Hi. Is anyone using rme multiface with the cardbus interface
on a linux laptop? I'm thinking of buying one to use with
live processing with pd. Are there any problems?
Does midi work?
I saw a message in the alsa-doc saying that you have
to downgrade the firmware (in windows), is this still true?

I have a Compaq Evo N400c, and I have absoulty no ida how to enable the sound.
Is there a linux howto on sound setup?

I hope this isn't a stupid question, but I'm fairly inexperienced with both linux and the ALSA driver. I believe I followed the instructions closely for building and installing the driver, libs, and utilities for ALSA; I have a PnP soundblaster 32 (AWE) card (not isa), and selected the sbawe name for the card from the table at www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/ . Everything seemed to be going okay, until I got to doing the modprobe to install the module in the kernel.
When I issued the "modprobe snd-sbawe" command, I got a failure. Since modprobe has a "-d" option, I have included it's output below, in case that yields a clue. I see that the insmod portion of the command failed, so I also issued that at top level, so you could all see the way that fails - issued by itself, it finds unresolved symbols - but I don't know if that is the way it failed inside modprobe. BTW, the "modprobe snd-seq-oss" failed with "device busy" - the other two modprobes seemed to succeed.
Can anyone tell me what I need to do?
Thanks in advance,
Max

Do you Yahoo!?
Yahoo! Platinum - Watch CBS' NCAA March Madness, live on your desktop!
Sorry if this question has been posed before, but I couldn't find anything
in a search of the archives.
I have a friend that needs to remove the vocals in one of her own songs
(due to a conflict in getting the masters back that is too long of a story
to go into right now). Are there any good Linux tools for this task?
Thank you for all of your help.

Hi all. Has anyone got a rme hdsp with firmware revision 11
working with alsa? If you do, could you send me your
hdsp.c (maybe hammerfall_mem.c too) as an attachment?
Or even better, a diff against current alsa cvs.
I'd *so* like to get my multiface running.
The red error led is nice, but a bit less than
what I need from the card :-)
If you have a non-working version, what error message
do you get from the driver in /var/log/messages?
I get:
Mar 23 16:54:29 kiertotahti kernel: Hammerfall memory allocator: no Hammerfall
cards found...
Mar 23 16:54:29 kiertotahti kernel: RME Hammerfall-DSP: no cards found
and on the command line:
[root@kiertotahti jaakko]# /sbin/modprobe snd-hdsp
/lib/modules/2.4.19scsi_lowlat_acpi/kernel/sound/pci/rme9652/snd-hdsp.o:
init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including
invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.19scsi_lowlat_acpi/kernel/sound/pci/rme9652/snd-hdsp.o:
insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.19scsi_lowlat_acpi/kernel/sound/pci/rme9652/snd-hdsp.o
failed
/lib/modules/2.4.19scsi_lowlat_acpi/kernel/sound/pci/rme9652/snd-hdsp.o:
insmod snd-hdsp failed
I'm just trying to track where the error is. I don't even know my firmware
version number but I suppose it's the latest since I just bought the multiface
a few days ago.

Hi folks
I don't have the bandwidth, download allowance, or time to grab a Planet
CCRMA kernel patched with low latency. I am wondering whether anybody knows
where I could find patches that would successfully patch the Mandrake 9.0
default kernel source for low latency and pre-empt.
Thanks in advance
Luke.
Hi!
I'm new to that list, i'm Alexander Feder, student in Vienna. I play
synthesizer and [E-]violin and finally want to try to sequence and record
what i'm playing.
It seems though there is lots to do before i can do that.
I've bought a M-Audio Audiophile 24/96 card which i've set up using Alsa.
Audio works fine when using the oss-emulation, but trying to access the
card directly (aplay -D hw:0,0, or using the alsa-xmms plugin or with ecasound)
fails with "Sample format non available".
Isn't that odd? I've thought alsa-oss-emulation would be just another
layer on top of what i would access when using aplay & co. ..
Recording works fine (also using oss), i've used ecasound for adding nice real
time effects while playing my e-violin. i can control everything with
envy24control though....
Another problem i have is sequencing, actually midi as a whole. Neither
outputting with pmidi, playmidi or muse works. I'm quite sure i've put
all cables correctly into the Audiophile and my Yamaha CS1x
synth. Both cables (male-male) are 5 pin, the one that i've plugged into
the [in] in my soundcard and to [out] on my synth has 3 pins used (4,2,5
- the three in the middle) and the other cable has all 5 pins used. I've
checked every combination with my ohm-meter, so there is no short-circuit.
All pins are mapped 1:1.
'pmidi -l' gives
64:0 Rawmidi 0 - M Audio Audiophile M Audio Audiophile 24/96 MPU-401
trying to output a midi file with pmidi (which i have successfully outputted
using playmidi on a pc with an sb16 and oss, iirc) results in no audible
result. :/ (pmidi -p 64:0 test.mid)
muse outputs something more interesting whenever a note should be played:
MidiAlsaDevice::putEvent(): midi write error, returns -19 expected 28:
No such device
Which i further find odd is that muse is not willing to start playing unless
i've first stepped into the config->audio system to apply the already activated
setting of No Audio. Before that the transport indicator will not move. Further
when i activate "Use Alsa" muse exits with the
"ALSA: Sample format not available" message.
So does this mean i can't trust what /proc/asound/seq/clients and pmidi -l says?
or does that mean that at the other end, where my synth should be, is no
device attached?
same problem in the other direction. muse does not receive any signals
from my cs1x. I've recorded with this cs1x successfully on another pc
with.. another os.. so i think the hardware works.
I'm using Debian GNU/Linux Sid on an Athlon, alsa 0.9.1-2 (for base and libs).
The things i described both happen on vanilla 2.4.20 with the alsa drivers
coming with debian (also 0.9.1-2) and on a 2.4.20 WOLK-kernel (rc3) with
the integrated alsa-drivers. (these behave slightly different, for example
i can't set the DAC volume with envy24control with the wolk-kernel - the
sliders don't move. this works fine with the vanilla kernel.)
what could i be doing wrong? or could it be that the soundcard itself is
broken? i have no other OS to falsify that.. :/
thank you very much for any help in advance
bye

Hi all
I got Red Hat 8.0 on my toshiba 4300 laptop (ymfpci sound card).
I followed all the planet ccrma install advices and ended with 'apt-get install muse'.
But just after launch muse core-dumps. If I run 'muse some_song.mid' in a terminal I just can see the window with all the midi parts and then it disappears. It writes 'segmentation fault'.
With my ymfpci card, I was able to play midifiles with playmidi (with Mandrake 9.0) . Everythings seems fine except midi sequencers. I wasn't able to run no midi sequencers either with Mandrake 9, that's why I tried Red Hat.
I believe muse works perfectly good on other machines with red hat and planet ccrma. Everyone says that it works flawlessly, but mine doesn't :((
Anyone has a clue to why muse can't run ?

I am pleased to announce Octavian - a realtime software synthesizer for GNU\Linux
operating system.
Octavians's design is like analog modular synthesizers, so it can be used both as
synth and as effect processor. Modular tasks separation allow to extend
possibilities in simple way. Modules can be connected between each other via
channels.
Features:
Audio Input/Output:
- OSS
- JACK
MIDI Input/Output:
- OSS
- ALSA
Plugin's compatability:
- native modules
- LADSPA
This is first pre-beta release. It is a big subject for changes and improvements,
so please send your wishes and bugreports.
