#25: Support ALSA hardware mixing +--- Reporter: elmarco| Owner: lennart Type: enhancement| Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: module-alsa-* |Severity: normal Resolution: |Keywords: +--- Comment (by meden): I managed to deal correctly with ALSA and dmix disabling module-hal-detect and setting up thing manually as follow (in default.pa): {{{ # Carica i moduli In/Out ALSA per la Audigy load-module module-alsa-sink device=front:CARD=Audigy,DEV=0 sink_name=Audigy_Out_2.0 load-module module-alsa-sink device=surround51:CARD=Audigy,DEV=0 sink_name=Audigy_Out_5.1 load-module module-alsa-source device=hw:0,0 source_name=Audigy_In # # Carica i moduli In/Out ALSA per la IntelHDA load-module module-alsa-sink device=front:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 sink_name=IntelHDA_Out load-module module-alsa-source device=hw:1,0 source_name=IntelHDA_In }}} Now, using ALSA device names, I can choose where redirect streams and the number of channel happily, without locking the hardware. And Skype works too. Hope that can help. -- Ticket URL: http://www.pulseaudio.org/ticket/25#comment:6 PulseAudio http://pulseaudio.org/ The PulseAudio Sound Server ___ pulseaudio-tickets mailing list pulseaudio-tickets@mail.0pointer.de https://tango.0pointer.de/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-tickets

Starting pulse with a native alsa-stream it only says it can open hw:0, although the alsa-default is dmix (I think, at least it works running I.E. Rhythmbox and aplay at the same time.) Is it possible to change this somewhere? -- Ticket URL: http://www.pulseaudio.org/ticket/25#comment:4 PulseAudio http://pulseaudio.org/ The PulseAudio Sound Server ___ pulseaudio-tickets mailing list pulseaudio-tickets@mail.0pointer.de https://tango.0pointer.de/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-tickets

#25: Support ALSA hardware mixing +--- Reporter: elmarco| Owner: lennart Type: enhancement| Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: module-alsa-* |Severity: normal Resolution: |Keywords: +--- Comment (by rawler): Actually, I just figured it out. Seems like the HAL-detection bypasses alsa-defaults, and connects directly to the hardware. Editing /etc/pulse/default.pa, commenting out autodetection and enabling {{{load-module module-alsa-sink}}} fixed the problem at once. Using the HAL-module is the default configuration in Ubuntu, creating the problem for any card not supporting hardware-mixing. There is a bug in launchpad on the topic https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/109439 -- Ticket URL: http://www.pulseaudio.org/ticket/25#comment:5 PulseAudio http://pulseaudio.org/ The PulseAudio Sound Server ___ pulseaudio-tickets mailing list pulseaudio-tickets@mail.0pointer.de https://tango.0pointer.de/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-tickets

If pulse hogs your sound card then you've either configured alsa or pulse to use bare hardware. -- Ticket URL: http://pulseaudio.org/ticket/25 PulseAudio http://pulseaudio.org/ The PulseAudio Sound Server___ pulseaudio-tickets mailing list pulseaudio-tickets@mail.0pointer.de https://tango.0pointer.de/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-tickets

Anyway, I'm pretty sure I didn't configure alsa for anything; in fact, I just checked, it has no configuration file at all (neither {{{~/.asound.conf}}} nor {{{/etc/asound.conf}}} exist). I normally have mixing with alsa (either hardware or software, I don't know). For instance, I can listen to rhythmbox and play xmame with sounds at the same time. Once I installed pulseaudio, at next login the pulseaudio daemon started running, and I no longer had sound in xmame. So naturally I had to uninstall pulseaudio again. -- Ticket URL: http://pulseaudio.org/ticket/25 PulseAudio http://pulseaudio.org/ The PulseAudio Sound Server___ pulseaudio-tickets mailing list pulseaudio-tickets@mail.0pointer.de https://tango.0pointer.de/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-tickets
