[Alsa-devel] Problem with simultaneous 16bit Rec/play with rme96/8

2003-07-12 Thread Ed Wildgoose
Hi, I have an RME 96/8 PAD card and I have tried various versions of the alsa driver from 0.9 up to 0.94 and I'm seeing a consistent problem with simultaneous play and record at 16 bit sample levels with OSS For example running: sox -r 44100 -t ossdsp -w -s -c 2 /dev/dsp test.wav is fine, but

Hi, I'm having some problems getting the alsa input into Jack working correctly. The soundcard is an RME96/8 PAD, Alsa from Kernel 2.6 pre9, and Jack version 0.91.1 - I'm firing up Jackd with: jackd -R -t 2000 -d alsa -d rme96 -r 44100 -p 1024 -n 8 -m -zs -H -M ...and I have an asound config

You cannot set callbacks on an active client cannot connect alsaP:out_000 to alsa_pcm:playback_1 if these clients really do call snd_pcm_close() when ffwd'ing, then there must be some mistake in the ALSA JACK plug, because it should close the client down. if they do not call

2004-01-06 Thread Ed Wildgoose
I don't know how alsa patches drivers when it has to compile on kernel 2.6, so I don't know how to fix it. See my message in Alsa-Users posted a few hours ago with title: Can not patch 2.6 kernel The answer is listed on the first page of the alsa website in fact! I failed to read it at first,

I plan to add an option to export a shell script restoring the current setup in the next hdspmixer release. Yes, this would be extremely nice if alsa could save the mixer settings at shutdown and restore them later. I think the issue is that the mixer setting is not readable. Perhaps there is

I haven't had time to try and get any sound out of it yet! However, it is detected correctly in the mixer, and the driver thinks that there are 4 extra channels. I need to get some jack socket convertors to get some sound out, but will let you know. Please do so, thanks. Hi Thomas,

Thanks, this is good news. Could you also please test hdspmixer with the expansion board and confirm there's no problem here either ? Yes, hdspmixer does all the right things with the extra channels. There appears to be a minor bug in that the input channels 8 and 9 (I think?), ie the top

[Alsa-devel] rme 9632 crackling when sound 0db

2004-04-12 Thread Ed Wildgoose
Hi, I'm running kernel 2.6.5-mm1 with built-in alsa drivers. Also, v 1.04 of the various alsa utils, etc. I'm playing (for example) Dido - No Angel, track Isobel, and according to the hdspmixer tool, at the end of the track the drums have transients that go greater than 0db, and this causes

You can also simulate this simply by turning up the mixer controls so that normal music starts to clip. Same effect. At risk of creating noise. Further experimentation shows that you need to set the output levels to +4db in hdspconf for this crackling to occur. So in fairness this could
