Hello alsa folks I finally got some time to update my linux audio setup today for the first time in a couple of months.
My main aim was to test the latest vxpocket driver and see if it works with jackd/ ardour. I installed alsa 0.91 from source, including installing vxloader in /usr/local/bin/vxloader and putting post-install snd-vxpocket /usr/local/bin/vxloader in /etc/modutils/alsa (its a debian ppc system, running a hand made benh ppc 2.4.20 kernel) These are my observations: When booting up, the vx is not recognised. I have to restart alsa, then i can see the vx in alsamixer. xmms runs fine through alsa-oss to the vx. aplay will play long wavs through the vx no problems. if i flick the mute switch for the 'pcm' channel in alsamixer on and off quickly, the sound sometimes goes onto one channel only. a couple of mute flicks brings it back to stereo. arecord -D vxpocket -f cd test.wav throws an Input/Ouput error then freezes the whole system. I get similar results when i try to record using the audacity audio editor (which doesn't seem to like the vx much at all). in this case, its accessing alsa via alsa-oss. I had better results with the old vx driver (jan 2003 cvs) - it recorded through analogue and digital inputs but the recording was distorted. I can't get jackd to start, e.g. ---- jackd -d alsa -d hw:1 jackd 0.61.0 Copyright 2001-2002 Paul Davis and others. jackd comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; see the file COPYING for details loading driver .. driver client name = [alsa_pcm] creating alsa driver ... hw:1|1024|2|48000|swmon|rt Sorry.
