Re: [Alsa-user] This appears to be the problem I am getting with this list - and now other lists - DMARC / DKIM / SPF
lists, On 2020-08-04 16:41, lists wrote: I just logged into my yahoo account and used the dkimvalidator. It passes SPF and DKIM perfectly. So does mine . . I really doubted the claim that they don't pass DMARC since they helped set the standard. Well that is an old article but it looks so much like my problem I figured it must be related . . As an aside, Google is happy with either passing SPF or DKIM. Right. From a spam viewpoint, if you pass SPF then you are authorized to send email from that server. There is a slight chance that the domain got spoofed, and that would make it trivial to spoof the SPF. Well, as I said before, despite passing the above checking site - I get reports like the attached which reports fails more often than not for DKIM less so for SPF . . DKIM is another story. It involves public and private keys. For postfix to sign the message with DKIM, you need the private key on the server. The public key is in the DNS so that links it to the domain. So if you own the domain and the private key, you must be legit. Mind you I have simplified DKIM slightly since it isn't worth me spewing a half dozen more paragraphs. See previous response. Try your account with the dkimvalidator: https://dkimvalidator.com/ I did when I had set up this stuff originally (as I said above - everything passed OK then and still does now) - something has recently changed - I am getting dozens of stupid Yahoo messages every time I mail to this list now . . The website creates an email address. You send a message to that email address. Don't leave the subject line or message block blank if you want a valid spam assassination score. Wait a minute or two, then click on the check results box. The output is a bit wordly, but you will see verification for spf and dkim. This is the website I use when setting up email servers. Yes, I had forgotten that I had also used it originally. Technically I have only proved SPF and DKIM work. That should be all that a mailing list requires. Apparently not anymore . . DMARC is a bit more complicated to explain, but it isn't worth talking about unless you fail SPF or DKIM. The email system administrator in theory processes reports from other email servers in order to see if any accounts on their server have been spoofed. I say in theory because there is no way to tell if the administrator reads the DMARC reports. Anyway, now that this problem appears to be greater than this list - I should pursue problem-solving in a more appropriate place! Thanks. On the bright side, I have had no ALSA problems in my latest opensuse upgrade! Great! - although am a Fedora person myself . . Regards, Phil.

I haven't been following this thread. If you aren't running your own email server, I don't see how you can effect SPF or DKIM. Yes I do run my own email server (IndiMail - an updated version of QMail) - the problem is that of the reports I get daily about my setup, only roughly 50% pass DKIM - it is better for SPF. I don't understand why it is not 0% or 100% . . SPF means your email comes from an IP address that is allowed to send email from your domain. Yes. This is handled by your DNS. DKIM is substantially more difficult to explain. It is a way to cryptographically sign your message. If you pass DKIM then the message has not been altered. How could my DKIM setup not be either 0% or 100% ? One way to fail SPF is to use a remailer. Well I don't have that problem . . Thanks for the info! Phil.

People, I eventually narrowed down what the problem was: - a new test user on the same workstation worked fine - a different profile (attached to the non-working user) worked fine - using the Chrome reset account facility fixed the problem - reinstalling some Chrome extensions caused the problem again I have narrowed it down to either a YouTube video speed controller or an extension for preventing automatic playing of YT videos . . somehow one or other of these extensions, for Google Meet and Jitsi prevents the speakers from working at all and the mic needs to be changed from Default to Analog . . weird . .

Subject: [PATCH] aplay: Fix invalid file size check for non-regular
files
Looks like you nailed it - so I will have to build my own I guess . .
Thanks!
P.
aplay tries to check the file size via fstat() at parsing the format
headers and avoids parsing when the size is shorter than the given
size. This works fine for regular files, but when a special file like
pipe is passed, it fails, eventually leading to the fallback mode
wrongly.
A proper fix is to do this sanity check only for a regular file.

This version has been rock-solid for a couple of months now:
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "asymed"
}
# This is the audio output:
pcm.dmixer {
type dmix
ipc_key 1024
slave {
pcm "hw:1,0"
period_time 0
period_size 1024
buffer_size 4096
rate 44100
}
bindings {
0 0
1 1
}
}
ctl.dmixer {
type hw
card 0
}
# This is the microphone
pcm.dsnooped {
ipc_key 1027
type dsnoop
slave.pcm "hw:1,0"
}
# This makes both channels work together.
pcm.asymed {
type asym
playback.pcm "dmixer"
capture.pcm "dsnooped"
}
I am very happy now! Thanks for all your help!

OK, once I saw your comments about dmix I started to try and get that to
work - what I have found so far:
1. With NO .asoundrc file - only ONE mplayer instance works
2. Using this .asoundrc:
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmixer"
}
pcm.dmixer {
type dmix
ipc_key 1024
slave {
pcm "hw:1,0"
period_time 0
period_size 1024
buffer_size 4096
rate 44100
}
bindings {
0 0
1 1
}
}
ctl.dmixer {
type hw
# card 0
card 1
device 0
}
I can get TWO mplayers going at the same time.
3. Using the .asoundrc above prevents Mumble and YouTube in Chrome
working
4. With NO .asoundrc file and xfce4-mixer and alsamixer settings for
Front Mike, Front Mike Boost, Rear Mike and Rear Mike Boost ALL muted,
Mumble still works fine! - it looks like it is bypassing ALSA and
talking directly to the port or something?
5. It looks like dmix setups can get quite complex - more reading is
required I think . .
6. I found this: "NOTE: For ALSA 1.0.9rc2 and higher you don't need to
setup dmix for analogue output. Dmix is enabled by default for
soundcards which don't support hardware mixing. You still need to set it
up for digital outputs." here:
http://alsa.opensrc.org/Dmix
- so I'm not sure what that means for me - I am only using analogue
output . .
7. It looks like with some correct dmix parameters for custom pcms for
Mumble and Chrome/YouTube, I should be able to get those to work?
8. There is stuff about snd-aloop and asym that also might be relevant
but I am a bit lost now . .
9. It looks like these problems go back a while:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=130593
but my problems seems like they should be soluble by now at least - even
if I have to set up a custom pcm for each input source . .
Thanks,
Phil.

I replaced my simple .asoundrc:
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 1
device 0
}
with yours but with no improvement (I even rebooted to be sure - I have
had so much problem with audio in the past):
- mplayer works fine in isolation
- YouTube works in isolation
- Mumble works in isolation
- If I have Mumble open, mplayer does not work
- If I have YT running, mplayer does not work
etc
It would be nice to pause whatever I am using ie NOT have to exit the
program, and use another audio app and then come back to where I left
off with the first app . .
Thanks,
Phil.

[Alsa-user] Fedora 23 x86_64; Pulseaudio removed; playing from multiple sources serially
People, Years ago when I needed to simplify things to solve audio hardware problems, I had to remove PA - and for every new version ever since I have automatically uninstalled it to continue to keep things as simple as possible - which generally works well for me. Mostly I play audio and video stuff from the CLI with mplayer but on odd occasions, like when I want to listen to a long audio book, it is more convenient to use QuodLibet which remembers where I am up to on the MP3. However I have found that if I forget to exit QL, then mplayer does not work . . I guess there is no solution to having multiple players open at the same time - but not playing at the same time - and being able to switch between them without reinstalling PA? I also quite frequently have problems with audio on Chrome but because I can't reliably reproduce the problem - in order I do: - refresh tab - exit and restart Chrome - reboot in order to get audio going again on Chrome - I am presuming this is a Chrome issue more than an ALSA issue . .

[Alsa-user] MB with long-standing problem but I really just want to understand what is going on . .
People, I have been using this MotherBoard for years (it is probably the most reliable one I have ever had): http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/highlights/dsktpboards/dg45id but from the beginning I had trouble with ALSA and the Line In port - documented here: http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2009-February/014825.html Mostly this has not been a problem since I only use the Line In port on infrequent occasions but it is annoying that when I do need to use it, sometimes, the method I have found to activate the port does not work and now using it seems to have permanently messed up the configuration for Back Mic for normal use somehow. I have installed Fedora 22 on a new drive (currently using 21) and booting on the new disk cures the introduced problem so it appears not to be permanent sound card damage at all and just some sort of caching or other issue. My procedure for getting the Line In port used to be this (although it didn't work this time and just caused a problem with the Back Mic): - uninstall PulseAudio (or rename /usr/bin/pulseaudio) - stop all apps auto starting that use ALSA - reboot - systemctl stop alsa-state.service - echo 0x0c 0x01813021 /sys/class/sound/hwC0D2/user_pin_configs - echo 1 /sys/class/sound/hwC0D2/reconfig - chmod -R 777 /dev/snd - systemctl start alsa-state.service Going through this procedure showed up new controls in xfce4-mixer and everything worked fine for what I wanted to do - a reboot restored the original setup (it could also be done with echoing the original values). It has been some years since I used this technique but now I can't get it to work and some of the new controls that show up in xfce4-mixer (Capture 1, Input Source 1) don't disappear with a reboot - even if I: rm .config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-mixer.xml !? Also, from Audacity I can now no longer select Default for the microphone and I can't get any of the other options to record . . Is anybody able to tell me what is going on? I can just starting using F22 on the new drive and forget about using this procedure in the future but I don't like not knowing why things don't work reliably . .
