Hello! I have a GravisPnP and a GUS ACE soundcard in my computer. I compile the 2001-09-20 CVS export, with the 2.4.9 kernel. When I start the "alsaconf" I get the next messages: Error parsing snd-ainstr-gf1.filename: filename^: /lib/modules/2.4.9/misc/snd-ainstr-gf1.o snd-ainstr-gf1.filename skipped Error parsing snd-ainstr-gf1.description: description^: "Advanced Linux Sound Architecture GF1 (GUS) Patch support." snd-ainstr-gf1.description skipped Error parsing snd-ainstr-gf1.author: author^: "Jaroslav Kysela <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" snd-ainstr-gf1.author skipped Error parsing snd-ainstr-iw.filename: pcx filename^: /lib/modules/2.4.9/misc/snd-ainstr-iw.ox snd-ainstr-iw.filename skipped ... It because the 2.4.9 kernel??? Other... When I play a SHORT wav with aplay: aplay /dos/c/windows/tada.wav Playing WAVE '/dos/c/windows/tada.wav' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 22050 Hz, Mono xrun!!! (at least 0.428 ms long) And I hear a click and a little pause et the end.

When I want to use my ACE GF1 pcm, the same: aplay -D hw:1,0 /dos/c/windows/tada.wav I get the next message: Playing WAVE '/dos/c/windows/tada.wav' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 22050 Hz, Mono aplay: set_params:744: Access type not available When I start alsaplayer: /alsaplayer -d hw:1,0 /dos/c/windows/tada.wav AlsaPlayer 0.99.50-alpha1 (C) 1999-2001 Andy Lo A Foe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and others.

Through the OSS interface I could use the GusACE pcm (why not an oss device to the second PCM e.g. audio01 or something like?): mpg123 -a /dev/audio1 .. sound (more or less) good, but say: ALSA pcm_lib.c:180: Unexpected hw_pointer value (stream = 0, delta: -107, max jitter = 8192): wrong interrupt acknowledge? ALSA pcm_lib.c:180: Unexpected hw_pointer value (stream = 0, delta: -126, max jitter = 8192): wrong interrupt acknowledge?

ALSA pcm_lib.c:180: Unexpected hw_pointer value (stream = 0, delta: -121, max jitter = 8192): wrong interrupt acknowledge? ... Other... Why my Gravis ACE has a Master, Line and Mic Switch on alsamixer??? There is no Line and Mic on ACE, and no control on synth out!! (But has a joystick port without an external connector!! So, if we could disable it, will be a good thing!) my /etc/asound.state ... state.GusACE { control.1 { comment.access 'read write' comment.type BOOLEAN iface MIXER name 'Master Playback Switch' value true } control.2 { comment.access 'read write' comment.type BOOLEAN iface MIXER name 'Line Switch' value false } control.3 { comment.access 'read write' comment.type BOOLEAN iface MIXER name 'Mic Switch' value false } control.4 { comment.access 'read write' comment.type INTEGER comment.range '0 - 127' iface MIXER name 'PCM Playback Volume' value.0 64 value.1 64 } } And when we use a midi-synth device on GUS cards?????
