Hello, there.
I am new to the list, and not sure if this is a
problem with the drivers, or possibly mp1e, but I
thought I would start here, and at the very least, you
would able to point me in the right direction? I had
a lookback on the archives to see if this problem had
beenposted before, bt couldn't find anything (with the
SF archives had a search feature!)
In case it's relevent, here's the particulars of my
setup:
* Mandrake 8.2 (custom-compiled 2.4.18 kernel)
* SiS 7018 on-board sound card
* GCC version 3.0.4
* mp1e v1.9.2
Previously I was running my SiS 7018 sound card fine
(playing MP3's, videos downloaded from the Internet,
etc.) under ALSA v0.5.12b (using snd-card-trident.o
module). However, I was having problems recording
audio using mp1e (video was fine), and figured it may
have been a problem with the ALSA drivers I was using,
and so decided to "upgrade" to 0.9.0rc2 (yes, I know
it's not an offical release, and only a "release
candidate"). I dowloaded the driver, libs, and utils
packages.
The compile and install went rather smoothly.
Afterwards, I was only able to find snd-trident.o, and
not snd-card-trident.o (I guess it got taken out of
theis newer versin??), I had to use that one
(snd-trident.o). The module loads fine, and I can
play MP3's and videos I download, however, I get a new
error when I try to record using mp1e:
-----
bash$ v4lctl setchannel "45"; mp1e -v
>/pvr/Video/recorded/tv_test01-mp1e.mpeg
mp1e:alsa.c:201: Cannot open ALSA card 0,0 (-500000,
Sound protocol is not compatible)
-----
I have opened alsamixer and cranked everything
(especially the "Capture" settings) up to 100%, but
the error still comes up.
I found alsa.c on my system (it's in the source
directory I built mp1e in), ad I had a look at line
201, in case anything there is relevent. Here is line
201 of alsa.c, as well as some of the lines around it,
and after it (in case they help):
(Note: I numbered the lines myself; they do not appear
in the source code)
--- alsa.c ---
[199] if ((err = snd_pcm_open(&alsa->, card, device,
SND_PCM_OPEN_CAPTURE)) <0)
[200] FAIL("Cannot open ALSA card %d,%d (%d, %s)",
[201] card, device, err, snd_strerror(err));
--- alsa.c ---
>From the above, it looks like an error using the
pcm-oss module (snd-pcm-oss), but I definately have
that one loaded.
TIA for your help and insights,
=====
