[linrad] sound card requirements?
All, What is the preferred architecture for a linrad sound card? How effectively is it abstracted by OSS or ALSA? My current card a Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM. This apparently does not support simultaneous input and output. I am not sure if this is a hardware, driver, or configuration issue. Does anyone have any information on this or other cards?

The trace output is: /dev/dsp62 /dev/dsp /dev/dsp64 (/dev/dsp63 is missing) The error message segmentation fault appears in the terminal box. - Regards - Dan # This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list linrad@antennspecialisten.se.

[linrad] Re: segmentation fault
Leif, There is no file /dev/sndstat. Can it be known by another name? - Dan The result is very odd. Linrad tries to open all these devices. The statement is rx_audio_out=open( dev_name, O_WRONLY|O_NONBLOCK, 0); for each one of the device files and they all give rx_audio_out=-1 which is an error. What does your /dev/sndstat file contain? The very first line should say something about what sound system you have. Something is wrong with it. 73 Leif / SM5BSZ # This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list linrad@antennspecialisten.se.

[linrad] Re: linrad make errors
Roger, Thank you for the reply. NASM fixed the problem. xlinrad now builds and loads, however it errors attempting to configure the sound card. The audio controller is an Intel 82801DB/DBL/DBM on an IBM t41 laptop. My primary interest is HF SSB on 75 meters in the evening - a very noisy environment. The introductory material seems to indicate a single channel audio input is the place to start. Is this correct? How is linrad on 'static' noise? Thanks - Dan Roger Rehr wrote: Hi, Dan, First of all, you need to install NASM. You can get it with Synaptic, which FC6 would have I think, as I think Synaptic has RHL roots. IF you don't have Synaptic, then do apt-get install nasm or sudo apt-get install nasm if you are not root. Once you do that, I think things should install fine. The other no's are not a problem: As far as I know, none of the usual distros of Linux come with OSS installed by default at this time. FC6 is no exception. That is why you have the first set of no's. I mostly run linrad on systems without OSS, though I have it on a few systems still. Only install it if you have a problem you are very sure OSS will fix. The second set of no's are because you have not defined a users_hwaredriver.c file to run any special hardware you might have. There is no need to do so in all probability. If you want to see an example of such a file go to: http://www.nitehawk.com/w3sz/users_hwaredriver.c This may not be an absolutely uptodate file; I don't racall if it is the latest version I made or not. I use it to send commands to my FT1000MP Mv V. This version uses the serial port. The windows version [wusers_hwaredriver.c] can send the commands over a network to another computer with a serial port hooked up to the FT1000. I cheat and just write to a file and have another program I wrote send the data over the network. http://www.nitehawk.com/w3sz/wusers_hwaredriver.c , also not necessarily the latest file. vagl, etc are no's because you don't have svgalib installed. You do not need it installed to use/run xlinrad which is what I run here these days. I do not miss svgalib at all ;) Otherwise things look fine to me. The important questions are all answered 'yes' as far as I can see. Leif has excellent infor on how to get going on his webpage. If you need more, then check out the first 3 links [MS WORD document, MS WORD tables for the document, and figure 1] under the first heading, General Review of DSP / SDR Techniques and VHF and Up Operating on the webpage: http://www.nitehawk.com/w3sz/start.htm Good luck, and report back with any problems / questions. 73, W3SZ Roger Rehr http://www.nitehawk.com/w3sz Quoting Dan Sawyer [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Good morning, Linrad fails to build on FC6.

[linrad] Re: segmentation fault
Roger, I followed that sequence and selected U, everything worked as described below. There is no option for selecting a sound card. It jumps to requesting baud rate, reporting lack of ability to perform input and output together, and then seg faulting. - Thanks again, Dan Roger Rehr wrote: You come to the main screen that lists: A=Weak Signal CW B=Normal CW C=Meteor Scatter CW D=SSB E=FM G=QRSS CW H=TX TEST I=SOUNDCARD TEST MODE J=ANALOG HARDWARE TUNE M=Init Moon Tracking and EME DATABASE M=NEtwork Setup S=Global Parms Setup U=A/D and D/A setup for RX -THIS IS SOUNDCARD SETUP! So you want to type U to setup the soundcards and get to the screens I suggested. If you haven't done U and you select any of A,B,C,D, etc. it will take you to the U series of screens anyway. When you type D I really don't think it is requesting a baud rate, it is requesting a sampling rate. It is taking you to the U configure A/D and D/A [in other words, configure soundcard] series of screens as I indicated it would. I hope the above explanation is helpful. Keep us posted, and 73, W3SZ Roger Rehr http://www.nitehawk.com/w3sz Quoting Dan Sawyer [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Roger, Thank you again. I am not seeing what you describe. Linrad open in a menu page with uses, weak signal cw, etc.; another set of menus, init moon tracking, etc.; and a third process first file named ..., etc. There is no menu to select a sound card. I chose D for ssb. xlinrad requests a baud rate, reports input and output cannot be performed together and that the device found is /dev/dsp. Thanks, - Dan Roger Rehr wrote: Hi Dan, Thanks for the answers! So the version of nasm and the [32 bit] OS size are not problems. When setting up the soundcard in Linrad, you should have selected option [2], One Rx channel, I/Q [direct conversion receiver]. If you selected option [4], things would surely crash. You might post a listing of exactly what choices you made, a la: -- 1. You will be presented with the first of several soundcard selection screens. You will see a listing of your soundcards and below that list will be the request ?Select (first) device for Rx input by line number:? In my case, I use the M-Audio Delta 44 1 and 2 channels for input and so I select ?2?, for ?M-Audio Delta 44 1 / 2? and hit ?ENTER?. 2. Then I am asked ?Do you need more channels from the same soundcard? (Y/N)?. I type ?N?. If I were doing dual-polarity receive EME with the Delta44 I would still type ?N? because the Delta 44 multi device driver supports 4 channels. 3. Then I am asked to enter ?Sampling speed (Hz):? and I type ?96000? and hit ?ENTER?, and on the same screen I am then asked to enter ?No of bits (16/24):? and I type ?24? and again hit ?ENTER?. 4. The I am asked to ?Select a radio interface and given four choices: [1] one rx channel (normal audio), [2] one rx channel I/Q (direct conversion rx), [3] two rx channels (adaptive polarization/phasing), [4] two rx channels, I/Q. I choose [2] for terrestrial work and [4] for EME, so here I choose [2]. 5. The next screen asks me to ?Select device for Rx output? and I select [0] Realtek HD Audio output, my motherboard sound, and again hit ?ENTER?. I type enter again, and then I am back to the main screen and I type ?W? to save my choices. - You can edit to show what choices you made and exactly where you see the segfault [I am guessing after number [4], but I am not sure if it is before or after [5]. With this info it may be easier to piece things together. By the way, it is not a baud rate, it is sampling rate in samples per second that the computer asks for. Good Luck, keep us posted, and 73, W3SZ Roger Rehr http://www.nitehawk.com/w3sz Quoting Dan Sawyer [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Roger, Thank you again. See below. - Dan Roger Rehr wrote: Hi, Dan, I have a couple of more questions the answers to which might help to figure things out if you are still having problems with segmentation faults. As Leif noted, you should not worry about doing the hardware test. Go right to U to set up soundcards, then to D SSB OR A Weak Signal CW. 1. Were you using OSS from the first, before you started with Linrad? Yes, it supports system sound. 2. If so, did FC6 come with it installed or did you add it? Yes. I have updated the kernel and it is also configured for OSS. 3. Is the audio now working in Linrad when you go into D or A for example from the main screen? No. The D option asks for channels, the a baud rate. It reports input and output cannot work concurrently and then errors with a seg fault. 4. If not, what exactly happens when you to to U from the main screen? see 3. 5. What version of nasm are you using? nasm-0.98.39-3.2.2 6. What kernel version are you using? 2.6.21.1 7. Is your machine 64 bit or 32 bit and if 64 bit are you running 64 bit version of FC6? 32 bit If things are working you can ignore
