And there is also a pcHDTV-3000 which has a connexant audio but its obviously
a mic level output, and since tvtime doesn't work on the video card
associated with the last device listed above, the point is moot till it does
work.
The first device above I have not been able to get a peep out of, so I've made
the second one, the Audigy2, the default. And I have NDI where to plug
anything that looks like audio into that ATI based HD-2400-Pro video card,
but lspci says its there.
Testing the sound for the audigy2 in system-config-soundcard works, but places
like utube are silent. As is cnn et all since the last reboot.
2 questions:
do we have a 'vu meter' that can be switched to monitor the various audio
inputs?
And when I had to reinstall, I see that pulseaudio was installed, and a now
frozen 'lsof|grep audio' returns this, but has not returned a prompt.
[root@coyote cards]# lsof |grep audio
pulseaudi 3473 root txt REG 8,3 57972
53801556 /usr/bin/pulseaudio
artsd 3528 root mem REG 8,3 96380

artsd 3528 root mem REG 8,3 171580
5603705 /usr/lib/libaudiofile.so.0.0.2
Is this yet another case where I need to remove as much PA as I can in order
to get working sound again, or is there a configurator for this PITA that
might be able to fix this? The silence here is deafening.
Thanks.

Hi :)
my reply might fail the topic, but maybe there is something in common.
I have an ASUS M2A-VM HDMI. I disabled on-board audio and HDMI and
removed the HDMI PCIe card.
If I try to use MIDI applications like Rosegarden, Qtractor and soft
synth like Qsynth (using an USB MIDI IO device and a Envy24 based sound
card) I only get crashes.
I tried to generate a core file, but this didn't work until now, so I
have no information about what is going wrong at the moment.
Okay, in my case it's not audio that's not working, but MIDI, anyway,
both has to do with ALSA.
I'm sorry if this is something complete different.
Cheers,
Ralf

I think it is Ralf, here, when the Audigy2 is running, it has a midi port,
just feed it the file and it plays, if your startup (rc.local) feeds it the
cd's soundfont file using asfxload IIRC. Here, I've since found pavumeter,
and somehow set up a simultainious feed in PA, and if I play a cnn news
video, or a utube video, this pavumeter shows the audio is making it that
far, but from there I guess it goes to /dev/null.
Maybe that is YAC? (yet Another Clue)
I haven't tried to play a midi file, hang on a sec, darn, no .midi files
survived the drive crash so I can't test that ATM.
Someone suggested I run, as root, update-pciids, which did then allow the
video card to be identified, but not its ATI audio on the same card:
03:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc RV610 audio device [Radeon HD 2400
PRO]
Subsystem: Diamond Multimedia Systems Unknown device aa10
Thanks Ralf. I added the LAD list to the CC line as I see this is a private
msg. Normally a reply goes only to the list, so you'll get two copies I
suspect. I guess the list server isn't setting the Reply-to: line?

To test audio w/o pulseaudio, you can take some wave file and run
pasuspender aplay foo.wav
or just kill it: pulseaudio -k
The ATI device in your lspci output could be the HDMI audio out.
Try to run "update-pciids" as root, maybe lspci shows a correct
description then (instead of unknown device)

And there is also a pcHDTV-3000 which has a connexant audio but its
obviously a mic level output, and since tvtime doesn't work on the
video card associated with the last device listed above, the point is
moot till it does work.
The first device above I have not been able to get a peep out of, so
I've made the second one, the Audigy2, the default. And I have NDI
where to plug anything that looks like audio into that ATI based
HD-2400-Pro video card, but lspci says its there.
Testing the sound for the audigy2 in system-config-soundcard works,
but places like utube are silent. As is cnn et all since the last
reboot.
2 questions:
do we have a 'vu meter' that can be switched to monitor the various
audio inputs?
And when I had to reinstall, I see that pulseaudio was installed, and
a now frozen 'lsof|grep audio' returns this, but has not returned a
prompt. [root@coyote cards]# lsof |grep audio
pulseaudi 3473 root txt REG 8,3 57972
53801556 /usr/bin/pulseaudio
artsd 3528 root mem REG 8,3 96380
53795593 /usr/lib/libaudio.so.2.4
artsd 3528 root mem REG 8,3 171580
5603705 /usr/lib/libaudiofile.so.0.0.2
Is this yet another case where I need to remove as much PA as I can
in order to get working sound again, or is there a configurator for
this PITA that might be able to fix this? The silence here is
deafening.
Thanks. or just kill it: pulseaudio -k
Which gets me this error now:
[root@coyote cards]# pulseaudio -k
[root@coyote cards]# aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
*** PULSEAUDIO: Unable to connect: Connection refused
aplay: main:564: audio open error: Connection refused
I restarted PA, it bitched about being run as root, and re-ran your sample
with and without the pasuspender prefix, no errors reported and pavumeter
watching the simultainious output was as silent as the rest of the room.
The ATI device in your lspci output could be the HDMI
audio out.
Try to run "update-pciids" as root, maybe lspci shows a correct
description then (instead of unknown device)
Only partially, now it says:
=====
03:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc RV610 audio device [Radeon HD 2400
PRO]
Subsystem: Diamond Multimedia Systems Unknown device aa10
[...]
=======
But this card does not, to my knowledge have any audio output facilities
unless it is part of the digital connection to the monitor, a Samsung BW-205,
and there are no audio jacks in evidence on it either.
HTH,
Thomas
I hope this info is helping, I'm not grokking it so far.
Thanks Thomas

To test audio
w/o pulseaudio, you can take some wave file and run
pasuspender aplay foo.wav
This gets me dead silence, both from the speakers plugged into the
Audigy2, and from a phone type headset plugged into the 'lime' jack
called front speakers on the motherboard.

so
aplay -Dhw:0 == card 0
aplay -Dhw:1 == card 1
etc..
No such socket on this video card. analog/svga(db15), svhs and digital only.
I just rebooted as something was preventing me from restarting the ktorrent
gui(and still is), and there was a message box on screen after x had started
telling me the default device refused permissions and that the sound server
would continue using /dev/null, so now we know where the audio is going, but
not why. What do I inspect and chmod to get that going, as root?
I restarted PA, it bitched about being run as
root, and re-ran your
sample with and without the pasuspender prefix, no errors reported
and pavumeter watching the simultainious output was as silent as the
rest of the room.
