[Touch-packages] [Bug 1498129] Re: Asus Xonar U7 S/PDIF output not recognized by pulseaudio

2016-03-01 Thread g0ukb
Raymond - thank you for all your help. I now have my Xonar U7 Echelon
Ed. working with SPDIF. Clemend from the alsa-dev team suggested the
following:

"""
Try changing /usr/share/alsa/cards/USB-Audio.conf.  Dont add an entry to
the USB-Audio.pcm.iec958_device list near the top, but go to the bottom,
to the USB-Audio.pcm.iec958.0 definition, and change this:

USB-Audio.pcm.iec958.0 {
@args [ CARD AES0 AES1 AES2 AES3 ]
@args.CARD { type string }
@args.AES0 { type integer }
@args.AES1 { type integer }
@args.AES2 { type integer }
@args.AES3 { type integer }
@func refer
name {
...(lots of stuff)...
}
default {
...(lots of stuff)...
}
}

to this:

USB-Audio.pcm.iec958.0 {
@args [ CARD AES0 AES1 AES2 AES3 ]
@args.CARD { type string }
@args.AES0 { type integer }
@args.AES1 { type integer }
@args.AES2 { type integer }
@args.AES3 { type integer }
type hw # no @func
card $CARD
device 1
}
"""

I believe this fix ignores card-identification and assigns ALL USB
soundcards so that iec958 is on device 1 rather than device 0. It is a
hack because I cannot use other USB for iec958 cards but currently that
is not a requirement so I am happy.

When I made the fix  alsa picked it up without needing a restart i.e. I  when I 
run 
 aplay -L | grep -A 2 iec958
I get 
iec958:CARD=Ed,DEV=0
Xonar U7 Echelon Ed., USB Audio #1  
IEC958 (S/PDIF) Digital Audio Output

Pulseaudio needed restarting to pick up the change and then everything
worked well.

I will make a better fix when my Linux version supports the alsa release
which has support or special characters.

Thank you again or helping me resolve this.

===

aoandr - I have a friend who has an original Asus Xonar U7 (which
identifies itself to Alsa as "Xonur U7"). I have helped him get this
working with iec958.

This worked for him:

aplay -l[ to identify the card]
amixer -c[x] sset 'IEC958 In' on [to ensure it is unmuted in alsa - [x] 
is the card number from aplay -l]

add the
USB-Audio.pcm.iec958_device {
"Xonar U7" 1
...
}
to USB-Audio.conf 

restart Pulseaudio and alsa (a reboot is easier than killing everything)

All worked after this for his Xonar U7

  Asus Xonar U7 S/PDIF output not recognized by pulseaudio

Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  The external USB audio card Asus Xonar U7 is capable of both analog and 
digital output.
  ALSA name for the digital (S/PDIF) output is hw:1,1, and it is listed in 
aplay -l output, and aplay can output to it:
  aplay -D plughw:1,1 sample.wav. So, direct alsa sound works fine.

  However, pulseadio does not recognize the digital output of Xonar U7,
  it offers only analog output.

2016-02-27 Thread g0ukb
Raymond - because I don't know how to :-) I have very little knowledge of
alsa.

>From lsusb my device has a different USB dev number than the other Xonar U7
card
Bus 005 Device 011: ID 1043:85c1 iCreate Technologies Corp.
Also if I run cat /proc/asound/card3/usbid I see
1043:85c1

When this I first tried this card I suspected that the '.' in the alsa card
name was a problem. So one of the very first things I tried many months ago
was to add:
"USB Device 0x1043:0x85c1" 1   to  the USB-Audio.pcm.iec958_device section
of USB-Audio.conf
this does  not work.

I thought I was using the correct format because further down the
USB-Audio.pcm.iec958_device section of my USB-Audio.conf I see some cards
with 999 as their device to stop them being opened
"Scarlett 2i2 USB" 999
"Sennheiser USB headset" 999
"USB Device 0x46d:0x992" 999
}

So I tried again today and found this entry on the web
http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-lib.git;a=blob;f=src/conf/cards/USB-Audio.conf;hb=HEAD
where it has these lines in the USB-Audio.pcm.iec958_device section of
USB-Audio.conf
"Sennheiser USB headset" 999
 "SWTOR Gaming Headset by Razer" 999
"USB Device 0x46d_0x821" 999
 "USB Device 0x46d_0x992" 999
  }

i.e. using an underscore to separate vendor id and product id

So I try
"USB Device 0x1043_0x85c1" 1
and stiil it doesn't work

Can you tell me what the correct format is?

2016-02-26 Thread g0ukb
Raymond I have done that. Also today I was able to test an Asus Xonar U7
but the edition of the card which is not the Echelon edition.  I believe
the two cards are the same hardware but the echelon edition had
additional Windows software included and for some reason Asus decided to
change the USB name

This non-Echelon version presents itself as "Xonar U7" to alsa and
adding '"Xonar U7" 1'  to USB-Audio.pcm.iec958_device appears to work as

aplay -L | grep -A 2 iec958

reports

iec958:CARD=U7,DEV=0
Xonar U7, USB Audio #1
IEC958 (S/PDIF) Digital Audio Output

I still wasn't able to play directly from it - I guess I need to do
further work in pulseaudio too. I can't test that as I only had the card
on loan but will progress this once alsa-devel have a fix for the '.' in
my own Echelon  card name

2016-02-25 Thread g0ukb
Raymond is there no way I can do this in alsa?

Why does adding '"Xonar U7 Echelon Ed". 1' to
the USB-Audio.pcm.iec958_device section of USB-Audio.conf appear to do
nothing?

Here is that section

# If a device does not use the first PCM device for digital data, the device
# number for the iec958 device can be changed here.
USB-Audio.pcm.iec958_device {
# "NoiseBlaster 3000" 42
"Xonar U7 Echelon Ed." 1

# The below don't have digital in/out, so prevent them from being opened.
"Blue Snowball" 999
"HP Digital Stereo Headset" 999
"Logitech Speaker Lapdesk N700" 999
"Logitech USB Headset" 999
"Logitech Wireless Headset" 999
"Plantronics GameCom 780" 999
"Plantronics USB Headset" 999
"Plantronics Wireless Audio" 999
"SB WoW Headset" 999
"Scarlett 2i2 USB" 999
"Sennheiser USB headset" 999
"USB Device 0x46d:0x992" 999
}

There are no other references to the U7 card in USB-Audio.conf yet still
when I run
aplay -L | grep -A 2 iec958

I see
iec958:CARD=Ed,DEV=0
Xonar U7 Echelon Ed., USB Audio
IEC958 (S/PDIF) Digital Audio Output

with iec958 on device 0 not device 1

How else can I try to force alsa to use device 1 for iec958?

Re: [Touch-packages] [Bug 1498129] Re: Asus Xonar U7 S/PDIF output not recognized by pulseaudio

2016-02-25 Thread g0ukb
Raymond - thanks - not sure how to define a pulseaudio.conf file, how to
name it, where it is referenced. Will have to go do some research.

Do you have any idea why the fix to USB-Audio.conf is not working? The card
name from aplay-l is definitely "Xonar U7 Echelon Ed." yet simply adding
"Xonar U7 Echelon Ed." 1 to the USB-Audio.pcm.iec958_device  section of
USB-Audio.conf does not work. Is there a problem because the card name ends
in a '.'?

As you say the problem is now very well defined - I just need alsa to
translate  iec958:x to hw:x,1 but I CANNOT make alsa do this.

I will go and  investigate pulseaudio but it would be good to work out an
alsa fix.

Thanks for your help
Brian

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1498129] Re: Asus Xonar U7 S/PDIF output not recognized by pulseaudio

2016-02-25 Thread g0ukb
I had to leave this for a while but I still cannot get this to work!!!

I follow these instructions
http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=253179

and from aplay -l I see:

card 2: Ed [Xonar U7 Echelon Ed.], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 2: Ed [Xonar U7 Echelon Ed.], device 1: USB Audio [USB Audio #1]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 2: Ed [Xonar U7 Echelon Ed.], device 2: USB Audio [USB Audio #2]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0


So unmute it with 
amixer -c2 sset 'IEC958 In' on

and check it works with 
speaker-test -Dhw:2,1 -c2
which works fine

trying mplayer
mplayer -afm hwac3 -ao alsa:device=hw=2.1 test.mp3
and yes - excellent sound out of the SPDIF


Sothe only thing that does not work is my change to USB-Audio.conf

I edit USB-Audio.conf and add the line   "Xonar U7 Echelon Ed." 1 as
below

USB-Audio.pcm.iec958_device {
# "NoiseBlaster 3000" 42   
"Xonar U7 Echelon Ed." 1

# The below don't have digital in/out, so prevent them from being 
opened.
"Blue Snowball" 999
"HP Digital Stereo Headset" 999
"Logitech Speaker Lapdesk N700" 999
"Logitech USB Headset" 999
"Logitech Wireless Headset" 999
"Plantronics GameCom 780" 999
"Plantronics USB Headset" 999
"Plantronics Wireless Audio" 999
"SB WoW Headset" 999
"Scarlett 2i2 USB" 999
"Sennheiser USB headset" 999
"USB Device 0x46d:0x992" 999
}

restart alsa and it DOES NOT WORK

I try speaker-test -Diec958:CARD=Ed,DEV=0 -c2

and get the following output
speaker-test 1.0.27.2

Playback device is iec958:CARD=Ed,DEV=0
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
Rate set to 48000Hz (requested 48000Hz)
Buffer size range from 32 to 262144
Period size range from 16 to 131072
Using max buffer size 262144
Periods = 4
was set period_size = 65536
was set buffer_size = 262144
 0 - Front Left
...

but NO sound

I  check
speaker-test -Dhw:2,1 -c2 
I get the same output WITH sound

So the problem appears to be the edit of USB-Audio.conf is not setting
iec958 to device 1.

Any further thoughts would be appreciated.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1498129] Re: Asus Xonar U7 S/PDIF output not recognized by pulseaudio

2015-12-10 Thread g0ukb
Raymond thank you for your help.

 I am still having problems.

If I run aplay -l or use alsamixer my card is reported as "Xonar U7
Echelon Ed."

here's  the relevant part from aplay -l
card 3: Ed [Xonar U7 Echelon Ed.], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 3: Ed [Xonar U7 Echelon Ed.], device 1: USB Audio [USB Audio #1]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 3: Ed [Xonar U7 Echelon Ed.], device 2: USB Audio [USB Audio #2]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

So I add

# number for the iec958 device can be changed here.
  USB-Audio.pcm.iec958_device {
 # "NoiseBlaster 3000" 42
 "USB Sound Blaster HD" 1
 "Xonar U7 Echelon Ed." 1

to USB-Audio.conf and restart audio with "pulseausio -k && sudo alsa
force-reload" and nothing changes

As before, pavucontrol shows "Digital Stereo (IEC958 Output)" as one of
the configuration options for card  "Xonar U7 Echelon Ed." but when I
select that option the card plays analog not digital.

So - either I need to do something else or I have the card name wrong.
How can I prove I have the correct card name?

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1498129] Re: Asus Xonar U7 S/PDIF output not recognized by pulseaudio

2015-12-08 Thread g0ukb
I have now proven that everything works if I manually set the iec958
sink via:

pactl load-module module-alsa-sink device=plughw:3,1

and as a workaround have added the load-module to my local default.pa
file

I don't have the skill to figure out why pulseaudio isn't picking this
up correctly

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1498129] Re: Asus Xonar U7 S/PDIF output not recognized by pulseaudio

2015-12-07 Thread g0ukb
What needs to be done to unexpire this? I have exactly the same problem.
Like the OP I have confirmed that aplay plays fine to the iec958 device
but pulseaudio seems to alias it's iec958 oputput to analog.  I also
have a colleague with the same card so this bug affects at least 3 of
us. My card is the Xonar U7 Echelon Edition which I believe is exactly
the same card as the OP, just different packaging and curiously a
different alsa-name:  Xonar U7 Echelon Ed.

I don't really understand alsa/pulseaudio config etc but happy to
product/hack config files etc. to test any ideas.

Since aplay to hw:3,1 worked for me I wondered if  Raymond's comment
about iec958 needing to be first device was the problem and simply
tried editing my USB-Audio.conf to be :

# If a device does not use the first PCM device for digital data, the device
# number for the iec958 device can be changed here.
USB-Audio.pcm.iec958_device {
# "NoiseBlaster 3000" 42
"Xonar U7 Echelon Ed." 1

This made no difference (but then I did say I don't understand
alsa/pulseaudio so was probably stupid)

Title:
  Asus Xonar U7 S/PDIF output not recognized by pulseaudio

Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  The external USB audio card Asus Xonar U7 is capable of both analog and 
digital output.
  ALSA name for the digital (S/PDIF) output is hw:1,1, and it is listed in 
aplay -l output, and aplay can output to it:
  aplay -D plughw:1,1 sample.wav. So, direct alsa sound works fine.

  However, pulseadio does not recognize the digital output of Xonar U7,
  it offers only analog output.
