[linux-audio-user] Gstreamer-Properties and ALSA/JACK

by Alex Combas

Hi folks, Im an audio newbies running gentoo-1.4 Im using the alsa drivers for my SBLive5.1 card and when I run gstreamer-properties (version gstreamer-0.6.1-r1) the only setting that will produce sound output is OSS ..its kind of irritating to know that all of my gnome apps that use gstreamer are feeding the sound to OSS instead of alsa or jack both of which are in the menulist of options for gstreamer-properties. So basically I was wondering if I am suppost to do something special to make gstreamer work with AlSA or JACK.. obviousely there must be some sort of gotcha somewhere that Im not aware of. Thanks. Any {help|info|guidance} would be greatly appreciated. -- Alex Combas <ghetto_samurai(a)shaw.ca> This message is digitally signed.

[linux-audio-user] No CD audio!

by Tim

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, My CD will not pass the audio of CDs to the onboard sound. If I use XMMS and the libcdaudio plugin, the disc is seen and played but no sound comes through (Geforce nForce audio which is run with Intel ICH kernel configuration). CDtool also is unable to play audio CDs, with the error cdplay: ioctl cdrommsf even as root, so not a permissions problem. cdir and cdeject work. It works just fine using SCSI emulation, I can mound data CDs, write CD-Rs, rip audio CDs. My onboard sound works otherwise, successfully playing from the hard disk. I have had the CD drive replaced already for another reason, but the problem remains. There is no play button on the fascia of the drive, or headphone socket. Has anyone got any suggestions for my quandry? I'm using Debian 3.0r0, Linux kernel 2.4.18 TIA, Tim -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQE+rDqOsUUdIDHrdAURAuk2AJ9heiavwIfvIUu/qOKvrqzpECaLaACgowaG yu3etB+NGL4QfU+QLf6rEO8= =2eF6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[linux-audio-user] Resampling loop libraries

by Mark Knecht

Hi, I have some Acid loops that I want to change the tempo and pitch on fairly radically. Acid does this itself, but only does a good job over fairly small ranges. Is there any non-realtime Linux app that can take a Acid wave file and change it's length and pitch, write its output to a new wave file, and do a high quality job of it? Thanks in advance, Mark

[linux-audio-user] SPDIF questions

by Tim

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 1. How does a linux system normally access an SPDIF connection? Would this be through /dev/dsp1? Or is it normally passed to the default sound processor (/dev/dsp)? 2. I fear my SPDIF connection won't allow _INPUT_ of signals? I'd like to use the optical connection to attach a friends minidisc, to record his mixing onto my harddrive. I have a card connected the three motherboard SPDIF pins, with two external outlets-SPDIF and optical. My motherboard manual says 'these connectors supply an SPDIF audio cable that outputs digital audio'. The diagram indicates the three connectors are +5V, SPDIFOUT, and GND. Doesn't look good does it? Is this one of the reasons people end up buying sound cards with oodles of connections? For the record, the motherboard is an ASUS A7N266-VM, AMD Athlon 2200XP, I'm running Debian 3.0r0/Linux 2.4.18.

[linux-audio-user] External Sound Card

by Rajdeep Pradhan

Hi, I am looking for an external sound capturing device for my laptop. All I need is one stereo recording interface, which my laptop does not provide. On searching the archive, I have shortlisted a few options: 1. MAudio MobilePre - 149$ 2. MAudio Audiophile - 199$ 3. Edirol UA20 - 169$ 4. Edirol UA3D - 169$ The microphones I intend to use does require preamp. I guess its better to provide preamp with external battery pack rather than the bus powered boxes to minimise self noise. Please help me choose the best! Thanks a lot for your time. Rajdeep _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?

[linux-audio-user] ICE1712 & Quake?

by Paul Winkler

Did anybody ever get a game such as QIII arena to work with an ice1712? linux games seem to work with ALSA only by using the OSS emulation, and they seem to want to access the card via mmap. i wonder if i could get it to work with my delta66 via a clever .asoundrc setup??? -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com

[linux-audio-user] xmms libcdaudio

by derek holzer

this should be a no-brainer for somebody here! how can i get the libcdaudio plugin for XMMS to load an audio CD? when i go to directory /cdrom in the player's file browser, i see subdirectory cdrom0, but i can't get it to open the audio CD to play. a program like workman recognizes the CD fine. only problem there is that i scrapped the OSS drivers for the Alsa ones, so i get no sound! has anybody else had this problem? derek

[linux-audio-user] Terratec 6Fire DMX and digital out?

by Erik de Castro Lopo

Hi all, I've just acquired the above card (using ice1712 chip) and I'm trying to get the coaxial digital out working. I have envy24control running and I'm playing an MP3 file. "HW Out 1" and "HW Out 2" are sourced from "Digital Mix 1" and "Digital Mix 2" and I can hear them on the headphone out. I have also routed "Digital Mix 1" and "Digital Mix2" to "S/PDIF Out L" and "S/PDIF Out R" but I don't seem to be getting any S/PDIF output signal. Anybdy have any light to shed? Thanks, Erik -- +-----------------------------------------------------------+ Erik de Castro Lopo nospam(a)mega-nerd.com (Yes it's valid) +-----------------------------------------------------------+ J.
