Re: [Alsa-user] Donation Recommendation? - 24-bit sound card
I'm going to donate a 24-bit capable sound card to the mpd project to add 24-bit support. Can anyone recommend an inexpensive one that is 24-bit capable and PCI, PCIe, or USB? For inexpensive, I believe one of the CMI cards would be a good choice. Note, I haven't any and you want to check specific support for (the exact chip on) the one you'd get but as far as I'm aware, any current CMI chip does 24-bit. I'm thinking I'll get either the Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit or Sound Blaster Audigy, both PCI. These both support 24-bit playback and are supported in Linux, but can I count on 24-bit *in* Linux? - Grant - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user

Re: [Alsa-user] Donation Recommendation? - 24-bit sound card
I picked up a Delta 44 (pci / ice1712) off of craigslist for $100. I would check to see what they need first. The Delta is a fine card, but by the time you add in a microphone preamp, headphone preamp, and stuff just to record / playback stuff. Not to mention the costs of cables and adapters relative to a typical household existing items. Recording wise 24 bit gives you a greater dynamic sampling range. But for most people it's not needed for playback as your CDs and DVDs are already in a 16 bit format. And the benefit on playback is minimal. Aside from generally being a better soundcard, rather than from the media that it will be playing. Are you looking for a card that only does 24 bit? Most that I know of do 16 and 24 bit. And the only 24 bit media I have is that that I created myself. I'm going to donate a 24-bit capable sound card to the mpd project to add 24-bit support.

One of the authors wants to add 24-bit support but needs hardware with 24-bit support so he can test. The reason I'm interested in 24-bit support is I want to buy a particular USB DAC that oversamples everything to 24-bit.

OK, a little more digging and that cmedia link must have had a typo. There is also a chipset called the CMI8788 contained by the bluegears b-Enspirer which is about $100. I've read that CMI cards have good ALSA support. Does this sound like a good one? Sounds a bit expensive -- if I'm not mistaken those cards can be had locally from brands such as Trust and Club 3D but also a nicer brand such as TerraTec for around EUR50. It's a bit hard to make sure as online stores seem to not consider the audio-chipset marketable information. Otherwise, yes, probably okay, but you want to cross-reference tbis with the driver author, placed in CC. I haven't a modern CMI card so wouldn't know about gotchas such as 24-bit for playback and not capture and stuff like that.

Those are the two I have here. mplayer was giving me endless grief actually ripping the tracks from the DVD so I haven't yet done that in fact, but: mplayer -dumpaudio -dumpfile sound_track.wav ./source.vob Granted that my default distro supplied version of mplayer didn't work for this. I had to compile a custom version of mplayer from source. At least that's how it was for debian. At least it's not as bad as RH and others that strip out all mp3 support and such. Although I had to compile lame from source as well on debian. Mainly to get Layer III, versus Layer II type mp3's. Since my mp3 player is picky. It also solved the Audacity issue of exporting mp3's and not finding some lib. I have a number of lower grade historical archives of visual arts programs with insufficient audio. i.e. Normalized to the audio of the announcer, not the group. So I've had to edit the audio and rejoin it to the video to make it viewable (by humans) for all intents and purposes. That and their DVD audio format is 2.1 at best.

mplayer -dumpaudio -dumpfile sound_track.wav ./source.vob I'd have figured that out :-) Didn't work with the 96/24 audio... Well, you could probably do the arecord method. arecord -D copy -t wav -c 2 -f S24_BE -r 96000 audio_track.wav (unverified syntax) Set record to the PCM / VOL device (which I can only do in aumix for some reason). Set the gain / lever for PCM to 50% / tastes. And play the track. Of course it assumes your soundcard is capable, you have copy in .asoundrc, and your soundcard can play 24/96kHz. Although that dvd-audio.sf.net tool might be a better option. Or you might just need the mencoder option of -oac copy -ovc null for mplayer.

Check this out: http://dvd-a.info/Index.asp?stitle=neil+young 2 pages of mainly Neil Young DVD-A releases all containing tracks up to 24bit/176khz. Lots of people are ripping their DVD-A discs with the above tool. DVD-A is extremely uncommon at least over here in the Netherlands. I'd consider it dead and buried, had it not been for the fact that it never lived. SACD did very little here, DVD-A nothing, and currently they're both dead. I also have none. I'm watching Blu-Ray. Might be investing a bit in that... Of course DVD-A is dead, but DVD-Video containing audio won't catch up with this: http://dvd-a.info/Index.asp?stitle=neil+young Blu-Ray surely will but the above is available now. - Grant - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user

Well, you could probably do the arecord method. arecord -D copy -t wav -c 2 -f S24_BE -r 96000 audio_track.wav (unverified syntax) Set record to the PCM / VOL device (which I can only do in aumix for some reason). Set the gain / lever for PCM to 50% / tastes. And play the track. Of course it assumes your soundcard is capable, you have copy in .asoundrc, and your soundcard can play 24/96kHz. That I'd not feel acceptable. The ALSA file plugin is, but I remember trying that as well and it bombing out on something. Don't remeber what anymore and not going to retry right now but I believe it was eventually just an mplayer bug that I ran into and me shrugging and telling that piece of bleep to go bleep itself. So thanks, really, but dreadfully sorry, not going to aggrevate myself tonight endlessly struggling with the Linux videoscape. Will at some other time...

[Alsa-user] Donation Recommendation? - 24-bit sound card
I'm going to donate a 24-bit capable sound card to the mpd project to add 24-bit support. Can anyone recommend an inexpensive one that is 24-bit capable and PCI, PCIe, or USB? - Grant - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
