Okay Patrick... more headaches for you maybe?
I finally bought a Quattro. All seems fine except I can't read/write to it.
I assume it has something to do with this 'initialization' problem Takashi has
mentioned, but I'm not sure. I'm really hoping to get this working soon so I
can include it in the next Mandrake Audio HowTo blah blah.
I used Patrick's .asoundrc, and the module loads fine. Everything that one
expects shows up in /proc/asound.
[root@gamma373-165 austin]# ls /proc/asound
card0/ cards devices modules oss/ pcm Quattro@ seq/ timers version
But I can't seem to use it:
[root@gamma373-165 austin]# alsaplayer
ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:1055:(snd_pcm_hw_open) open /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p failed: No
such device
snd_pcm_open: No such device (default)
qinit seems to segfault:
[root@gamma373-165 austin]# ./qinit
Initialising quattro
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Then nothing works:
[root@gamma373-165 austin]# alsaplayer -d Quattro
ALSA lib pcm.c:1908:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM Quattro
snd_pcm_open: No such file or directory (Quattro)
[root@gamma373-165 austin]# alsaplayer -d q4
ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:1055:(snd_pcm_hw_open) open /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p failed: No
such device
snd_pcm_open: No such device (q4)
[root@gamma373-165 austin]# aplay -D Quattro apathetic.wav
ALSA lib pcm.c:1908:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM Quattro
aplay: main:484: audio open error: No such file or directory
BTW, this is Mandrake Cooker (gcc 3.3.1, alsa 0.9.6, glibc 2.3.2, linux
2.4.21.6mdk). Any help at all is appreciated.
Thanks,
Austin

Several people have asked me what denormal numbers are over the last few
weeks, well heres a much better description than my rambling head
scratching: http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~swh/denormal.ps

Hello,
I tried to connect MAudio USB audio interface Sonica on my Compaq Laptop with
vector Linux. the light on Sonica is tunred ON meaning that it used
electricty from USB port, but I cannot hear any sound. DO you know how to
set up Sonica to work under Linux?
Thanks,
Vedran Vucic
Dear colleagues,
As far as I see Sonica does have two important chips only. AKM AK4353VF and
Texas Instruments TAS 1020A. Maybe this can help in creating firmware
downloader for Sonica.
Maybe TI can offer specification.
All the best,
Vedran Vucic

Hi
I'm now 1 small step from getting a laptop for music applications
(mainly live csound, but also some sequencer (muse?), some soft synths
(csound/PD), some sample playback + maybe HD-recording.
I'm looking at 2 machines
a)P4 2.4Ghz, 256Mb RAM, 20Gb HD, 1400x1050
b)P4 2.66Ghz, 512Mb RAM, 40Gb HD, 1024x768
Since I'm comming from AMD K6-300, 256Mb RAM, 8Gb HD, I cannot judge if
a) is gonna be too small for my use? Every salesperson will tell you
that you *have* to have 512Mb RAM, since they're assuming you're running
WinXP, how true is this with linux. I don't see the smaller HD as a big
problem, although the bigger the better...
Any thoughts are appreciated.

Have any of the many gentoo users tried the mm-sources. Is it
just the low-latency patch? Does this mean anything for 2.5 and
now, wow, I see 2.6?

I have not yet tried it. My project this past weekend was figuring out
the ecasound chain settup for a project I've had in mind for years...
It's exciting to have finally made some progress on it. :)
Hopefully this coming weekend, or possibly wednesday of this week, I'll
try the remote 25. I'm not exactly sure how to proceed. I haven't used
any usb devices before, so I don't know what I need to do to test it.
Is there a FAQ, howto or quicktoot on setting up a USB MIDI device? If
not I'll write up something basic if I can get this working.
I know I'll need to recompile the kernel with usb support, but looking
at it briefly in make menuconfig there appear to be a lot of options.
These seem the most pertinent:
CONFIG_USB (obviously)
CONFIG_USB_UHCI_ALT (turned on by default when CONFIG_USB is selected)
CONFIG_USB_AUDIO ??? is this needed for a midi device, or is that only
for USB audio interfaces?
Anything else? there are some verbose debugging options or something
like that. Are those helpful?
Presumably some userspace packages need to be installed (i'm on debian
testing at home): hotplug, usbmgr, libusb
Then there are the alsa modules: usb-audio, serialmidi(probably this
isn't needed?)
I'll need to install an application for it to talk to as well. I'll
probably try it with ams or ssm.
Anyway, to answer your question, I haven't had time to try it, yet. But,
I will soon. I'll let you know what I find out.
-Eric Rz.
Then there are the alsa modules --
