Hi, I dloaded alsa 0.9.0rc3 I have a custom built 2.4.7-10 kernel My kernel sources reside at /usr/src/linux-2.4.7-10 and my kernel modules at /lib/modules/2.4.7-10custom I have a CMI8738 I used the following set of commands: ./configure --with-kernel=/usr/src/linux-2.4.7-10/ --with-moddir=/lib/modules/2.4.7-10custom/ --with-cards=cmipci --with-sequencer=yes and the regular make and make install. during make install a lot on unresolved dependancies show up. I am unable to insert the snd-cmipci module due to these unresolved dependancies. any clues to what could be the problem? One more question... will i be able to play sound from multiple sources (without using arts/esd) with the alsa drivers. Thanx, Nanda

Re: [linux-audio-user] strange problems with snd

by Bill Schottstaedt

On the Lesstif/Motif business, you can find out which library is loaded with ldd snd. There's a --with-motif-prefix configure switch if configure is finding Lesstif instead of Motif. I've also noticed the empty-box-where-glyph-should-be-bug even when all the correct fonts are loaded, but I was putting off looking into it -- there's always the hope that no-one else would notice... I'm told that someone is making a real effort to fix Lesstif, so maybe it will be usable someday soon.

> Btw, is Guile 1.6.0 now the recommended version for building Snd ? Yes; the CVS version (1.7) is also good.

[linux-audio-user] Quicktoot release number 8

by Patrick Shirkey

We are pleased to announce Quicktoot release number 8 ---------------------------------- Recording Audio from JACK-Enabled Applications in Ardour written by Tony Schiavone. http://www.boosthardware.com/LAU/quicktoots/ If you don't know how to do this you don't know JACK! Essential reading for anyone who wants to get multiple audio apps working in realtime with low latency in the Linux environment. JACK is the Jack Audio Connection Kit - the Linux answer to Core Audio. Ardour is a professional Digital Audio Workstation. MusE is a professional MIDI editor. You want to have these working together like Tux needs water. ----------------------------------- The purpose of the Quicktoots are to provide a community resource of informative guides for using Linux audio applications. The Quicktoots are the brainchild of Dave Phillips the man responsible for the most comprehensive webpage devoted to Linux audio applications. The Linux Sound and Midi page. Your one stop resource for Linux sound software. http://www.bright.net/~dlphilp/linuxsound/ If you are in the position to link to any of the quicktoots please link to the main page. That way we can keep more accurate statistics on the amount of people viewing the pages. If you are interested in contributing to the Quicktoots please let us know. All work must be submitted to either Dave or myself and we will give advice or make changes to ensure our publishing standard is met. If you are not able to send html don't worry because I am willing to format any braindumps. Enjoy. -- Patrick Shirkey - Boost Hardware Ltd.

[linux-audio-user] A Newbie's New System?

by Scott Downie

Mark, > I also use an Audiophile 2496. That's 4 in - 4 out for about $150-$175. Two analog and two s/pdif. I could live with that. I do want S/PDIF for interfacing with my external decoder, the SB on my Windows machine, and my MiniDisc machine. Old-fashioned analog would be nice because I could connect directly to my old-fashioned analog mixer. But I don't see any Linux drivers for the 2496. If I could get away with AMD, I probably would. Otherwise, I'd consider plunking for a 1.8 GHz Celeron. Since my two main Windows computers are running ASUS boards, I certainly have nothing against ASUS. I just want to head off as many incompatibilities as I can up front. Thanks! Scott

[linux-audio-user] Motherboard recommendations?

by Paul Winkler

Hi all, Well, my old soyo mobo seems to have fried. I see tons of possibilities on the market, but hey, this is audio... we have weird needs and sometimes it's hard to tell from a spec sheet.. Can anybody recommend motherboards and/or chipsets that meet these criteria? - good for low-latency audio work, e.g. don't have nasty southbridge bugs (or at least have good kernel workarounds) - ATX form factor - will take a PIII 866 (coppermine, socket 370) - Dual CPU capability would be nice, that'll probably be my next upgrade - will take PC-133 memory, at least 512 MB - onboard IDE must work with CDDA (ripping) - no built-in video - no built-in audio, or at least it can be disabled or safely ignored - won't fry after a year and a half of routine use :( -- Paul Winkler "Welcome to Muppet Labs, where the future is made - today!"

[linux-audio-user] m-audio delta 410 anyone?

by nick

Hi Has anyone had any experience trying to get this card to work? http://www.midiman.com/products/m-audio/delta410.php In theory it should since its the same chipset, but it would be good to hear first hand.. thanks -Nick __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Some of the ASUS motherboards had problems, perhaps? I don't remember. I just want to make sure that the motherboard works with the soundcard and the networking card and the video card and all the other little cards we crave. > The hammerfall dsp retails for around 6-800 us$ I don't need every single bell and whistle. It looks like the Hammerfall DIGI9636 would work for me. Since it retails for $565, it must be available elsewhere at a lower price. Right? Or maybe the M-Audio route is the most cost effective? > Unless you don't mind debugging, a USB card may not be what you are looking for for a few more months yet. I don't necessarily mind debugging, but I don't want that to be a huge timesink. It doesn't sound like Linux is quite ready for USB audio. Since USB is not a deal breaker for me, I can live with non-USB options. > How many channels do you need? Four would be nice. I'm easy! Thanks! Scott

[linux-audio-user] A Newbie's New System?

by Scott Downie

Thanks for all your replies! The list of ALSA-supported devices is very handy. I had figured that since M-Audio didn't have much Linux-oriented info on their site, their Linux support was sketchy. I was wrong. And now that I know the M-Audio stuff all works, the Delta 66 is looking pretty good. It will be a toss up between that and the Audiophile. I'm doing homework this morning, primarily based on Tom's Hardware Guide. Although the AMD systems have, not surprisingly, a price/performance edge, it's not as great an edge as I had suspected now that Intel's 845G chipset is out. Given Mark's intriguing comment about making various devices work together as one, the fact that the Gigabyte GA-8IGXP has built-in S/PDIF out is interesting. Here's my very brief take on the core components: * P4 2 GHz--$160 * Gigabyte GA-8IGXP (Built-in graphics, S/PDIF out, FireWire)--$100 vs. * Athlon XP 2000--$90 * Gigabyte GA-7VRXP--$100 Steve's comment prompted me to look up the state of the Celeron. I hadn't really paid too much attention to the P4-derived Celeron until now, but Steve is right: If you're going to go Intel, it looks like you might as well go the full P4 route. Oh well. Budgets were made to be broken, I guess. Thanks! Scott
