have to change

[Alsa-user] FM801

2003-12-08 Thread Brian M Dube
Has anyone had any luck with FM801-based cards? The research I've done 
shows many people have problems with this chip. My card works fine when 
I use the forte kernel module, but I can't get any sound with ALSA. 
I've tried 0.9.8 and 1.0.0pre3 with no luck. Even though the kernel 
driver works for me, I'd like to get ALSA to work so that I can use 
ALSA-based software such as Rosegarden with a software synthesizer.

Thanks for any advice,
Brian

Re: [Alsa-user] FM801

2003-12-08 Thread Brian M Dube
To add to my confusion, I noticed the following comment in forte.c (the 
driver that works for me):

"Based upon the ALSA FM801 driver by Jaroslav Kysela and OSS drivers by 
Thomas Sailer, Alan Cox, Zach Brown, and Jeff Garzik."

So the driver that I have no problems with is based on the driver that 
I can't get to work. It's probably a step in the wrong direction, but 
I'm going to merge the differences between the forte kernel module and 
ALSA's fm801 and see what happens. If anyone has a working ALSA fm801 
configuration, I'd be grateful for any tips. I imagine, though, that if 
it works for you, you're probably not reading this list.

Thanks,
Brian

The only message I get in /var/log/messages is:

The modules load fine and I get no errors anywhere in the logs or on 
any command lines. I've tried unmuting different combinations of 
channels, but I get no sound. Master, PCM, and Wave should be enough to 
get at least a sound, right? I made /etc/asound.conf based on the

I will.

I don't have a bar in alsamixer for external amplifier power down and 
it's not reported by amixer as a control or simple mixer control for 
this card. I've never been able to find information about this company 
either. I pulled the card out to give it a look and the sticker on the 
main chip says Diamond Technology DT0398. I'll look around for some 
hardware specifications. I'll also see if I can modify the fm801 module 
source and get it to work since the forte module does in fact work with 
this card in this machine with everything else the same. Thank you very 
much for your time and help this far.

[Alsa-user] midi input (read) not working

2006-01-16 Thread Brian L Scipioni
Hi,
I am running FC3, alsa 1.0.10 with an Audigy 2 Platinum.  Previously I
had been able to both play my midi keyboard and record from it using
Rosegarden, earlier versions of alsa and RedHat 9.  Now I can only play
the keyboard - record doesn't work.  Taking Rosegarden out of the
equation, I used both JACK and aconnect to connect (see below) 64:32
directly to 65:0 and I get nothing playing the keyboard.  Playing, e.g.,

pmidi -p 64:32 PeterGunn.mid or
pmidi -p 65:0 PeterGunn.mid

works just fine. So it seems just the 64:32 read port is not working.
Anyone have any ideas or see this before?

Also, since I can't seem to get udev working right, I have to run the
snddevices script manually after booting, so I should have all the right
device nodes right?  I think I have all the right modules loaded (see
below).

thanks a bunch,

[Alsa-user] midi input (read) not working ALSA 1.0.10 FC3 Audigy 2

2006-01-19 Thread Brian L Scipioni
Guys,

I hate to repost this - feel like I'm bugging y'all - but this has
really got me at a standstill.  The one commercial S/W product I own
(Mathemnatica 5.2) forced me to upgrade to FC3, where I can't get midi
to record under ALSA.  (Ironically, the sound is broken now in
Mathematica 5.2 under Linux (FC3), and they are not going to fix it in
this version!).  At least could someone tell me whether they've heard of
this problem or not?

I am running FC3, alsa 1.0.10 with an Audigy 2 Platinum.  Previously I
had been able to both play my midi keyboard and record from it using
Rosegarden, earlier versions of alsa and RedHat 9.  Now I can only play
the keyboard - record doesn't work.  Taking Rosegarden out of the
equation, I used both JACK and aconnect to connect (see below) 64:32

works just fine. So it seems just the 64:32 read port is not working.
Anyone have any ideas or see this before?

snddevices script manually after booting, so I should have all the right
device nodes right?  I think I have all the right modules loaded (see

2006-01-29 Thread Brian L Scipioni
If you are using JACK, why don't you use ac3jack?

http://essej.net/ac3jack/

it encodes ac3 on-the-fly - works fine for me

[Alsa-user] can't seem to get ac3 passthrough working with ymfpci

2006-09-28 Thread Brian J. Murrell
I've been trying and trying and I just can't seem to get DD/DTS/AC3 to
work.  My receiver receives PCM just fine so at least I know the
physical bits are working.

I have tried both mplayer and ac3dec to drive the card into decoding AC3
but no luck.  I believe I have the mixer settings correct.  In fact I
think I have everything unmuted and at somewhere in the 2/3 volume
range.  I have IEC958 Loop disabled/muted and Direct Recording Source
set to IEC958.

When I use say mplayer to play a raw ac3 file (which it can downmix and
play analog through the liba52 codec) with:

# mplayer -v -ao alsa -afm hwac3 
/video/Bjorn_Lynne-A-Lifetime-Of-Moments_\(5-1_surround\).ac3

mplayer tells me:

Trying to force audio codec driver family hwac3...

But still the receiver does not kick into DD to decode.

ac3dec shows/does:

# ac3dec -C /video/Bjorn_Lynne-A-Lifetime-Of-Moments_\(5-1_surround\).ac3 
Using PCM device 'plug:iec958:{AES0 0x2 AES1 0x82 AES2 0x0 AES3 0x2}'
AC3 Stream 48.0 KHz 448 kbps

But again, no DD decoding.

Any ideas?

Ahhh.  Sorry.  It's a Hoontech XG (IIRC).

Not surprising from Nvidia.

Hrm.  Is there a browsable source repo anywhere so I can see if there is
anything relevant for that driver before I embark on a whole building
and installation adventure?


> So you use the ymfpci driver?

I do.

> Clemens, don't you have this hardware?  Should it work?

I would love if somebody were to raise their hand and just tell me it
does work for them.  That will give me hope to continue to poke around
and see what is wrong with mine.
