[Alsa-user] Alsa virtual device

2017-03-06 Thread Alan Bromborsky
I am looking for a reference/example to do the following -

I have a program with audio output that cannot be redirected/piped to 
another program from the command line.  This program (Kodi) allows me to 
select the alsa device the sound stream is directed to.   I wish to to 
split a stereo stream into six channels (three for the right and three 
for the left channel) and apply dsp (probably using ecasound) processing 
to each channel.  Basically my left and right speakers each will have a 
three way electronic dsp crossover.  I have heard comments that this can 
be done by defining a virtual (loopback?) alsa device. Is there any good 
reference/example on how to do this. Specifically how does the output of 
the virtual device get sent to the software?  Thank you for any advice 
you can give me.

[Alsa-user] Speaker-Test Tone Duration

2015-09-12 Thread Alan Bromborsky
I am using alsa speaker-test to set my channel gain levels with a spl 
meter and alsamixer one channel at a time.  If I run the follow command 
line -

  speaker-test -Dhw:PCH -c 6  -s 1

everything works fine and I hear pink noise from the front left speaker, 
but the tone doesn't last long enough to set the channel gain using my 
spl meter.  Is there anyway to make the duration of the tone (pink 
noise) longer.  Fifteen seconds would be sufficient.

[Alsa-user] Master Volume Control on Xonar Sound Cards

2015-09-09 Thread Alan Bromborsky
First, I have a Xonar D2 sound card.  It does not have a separate master 
volume control in the alsamixer.  If I use amixer with the 'Master' 
option the volume of each individual channel goes up or down depending 
on whether I execute

amixer -c 1 sset Master 1+ &

or

amixer -c 1 sset Master 1- &

The problem with this arrangement is that if the master volume in the 
command is set too high the relative volume setting between the channels 
is lost.  Is there an alsa application that can change the overall 
volume in this case while maintaining the relative volume setting 
between the channels.

Second, for a Xonar Essence STX/STX II with H6 daughter board is there a 
separate (hardward) master volume control in alsamixer and also if a 
headphone is plugged into headphone input of the main board is the 7.1 
output (rca jacks) of the daughter board muted?

Thank you for your help.

[Alsa-user] Using alsa loopback with surround sound

2015-09-06 Thread Alan Bromborsky
I am trying to capture surround sound with the alsa loopback device.  I 
have configured the loopback device as sound card 0.  I have no 
.asoundrc file.  I am testing the loopback device with ecasound and 
kodi.  I start ecasound (I do not know if this an ecasound or an alsa 
question) with the following command -

brombo@TV:~$ ecasound  -i alsahw,0,1 -o alsahw,2,8
**
*ecasound v2.9.1 (C) 1997-2014 Kai Vehmanen and others
**
(eca-chainsetup) Chainsetup "untitled-chainsetup"
(eca-chainsetup) NOTE: Real-time configuration, but insufficient 
privileges to utilize real-time scheduling (SCHED_FIFO).
... With small buffersizes, this may cause audible glitches during 
processing.
(eca-chainsetup) "rt" buffering mode selected.
(eca-chainsetup) Opened input "alsahw", mode "read". Format: s16_le, 
channels 2, srate 44100, interleaved.
(eca-chainsetup) Opened output "alsahw", mode "write". Format: s16_le,

^C- [ Controller/Batch processing finished (0) ] ---
- [ Engine exiting ] -
(eca-control-objects) Disconnecting chainsetup: "untitled-chainsetup".
brombo@TV:~$

alsahw,0,1 is the loopback capture device and alsahw,2,8 is a hdmi 
output.  The ecasound command is executed before I start kodi.  I select 
the loopback audio device in the kodi audio setup menu.  This gives me 
sound, but only in stereo, even if the source is 5.1 channels.  If I 
select the hdmi output in the kodi audio setup I get 5.1 channel output.

Do I need to force the loopback device to use 6 channels.  If so how do 
I do it? Is there another problem?  Thank you for looking at my problem.

[Alsa-user] Ladspa plugin documentation

2015-08-31 Thread Alan Bromborsky
I am looking for documentation of ladspa plugins to use with alsa. The 
site www.ladspa.org no longer exists.  Could you suggest a link that 
documents all the plugins and the parameters required for each.  I am 
especially interested in low-pass, high-pass, and band-pass plugins.

[Alsa-user] Understanding Audio Device Mappings

2015-08-18 Thread Alan Bromborsky
Running ubuntu 14.04. Attached is the output from aplay -Ll and 
arecord -Ll for my computer.  If select loopback as the sound card and 
execute -


ecasound -i alsahw,0,1,0 -o test.wav

I can capture the audio output of a running application to the wave 
file.  What is not clear is what devices defined by alsahw,i,j,k I 
should use for 5.1 surround in the loopback sound card and in the analog 
output sound card.  If I look at aplay.txt I see an entry -


surround51:CARD=PCH,DEV=0
HDA Intel PCH, ALC1150 Analog
5.1 Surround...

I know that i=1 and j=0, but what k to use for surround51.  Is there a 
reference that would help me determine the mapping.

[Alsa-user] Xonar D2 spdif input

I am running ubuntu 14.04.  I have a Xonar D2 sound card.  I wish to 
capture 5.1 digital input from this sound card.  Can this be done in 
linux and if so which alsa device and options should I use?  The device 
name of the card is 'D2'.  My purpose is that I have a hdmi audio 
dembedder (toslink output) and wish to record the 5.1 channel hdmi audio 
stream via the Xonar D2.

[Alsa-user] Playing analog input with volume control

2015-05-27 Thread Alan Bromborsky
I am running Ubuntu 14.04.  I am trying to play the output (amplified to 
line level) of a turntable through my computer with a volume control 
that works.  The audio output of the computer is via an Nvidia hdmi to a 
surround sound preamp.  The input is the analog line in connection of a 
Xonar D2 sound card (eventually the D2 will replace the surround sound 
preamp).  I can play the records with either of the below commands -


built-in:

| pactl load-module module-loopback
|

or, try ecasound:

| sudo apt-get install ecasound
ecasound -i alsa -o alsa
|

but I cannot control the volume.  Since I wish to control the volume via 
the multimedia volume keys on my keyboard what are the appropriate 
command line inputs or script to accomplish this.


Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  The amixer output for 
each sound card is show below.

[Alsa-user] Capturing and playing dolby digital steam

2014-10-19 Thread Alan Bromborsky
I am trying to turn my computer into a surround sound preamp.  I am 
running Ubuntu Studio 14.04.  The only audio source that is external to 
my computer that I do not know how to handle is a tos link from my TiVo 
carrying a Dolby Digital stream.

I have a sound card (Xonar D2) with a toslink input that works.  I am 
able to input optical output of a cd player and play it with my sound 
card via

arecord -f cd -D plughw:1,0 | aplay -

The question is what are the correct command line parameters to use if 
the audio stream on the tos link input is a Dolby Digital (AC3) steam 
from my TiVo box.

 The ALC883 cannot do this alone.  You have to run a program to record
 from the line in and to play the data back to the SPDIF output.

 arecord -f dat | aplay -D spdif might work, but then you cannot use
 these devices with other programs.

I am playing a tv program using mplayer in which the sound input is 
analog and the output is on the hdmi (I have a asus m3n78 pro 
motherboard where the nvidia hd sound is on the motherboard).  You could 
use audacity to monitor your audio input and send it to the desired 
output.  If you go to edit preferences in audacity you should see a 
listing of inputs and outputs that mirror the system audio mixer.  For 
my case the input was hw:0,0 (analog line in) and the output was hw:0,3 
(hdmi out).  I remember seeing spdif as one of the outputs.  You just 
need to make sure the iec958  output switches on the system mixer are 
checked and the associated levels set correctly (I have to check iec958 
2 to get the hdmi output working).

set-top-box.  Sound is passed through to sound output (speakers) unless 
I mute line-in on alsa mixer, but if I mute line-in I cannot capture 
sound under any circumstances.  I wish sound output to happen only if 
application I am running requests it (tvtime for example).  How do I set 
up sound system to accomplish this?
