I'm not surprised that noone reads laa.; Lots of people are crossposting their announcements to lau, and some even add lad to the list. If people would stop doing this, there would be incentive to read laa. -- Han-Wen Nienhuys | hanwen(a)cs.uu.nl | http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen

[linux-audio-user] Tracking down overruns

by Benji Flaming

Greetings all! I am attempting to initiate a long unattended 2-channel audio recording - perhaps lasting for an hour or two - but I am prevented from doing so by periodic overruns which occur at regular intervals. This interval changes according to my system configuration. Currently, I consistently get an overrun about 20 minutes after I start recording. My system is an AMD Athlon XP 1700+ with 256mb DDR266 memory. Video card is an ATI Radeon 7500/64mb. Sound card is an M-Audio Audiophile 2496. I'm running Slackware 9.0. My kernel version is 2.6.test5. Prior to this kernel I was using 2.4.21 with low-latency and preemptible kernel patches - with exactly the same overrun issue. I'm using jackd version 0.79.2, Ardour/GTK 0.378.0, and libardour 0.686.0 (all built from CVS source a few weeks ago.) I'm starting jackd with the command: jackd -v -a -R -d alsa -d ice1712 -r 44100 -p 2048 I don't want to clog everyone's mailbox with an even bigger message, so I've posted a bit of additional info online. Results from running latancytest0.42-png: http://www.comevisit.com/NorthernSunrise/latency/3x256.html http://www.comevisit.com/NorthernSunrise/latency/test2/3x256.html My .config file from my most recent 2.6.test5 kernel build: http://www.comevisit.com/NorthernSunrise/latency/.config My jack, and ardour version numbers, and hdparm info for hda and hdb: http://www.comevisit.com/NorthernSunrise/latency/configuration I can see from the latency tests that *something* is causing spikes, particularly during disk write, but I'm not sure how to determine precisely what it is. Is there any way to obtain a snapshot of processor usage at the exact moment of an overrun? Any help or advice (or reminders about what info I've neglected to give) would be very much appreciated! |) |)enji Benjamin Flaming -------------------- "The trouble with computers, of course, is that they're very sophisticated idiots."

[linux-audio-user] Compile shaketracker

by Gerrit Niestijl

Hi, A few months ago someone on this list managed to compile shaketracker with gcc-3.x. He offered to make a patch if anyone was interested. Is that offer still valid? I am on redhat 9 (planet), and i have no skills to get there myself. I also would like to try ttrk, but this one also fails to compile on my box. Any help would be greatly appreciated! -- Gerrit

[linux-audio-user] RME hammerfall DSP Multiface: help needed

by Robert Epprecht

I'm having a hard time bringing my new RME pci interface and Multiface to run... and would appreciate some help ;-) I'm working on Debian/unstable, have compiled the kernel with lowlat and preempt, installed ALSA, inserted the hdsp modul, made a basic ~/.asoundrc, compiled hdsploader from alsa-tools and with the friendly help of Thomas Charbonnel also hdspmixer. hdsploader loads the firmware (well it does the *second* time I run it, which is a known problem, as Thomas told me). The error LED on the Multiface is off. Input (on analog input1) *does* show in hdspmixer (only in the *input* channel, nowhere else), but I can't get any sound. Hmm, here I have the first question: Do I have to run alsamixer or hdspmixer or both to unmute the channels? (I have tried all of this). I have tried to feed a signal to analog input 1 and get it out from analog output 1. I have also tried to set the internal routing with amixer, but don't know if I have done that right... Well, the doc says hdsp defaults to route inputx to outputx anyway. But I can't hear anything... I have tried 'cat some.wav > /dev/dsp' no sound, no errors. (where would the error message show up?) I do hear a high pitched hiss on line out, nothing else. Please tell me: What would be the most basic procedure that should produce sound output on the Multiface? What diagnostic information can I give you to find out why it is not running yet? Thanks a lot for any hints! Robert Epprecht

[linux-audio-user] Message about Ardour(the last?)

by Alexander

Hi! Finaly I can run jackd and compile Adour. But I can't run Ardour. I can see the splash screen, but Ardour killing itself. So: # ardour Ardour/GTK 0.380.1 running with libardour 0.686.3 Loading UI configuration file /usr/local/ardour/ardour_ui.rc Loading system configuration file /usr/local/etc/ardour/ardour_system.rc Loading user configuration file /usr/local/etc/ardour/ardour.rc ardour: [WARNING]: MMC MIDI port "trident" not available: no MMC control possible 343: received signal 4 ardour is killing itself for a clean exit Killed I don't get Ardour using CVS because I can't connect the cvsroot. So, I get the file ardour_current-cvs.tar in the website of Ardour. What is MIDI port "trident"? I haven't hardware trident, any, in my computer. The TODO file say: "don't initiate MIDI binding if there is no MMC control". Is it my answer? But where I disable "MIDI binding"? I don't make any change in the files *.rc But after this error I remove any line about MMC or MIDI and I get the same error. Somebody can help me? Thanks! Alexander

Re: [linux-audio-user] YMFPCI hardware midi/snd-mp401-uart Problem

by BartonBosch＠aol.com

snd-mpu401-uart is the driver for the external MIDI port (you'd need a gameport/MIDI adapter for this). snd-rawmidi is an ALSA module handling device file management and buffering for MIDI ports. snd-opl3-lib is the driver for the OPL3 FM synth. Thanks, got it. So if I wanted to deal with the FM sound quality I could use the legacy synth? I guess Muse uses the ALSA sequencer. Run "aconnect -o" to see a list of output ports. This is the output of aconnect -o when both TiMidity and MusE are running: [barton@localhost barton]$ aconnect -o client 128: 'Client-128' [type=user] 0 'TiMidity port 0 ' 1 'TiMidity port 1 ' client 129: 'MusE Sequencer' [type=user] 0 'MusE Port 0 ' >Checking /proc/asound/devices does not list any midi devices, Did you specifiy the parameters for snd-ymfpci in modules.conf? (e.g. mpu_port=0x330 fm_port=0x388) No I didn't. So to use alsa with the midi port that is on the motherboard I would need to configure the memory address mpu_port=0x330 in /etcmodules.conf? Does the line need to go in a specific place, and is that the exact syntax? Is this documented somewhere? I have installed alsa manually on this machine before (this time I used the Planet RPMs and alsaconf) and I don't remember seeing anything that referrred to memory addresses for the midi ports. Thanks, Barton

[linux-audio-user] Steinberg USB MIDI 2 and red hat?

by Aaron Trumm

Hi there. Does anybody have a step by step on how to get a little Steinberg USB MIDI 2 (2 ins 2 outs, little blueish box) running with red hat 9? I have installed the planet ccrma alsa stuff, along with the audio stuff. things are working to some degree (except I haven't been able to record yet - but I'll wait to ask about that, when my real sound card comes :) ) I haven't got a clue, basically. I'm pretty new. When I wanted a midi interface to work in Cakewalk for DOS (that's right, that's what I was using last) I just downloaded the driver, and copied the driver into a file called driver.something - this apparently is not quite that simple? (I have read the planet ccrma how to on usb interfaces - so far nothing, and I was afraid the apt-get hotplug thing would flash firmware onto my steinberg that wouldn't be right, considering the steinberg isn't listed on their hardware list... am I even remotely understandable??? thanks in advance! *laugh* --------------------------------------------------------------- Houston Poetry Slam Team www.houstonpoetryslam.com NQuit Records www.nquit.com ---------------------------------------------------------------
