Re: [Alsa-user] High-pitched squeal from audiophile card

I have: Guitar - Behringer Xenyx mixer - M-Audio Audiophile 2496 RCA inputs When the setup is sitting there, idle and active, there is a very very high-pitched light squeal coming from the PC speakers. It's so high-pitched that only myself and so far two other people I've had listen

Re: [Alsa-user] Soundcard only works every other login

The Mia now appears to work every time I boot up, but I only managed to do this by disabling the built in Intel sound card in the BIOS. Not an ideal solution. Sound like you might just need to index the alsa modules so they load in a specific order. Automations scripts might be working in

Re: [Alsa-user] Weird microphone issue

High-Z 3.7 V 2.25 V 0 V I have no idea what does the first one means. Does it provides any voltage? Not sure about the voltage. But things like electric guitar need high-Z (high impedence). In the Mega Ohms. As opposed to your standard microphone preamp that only has a few Kilo Ohms of

Re: [Alsa-user] Weird microphone issue

Nothing that could construed as phantom voltage (which is normally 50 volts in the broadcast industry) is visible for either the intel_8xx on the motherboard, or for the audigy 2 value I use for everything. I also have an sb16 but don't recall it as having such a feature either. Phantom

Re: [Alsa-user] Recommend a good XLR/line/instrument interface (USB or PCI) ?

Not really insight suggestions: But if you can negotiate with PCI try the M-Audio delta series. I've got a delta 1010lt and it works great. There are smaller models, the delta44 and delta66. They have XLR, chinch and digital I/O and MIDI in/out. My card cost about 300 EUR (about 6

Re: [Alsa-user] Weird microphone issue

Problem is that I'm able to use an old (crappy) labtec microphone, but the two different headset microphones I tried, don't pick up a thing. I've tried the headsets on another computer so I know the headset mics are working. You're probably missing the DC bias aka bias voltage aka plug-in

Re: [Alsa-user] MCP67 audio and alsa 1.0.15

I just got a new HP laptop. Nvidia based. It has MCP67 components from lspci. I installed alsa 1.0.15 and it does not find any sound cards. # modprobe snd-hda-intel At least that's the one for my MCP61. Does the card show up in lspci?

Re: [Alsa-user] two apps using sound

Apps that use the old OSS API block the soundcard if your sound device lacks hardware mixing. Upgrade to the latest Flash plugin which uses ALSA and software mixing will work. Also try starting firefox with aoss. Note that aoss will not be wrapping any child instances (pop-ups) launched

Re: [Alsa-user] Best supported cards?

Here's what I have not been able to get to work: Full duplex, Not sure about the full duplex part, as not all cards are full duplex. My M-Audio Delta 44 says Full Duplex on the box. And seems to be just that. My laptop(ATI IXP) on the other hand can do full duplex, BUT... there's some

Re: [Alsa-user] Bose audio

I don't see it in the aplay -l, but lsusb confirms its existence. Does it show up in /proc/asound/cards ? - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges. Microsoft(R) Visual Studio 2005.

[Alsa-user] default to card other than card 0 - asoundrc

I'm wondering on a couple things with asoundrc. If I want the default alsa device to be something other than card 0, is there a simple entry I can put in asoundrc to make that happen? I can get the cards to switch in the driver configuration in /etc/modprobe.d/ but I'd rather have something

Re: [Alsa-user] mic too soft (fedora 7, alsa 1.0.14, via 8235)

even with Mic Boost (+20db) on, the sound is just not loud enough. Mic in is a combination of mixer settings. Make sure you have mic + gain/capture + mic boost to have maximum input levels. It may also be that your mic requires a bias voltage(+5V) and you soundcard doesn't supply one. HTH

Re: [Alsa-user] MIDI with Intel HDA

But it seems MIDI is not supported: Many cards don't have onboard midi support these days. As long as you compiled with --with-sequencer=yes, you can run timidity to emulate midi. # modprobe snd-seq-oss $ timidity -Oi -iA Assuming timidity is installed and configured with useable sound

Re: [Alsa-user] looking for a 4 (or 8) tracks firewire sound card supported by ALSA

i need to buy a 4 tracks (at least) firexire sound card http://freebob.sourceforge.net/index.php/Main_Page As far as USB, I have the M-Audio Mobile Pre and it works under alsa. But it only does two tracks. And the one I have needs some solder work done on the usb cable connector.

Re: [Alsa-user] 3 cards - only 2 in /proc/asound/

I'd put money on the fact that your onboard snd-hda-intel device is disabled in the BIOS. --markc Partially right anyway. It was set to AUTO. I set it to enable and it's listed now. - James - This SF.net email is

[Alsa-user] M-Audio MobilePre - snd-usb-audio

I have the M-Audio MobilePre to use as a preamp for weak microphones. All of my current mics are currently 1/8 or adaptered to 1/4. I've gotten the device working as an audio out device. But I have not been able to capture from it. I do not have any XLR3 mics and I think it's defaulting to

Re: [Alsa-user] M-Audio MobilePre - snd-usb-audio

I have the M-Audio MobilePre to use as a preamp for weak microphones. All of my current mics are currently 1/8 or adaptered to 1/4. Burried deep in the manual is an indication that normal computer mics are powered by current from the computer. This unit does not provide that current.

[Alsa-user] nVidia MCP61 - snd-hda-intel

I'm having issues with ardour and audacity, possibly more to do with jackd than alsa, or something specific to a 64 bit system. But here's my symptoms as I see them. The card works (alsa 1.0.14) or later. There's a few more mixer options in 1.0.15rc2. But when running jackd I need to use -n

Re: [Alsa-user] problems with dmix, a52 and upmix

0. without dmix I cannot share the sound card which is a big problem! There are plenty of ways to share sound without dmix. artsd, jackd, esd, aoss, and probably others. As long as the apps in question use alsa natively you don't even need to have those to have shared sound. At least not
