Re: [Alsa-user] changing usb devices
Hallo, Niv hat gesagt: // Niv wrote: If somebody may direct me to an article I would be thankful. I have several sound devices that change. * a usb sound card with output only * a usb webcam with a microphone * a bluetooth adapter that provides a sound device with my BT headset I don't know BT, but you can specify which usb soundcard should get which card index using the module options vid and pid like: options snd-usb-audio index=1,2 vid=0x0ccd,0x0763 pid=0x0028,0x0117 This will make the usb device with Vendor ID 0ccd and Product ID 0028 always be card index 1, and the device with vid 0763 and pid 0117 be at card index 2. You get the numbers with lsusb. In this example it would also be possible to omit either vid or pid, but if you want to use USB soundcards by the same vendor that share the same vid, this options line will circumvent possible name clashes.

[Alsa-user] Problems with SiS 7018 sound chipset (semaphore not ready)
Hello, I already wrote this mail to lkml, but no one replied so I try it here. I hope I don't bother anybody by doing so *sorry* I own a laptop with a sis7018 sound-chipset and I am running FC4 updated to kernel Linux cehost 2.6.15-1.1831_FC4 (not compiled myself, 2.6.11 does not work either). I never had problems with my soundcard at all but some time ago it suddely stopped to work. I can't remember wether it was a kernel-update or a motherboard exchange made by service engineers. Whenever an application tries to access the sound-device I get messages like the following on syslog: codec_write 0: semaphore is not ready for register 0x2c the same again and again, but different registers: 0x2c, 0x2a 0x2c 0x2c 0x2c 0x2c 0x3a 0x2a When booting up I get a strange message from the pci subsystem: PCI: Failed to allocate mem resource #6:[EMAIL PROTECTED] for :01:00.0 booting with pci=noacpi did not help or change the situation.

Never mind, this is an alsa-lib bug. I'm having the exact same problem
and I can't figure it out - it looks like it should work. You'll have
to wait for a fix.

I'm using SuSE 10.0... lsmod|grep oss iAnd look for something that does not start with snd- This won't work, OSS modules have names like i810_audio. Lee Ok, here's my hole lsmod: (I found nothing that sounds like oss...)

[Alsa-user] ES1371 and rear speakers
Does anyone on the list have an ES1371 (Creative or Ensoniq AudioPCI or SB128). I'm wondering about its capabilities. /proc/asound/devices shows it has two playback devices and one capture devices. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wav]# cat /proc/asound/devices 0: [0- 0]: ctl 8: [0- 0]: raw midi 17: [0- 1]: digital audio playback 16: [0- 0]: digital audio playback 24: [0- 0]: digital audio capture and according to what I've read on google, the LINE-IN jack doubles as the rear line-out. however, speakers (amplified) connected to the line-out produce no sound I try sending a wav to hw:0,1 (should that be the rear channels?) and it shows up on the front speakers. Same thing happens when I send a wav to hw:0,0 is there a command or something I need to issue, to enable the rear outputs? the datasheet for the hardware codec (akm4531) shows two DACs, one with a dedicated line level output and a mixer output, the other with only a mixer output ... this would seem to match up with some stuff I've read on google about the rear speakers being of 'uncontrollable' volume (since there is no gain control indicated in the datasheet) I also tried doing it this way: [EMAIL PROTECTED] wav]# aplay -D rear tada.wav ALSA lib setup.c:548:(add_elem) Cannot obtain info for CTL elem (MIXER,'AC97 2ch-4ch Copy Switch',0,0,0): No such file or directory aplay: main:508: audio open error: No such file or directory I have added amixer shows me, and the very end of this message, since the output is very long. Any suggestions or pointers as to what to look for or what to do next are appreciated.
