[Alsa-user] Alsa on Redhat Linux 2.6 Kernel
Hi, I'm trying to install ALSA on a Redhat Linux 2.6 kernel. I've downloaded the most recent software, ran configure, but it failed to compile out of the box. Most of documentation seems to related to 2.0 and 2.2 kernels. I'm wondering if someone can point me to more up-to-date documentation. I've been poking around and found that the apps aplay and arecord are already included as part of the distro I have installed. There is some talk in the docs about including ALSA as part of Linux, so I'm wondering, has that already happened? Obviously I'm a beginner with ALSA, and unfortunately audio as well, but I'm tasked with reviewing ALSA for use in our embedded product, so any pointers to getting started would be helpful. -Brooke - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

And what were the problems reported in the compile? Remember that alsa is now part of the kernel, and since it is kernel code you MUST have the source code for the precise kernel you are running installed on your machine. This is the kernel-source*.i386.rpm that you must have installed on your system. Most of documentation seems to related to 2.0 and 2.2 kernels. I'm wondering if someone can point me to more up-to-date documentation. For what? I've been poking around and found that the apps aplay and arecord are already included as part of the distro I have installed. There is some talk in the docs about including ALSA as part of Linux, so I'm wondering, has that already happened? Yes, a long time ago. Of course you have not told us which version of redhat you are running. Obviously I'm a beginner with ALSA, and unfortunately audio as well, but I'm tasked with reviewing ALSA for use in our embedded product, so any pointers to getting started would be helpful. Recent version of the kernel have alsa included. Now the most recent version of alsa may be needed for your particular card, but again you have given no info. It is probably that your card will already work out of the box. -Brooke - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.

Re: [Alsa-user] Help configuring the E-MU 1820m
Le Lun 23 juillet 2007 23:25, James Courtier-Dutton a écrit : To capture sound on the EMU-1820m card, you need to run alsamixer, and adjust the EMU mixer (press F4 to get to it, it is over on the far right of the CAPTURE view) control to 0dB. This controls the digital capture gain from the EMU-1820m card. There is also a mixer control called DSP0 and DSP1 on the playback view. (should be in the capture view, but alsamixer has a bug) Adjust them to the Mic A input. then arecord -fdat -Ddefault test.wav should capture some sound from Mic A. Thank you very much for the instructions. I'll try them as soon as I have some time to play with my computer (which may wait till end of august) and report back if they don't work. -- Nicolas Mailhot - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

[Alsa-user] snd_pcm_delay doesn't work with softvol + rate conversion
I'm trying to run a program that uses ALSA on a system with a HDA
VIA VT82xx sound card (built into the motherboard). This useless
piece of hardware doesn't support sample rate conversion, and
doesn't have it's own volume control. When I use ALSA's default
device on this system, I can change the volume with alsamixer,
and the program accepts non-native sample rates.
The problem is that when software SRC and volume control is
combined, snd_pcm_delay doesn't work as it should. What happens
is that the reported delay never decreases, even though audio _is_
playing, and the buffer is draining. That is, every time I write
audio into the sound card with snd_pcm_writei, the number returned
by snd_pcm_delay increases as it should, but when I wait for the
sound to play out, it doesn't decrease.
I have created a simple program that demonstrates this bug: It
fills the sound card buffer, and then calls snd_pcm_delay until
it returns zero while printing every returned value.
When this program is run with my sound card's native sample rate
(48000 Hz), the numbers quickly drop to zero and the program
terminates. When run with any other rate, it simply loops forever
in the snd_pcm_delay loop, printing the same value forever.
My system is:
CPU: Athlon64 3500+
RAM: 1 GB DDR2 (Corsair Value Select PC5300)
Motherboard: Asus M2V (VIA K8T890 northbridge, VT8237A south)
Audio codec: Realtek ALC 660 (built into the motherboard)
Linux distro: Fedora Core 6
ALSA packages: alsa-lib-1.0.14-0.1.rc1.fc6
alsa-lib-devel-1.0.14-0.1.rc1.fc6
alsa-utils-1.0.14-0.2.rc1.fc6
Kernel: 2.6.20-1.2962.fc6
Other: glibc-2.5-18.fc6 and gcc-4.1.2-13.fc6
I am unable to reproduce this bug on a system that has an SB Live 5.1
so it might just be reproducible on the sound card integrated
into the above system, but I'd appreciate it if someone could test
it on a system with an equally crappy sound card. :-)
Finally, here's the program that demonstrates the bug:

Hi, By appearances, everything appears to be ok with my setup with a new Delta 66, I'm just not getting any sound out :-( With Hydrogen - jack - envy24control the level meters in envy24control (0.6)are bouncing merrily. I've seen mention of routing in envy24control, but trial error there hasn't produced any results... I'm running Ubuntu Studio (Feisty, with low-latency kernel, upgraded from a straight Feisty install), I just upgraded the ALSA packages to the versions in Debian unstable, but that didn't help. Yes, the amp is connected, in fact earlier when I was trying alsaconf (with a different config) I was getting very quiet clicks when I changed settings. Any suggestions?

If you have two cards, the other card might be selected as default. aplay -lLv run at a command line will tell you. Alsa defaults to starting at zero amp levels the first time. Use alsamixer at the commandline to adjust, switch to capture using F4, playback using F3, man alsamixer for more info.

[Alsa-user] scripting question
Why does something like this not work? echo -e \n\n\n | alsaconf This seems to be basic piping data into a program. How do I get 3 returns into alsaconf (as an example) so the program accepts 3 default values and exists. seems like that should work. Jerry - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Your distribution must have a script to start alsa at boot time. It is /etc/init.d/alsa on gentoo. To run /etc/init.d/alsa restart is enough to restart alsa for me. The exact location and syntax of this script is distribution dependant. Dominique Is there a way to give alsaconf 3 carriage returns???

[Alsa-user] alsaconf change request

Simply add an option for accept defaults or autoconfig. The purpose is to not present the user with any questions just accept the default as if the user hit enter. Again, I have already configured the driver for the hardware I want - nice config command line so no questions are asked. Then running alsaconf needs that same kind of command line option to just accept all the defaults and do its normal thing. Is that possible to add? I looked at alsaconf and yes I can change it. however, I when then next version of alsa comes out I dont want something that I did in a special script to no longer work. I would think others would find that useful also. Jerry - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.

Re: [Alsa-user] sending alsaconf 3 carriage returns
Why do you feel you need alsaconf? It should only be necessary for old ISA stuff. PCI sound cards should just work without it. Lee My on-motherboard PCI (un)sound card , Creative (Ensoniq?) CT-5880, didn't work without alsaconf, but didn't work with alsaconf either. Problem was AC97 codec invalid ID 0, or not readable, or not responding. So error messages make it look like defective hardware, and it's not just ALSA or Linux but DOS and the BSDs as well. Now I have a startech.com 4-channel PCI sound card on order, advertising Linux and DOS compatibility, so I've given up on getting this on-motherboard sound to work.
