Tada and it's a pulseaduio problem again: Since tsched=0 has been removed from the default config pulseaudio doesn't work any longer even with the above change. It claims there is no plug:front:0 even though I can play sound through that device using mplayer just fine. Adding back tsched=0 helps (but is not the right solution I guess).

[Bug 178442] Re: Pulseaudio fails to initialize Audiophile 2496
The reason pulseaudio right now doesn't work with this card is that it expects
a front device that has only 2 channels.
A possible fix for this is changing it's definition to:
ICE1712.pcm.front.0 {
@args [ CARD ]
@args.CARD {
type string
}
type route
ttable.0.0 1
ttable.1.1 1
slave.pcm {
type hw
card $CARD
}
slave.format S32_LE
slave.channels 10
}
in /usr/share/alsa/cards/ICE1712.conf
This is taken from RedHat's and pulseaudio's bugtracker and the alsa list, I
can't find the relevant thread/bugs right now though...

[Bug 178442] Re: Pulseaudio fails to initialize Audiophile 2496
The problem is not isolated to pulseaudio. It can show up in any audio app that expects to be able to control certain audio card settings. The ICE1712 driver only takes 10 channels of output in s32 format, or nothing. Also the rate locking feature, if turned on, will limit the sample rate to one option. All in all, you have one exact format that works (and programs that go with the defaults usually find it), and audio specific software usually expects to be able to tinker with those settings. So, I'd peg this as an ALSA bug. And I think it's been known for about 5 years or so. So the question is perhaps, is this how a proper driver for the M-Audio 2496 should work? ..and my feeling is..no. The Delta *ASIO* driver manages deal with different numbers of channels. Also, there is the thing with consistency with other cards. Even if this 10 channel thing is a requirement of the hardware, making the driver zero out the redundant buffers should be kind of easy, I think? -- Pulseaudio fails to initialize Audiophile 2496 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/178442 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 178442] Re: Pulseaudio fails to initialize Audiophile 2496
I can confirm this bug. After upgrading from Gutsy to Hardy sound output stopped working on my M2496 card due to pulseaudio being used as soundserver. This is quite annoying. I have to kill pulseaudio every time I log in to be able to use the soundcard. In fairness, I have not tried any of the above mentioned workarounds to get pulseaudio to work together with the Delta soundcard since I am happy with the way it works when pulseaudio is deactivated. The file /etc/default/pulseaudio suggests to disable ESD in System-Preferences-Sound to prevent pulseaudio from being loaded by GNOME, which works for me but of course disables all system sounds.

Same problem with a M-Audio Delta 44 (same alsa driver ice1712). The workaround above works, with device=hw:M44. From what I read in the link posted above, the problem seems to be that there is no default channel map (i.e. knowing which channel is left and which is right) for 10 channels cards, and that the driver (or may be the card) refuse to open for just 2 channels. IMHO the bug importance is more than low, since the ice1712 based cards are quite common among music-oriented linux users (these are affordable high-quality cards, supported by alsa for a long time). -- Pulseaudio fails to initialize Audiophile 2496 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/178442 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This problem also exists on the M-Audio Delta 410 which uses the same driver and is quite similar (from the computer's perspective) to the Audiophile 2496 I believe. There isn't a control named Master or PCM on the Delta 410. The relevant channels are DAC and DAC 1 through DAC 7 for a total of 8.

Ugly work around for an maudio Delta 44 here: https://tango.0pointer.de/pipermail/pulseaudio- discuss/2008-January/001240.html Basically having to manually etch a static config into a config file in /etc -- Pulseaudio fails to initialize Audiophile 2496 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/178442 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 178442] Re: Pulseaudio fails to initialize Audiophile 2496
That workaround works for me too, but I don't really get why it fails in the first place. Everything that is given in the static configuration is already used as a fallback by the auto-detection according to the warnings displayed. Just to be a bit more sepcific, this two lines in /etc/pulse/default.pa (and commenting auto-detection) work for me: load-module module-alsa-sink sink_name=M2496_out device=hw:M2496 format=s32le channels=10 channel_map=left,right,aux0,aux1,aux2,aux3,aux4,aux5,aux6,aux7 load-module module-alsa-source source_name=M2496_in device=hw:M2496 format=s32le channels=12 channel_map=left,right,aux0,aux1,aux2,aux3,aux4,aux5,aux6,aux7,aux8,aux9 For what it's worth mixer channels are still not found with this configuration. I wonder if this makes a difference or if pulseaudio is always doing software mixing. If it makes a difference pulseaudio should really make it possible to specify how the channels are called on your soundcard. -- Pulseaudio fails to initialize Audiophile 2496 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/178442 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 178442] Re: Pulseaudio fails to initialize Audiophile 2496
Sorry to be annoying, but I was wondering if this going to be fixed for hardy or will be In Progress 'till hardy+1. Beta is aproaching and this bug that renders pulseaudio (the default) useless for a good hand full of people ist still there. I'm sure you have more important bugs to fix, but I'd really suck for me if this would not get in hardy (yes I know it's the old Your own bugs always seem the most important thing, my bad). -- Pulseaudio fails to initialize Audiophile 2496 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/178442 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Do you have an /etc/asound.conf and/or ~/.asoundrc* ? What does `asoundconf list` return? If you kill pulseaudio and use `aplay /usr/share/sounds/*up.wav`, is it audible or do the above errors appear? ** Changed in: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- Pulseaudio fails to initialize Audiophile 2496 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/178442 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
