Hi LADs We are working on an ARM based MOD device and while fiddling with JACK some questions appeared. I didn't know whether to post on the ALSA os JACK lists, so I decided to post here :-) When I start Jack in my PC I get the well know message: /usr/bin/jackd -P80 -dalsa -r48000 -p128 -n2 -D -Chw:0 -Phw:0 creating alsa driver ... hw:0|hw:0|128|2|48000|0|0|nomon|swmeter|-|32bit configuring for 48000Hz, period = 128 frames (2.7 ms), buffer = 2 periods ALSA: final selected sample format for capture: 32bit integer little-endian ALSA: use 2 periods for capture ALSA: final selected sample format for playback: 32bit integer little-endian ALSA: use 2 periods for playback When starting it on the Beaglebone Black I get: /usr/bin/jackd --realtime -P80 -dalsa -r48000 -p128 -n2 -Xraw creating alsa driver ... hw:0|hw:0|128|2|48000|0|0|nomon|swmeter|-|32bit configuring for 48000Hz, period = 128 frames (2.7 ms), buffer = 2 periods ALSA: final selected sample format for capture: 32bit integer little-endian ALSA: use 16 periods for capture ALSA: final selected sample format for playback: 32bit integer little-endian ALSA: use 16 periods for playback - what are those "periods" in the ALSA lines? (2 for the PC and 16 for the BBB) ? I read a post by Jeremy Jongepier about the Cubieboard2 stating that the hardcoded values for the Cubie (Minimum number of periods was 4 and minimum buffer size was 1024) where unfit for realtime operation. Why is that so? - on the ArchWiki page on Jack there is a D-bus call jack_control eps realtime true stating that it "Sets JACK to realtime mode in its own internal setup." What is this internal setup? How do I address this when not using D-Bus? King regards all Gianfranco Ceccolini The MOD Team PS: We will be at LAC againd this year. I'm very eager to meet most of this distinguished community members there. We have lots of good new for the MOD in 2014.

OpenAV : ArtyFX 1.1

by Harry van Haaren

Hey All, Its my pleasure to announce ArtyFX 1.1, with three new plugins! The plugin are distortion, feedback delay, and 4-band eq. Demo video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPQOZK-yKy8 ArtyFX page: http://openavproductions.com/artyfx/ OpenAV wishes to thank Steve Harris for authoring Barry's Satan Maximizer: Satma's DSP routine is derived from that work. OpenAV also wishes to thank Fons Adriaensen for writing the 4-band parameteric equalizer, as Kuiza uses his implementation as DSP routine. Contributions to release ArtyFX 1.1 welcomed, see the ArtyFX page for details: http://openavproductions.com/artyfx Cheers, -Harry

plugin updates

by Fons Adriaensen

Some updates to <http://kokkinizita.linuxaudio.org/linuxaudio/downloads/index.html> REV-plugins-0.7.1 * Removed G2reverb from the .so, see below. g2reverb-0.7.1 * Contains the G2reverb plugin from earlier REV-plugins. * Plugin file name is now the same as in the original (2003) version, so AMS patches using this should load without error. WAH-plugins-0.1.0 * Some cleanup, unique ID of the auto-wah changed to 1949 to avoid conflict with recent stereo panner plugins. Ciao, -- FA A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia. It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris and hysterically inflated market opportunities. (Cory Doctorow)

No sound with JACK over net

by Simon Price

Hi all, I'm trying to configure jackd -d net The master machine with the hardware sees my soundcard fine. All looks good as it comes up. I start the slave, which connects to the master machine fine and picks up the right settings such as sample rate. I've tried changing this on the master and they are successfully picked up on the slave so I know this is all talking properly. I also get the 'Connected :-)' message on the master so I'm pretty sure this is all OK. On the slave where I run the application all of the connections appear and look good. However, no matter what I do I never get any sound! I know the card and everything else is OK because if I use the simple alsa 'play' command on the master it comes through loud and clear. I'm using CentOS (headless) on the master which reports jackdmp 1.9.5 On the slave I'm running Mint which reports jackd 0.122.0 These are the standard downloaded packages from the Any ideas? Thank you, Simon

Re: [LAD] Audio problem for numerical optimization

The difference is that my (2) only requires programming skills, while (1) would require familiarity with the application domain. A trivial example: say you have a vector of 1024 floating point values and you need to compute log10 of all of them. In a general purpose routine you have no choice but to test each value x for x > 0.0, and that is something we like to avoid inside a loop or in vector code. But if you know the application domain, you may know that all values will be > -0.001, and that adding 0.002 to them won't affect the result in any way that matters in practice. So you can just compute log10 (x + 0.002) and remove the test. In real-world cases such changes may be much more invasive. For example, when designing a demodulator/decoder for a telecom system, you will have a 'degradation budget', say 0.1 dB. This means that your algorithm is allowed to perform as if the S/N ratio of the input signal was 0.1 dB less than it really is. You're free to spend that 0.1 dB wherever you want. But you can do this only if you understand the consequences of e.g. using a less accurate computation at some point, and are able to demonstrate (by analysis) that you remain within the budget by doing so. This requires understanding the algorithm at a much deeper level than would be required to code it given a detailed description. > We will have to submit code to a university-internal repository and it will run > through some software plagiarism system. Would that be a problem? No, but I can't reveal the actual way it will be used. Ciao, -- FA A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia.

Audio problem for numerical optimization

by user web210p1

Hi! I'm currently taking a course in University called "How to write fast numerical code". We are to do a group project of 3 persons where we choose a numerical algorithm and optimize it over the course for a particular processor (e.g. apply vectorization, cache optimization etc...). I was wondering if there is an interesting algorithm in audio processing that we could apply. In particular, if there is any library developer out here that would be interested in an optimization of one of the algorithms used, we would be happy to contribute. Ideally, the problem is compute intensive (i.e. bottleneck of algorithm is not the memory hierarchy). FFT is used as an example in the lecture so it cannot be used, unless there is a significant additional computation involved. Thanks very much for suggestions, Jeremia

JACK on Gigaport HD+ at 4800kHz (reduced channel count)

by Jörn Nettingsmeier

Hi *! I'm trying to get my Gigaport HD+ to run at 48000kHz. The specs say it is capable of 8ch @ 44k1/16, 6ch at 44k1/24 and 48k/24. When I try to start it at 48k, it comes up ok but ends up running at 44k1. It shows 8 channels, so that's expected. Now, how do I tell it to use only 6, so that I can get to 48k? I've tried setting -o6, which gives the usual "cannot set playback channel count". Next I looked at amixer -D hw:3 controls, and there is a playback switch map that is set to "on,on,on,on,on,on,on,on". I set it to "on,on,on,on,on,on,off,off" and retry. No luck. Still fails to set playback channel count, JACK still comes up with 8 outs and falls back to 44k1. What am I missing? Is there some .asoundrc magic that might come to the rescue? Maybe define a device that has only 6 channels to begin with? But how do I do that? Any hints much appreciated.

Spam on LAA

by Andres Cabrera

Hi, I saw a message with this title in LAA: lm3jo en deb version 1.1.1-5 It has a link to a deb file, which looks very suspicios. Is it malware for Debian? It would be the proof that this is the year of the Linux desktop. Cheers, Andrés

Without wanting to hijack the thread (your subject is NetJack but your question more general), I had a similar use case and this could be useful to you: http://www.pogo.org.uk/~mark/trx/ Thanks -- Mark
