[linux-audio-user] Behringer ADA8000 and linux

by Timo Sivula

Hi, I was actually looking for a 8 channel preamp, when I found this Behringer ADA8000 device that has a 8 channel A/D and D/A codec AND an 8 channel preamp. The device has a digital DAT out for the A/D codec. http://www.behringer.com/ADA8000/ Does anyone use this device on this list? Is it supported by linux and what hardware is needed on the PC side to hook the digital connection to Ardour? br, Timo

[linux-audio-user] [OT-ish] mplayerplug-in and mp3s

by Nathaniel Virgo

Hi, Maybe someone on this list can help me. I've installed mplayerplug-in, which is very cool, but it has decided that it wants to play mp3s and wavs as well as movie files. There doesn't seem to be any way to open an mp3 file in xmms any more, other than by saving it to disk first. I was wondering if anyone has been here before and has worked out how to configure mplayerplug-in so that it doesn't interfere with audio files. The plugin occasionally crashes Mozilla when playing mp3s so I really want it not to try. thanks in advance for any help Nathaniel

[linux-audio-user] multiple usb midi devices confusion

by Atte André Jensen

Hi I got the Audiotrak MIDI-MATE and it works stright out of the box. Great! Now the next problem is that my usb devices seem to show up different depending on the order they are inserted and/or the physical order in which they are connected to my usb-bus. I have: 2 x Evolution MK-249C usb midi keyboards 1 x Audiotrak MIDI-MATE usb midi interface 1 x Edirol UA-1A usb soundcard 1 x onboard i810 soundcard An example of the confusion: a) I plug in the devices in this order: Evolutions, Audiotrak, Edirol and get: [atte@aarhus ~]$ aconnect -i client 0: 'System' [type=kernel] 0 'Timer ' 1 'Announce ' client 80: 'Virtual Raw MIDI 2-0' [type=kernel] 0 'VirMIDI 2-0 ' client 81: 'Virtual Raw MIDI 2-1' [type=kernel] 0 'VirMIDI 2-1 ' client 82: 'Virtual Raw MIDI 2-2' [type=kernel] 0 'VirMIDI 2-2 ' client 83: 'Virtual Raw MIDI 2-3' [type=kernel] 0 'VirMIDI 2-3 ' client 88: 'MK-249C USB MIDI keyboard - Rawmidi 3' [type=kernel] 0 'MK-249C USB MIDI keyboard MIDI ' client 96: 'MK-249C USB MIDI keyboard - Rawmidi 4' [type=kernel] 0 'MK-249C USB MIDI keyboard MIDI ' client 104: 'XP MIDI mate - Rawmidi 5' [type=kernel] 0 'XP MIDI mate MIDI 1' b) I plug in in this order: Edirol, Audiotrak, Evolutions and get: [atte@aarhus ~]$ aconnect -i client 0: 'System' [type=kernel] 0 'Timer ' 1 'Announce ' client 80: 'Virtual Raw MIDI 2-0' [type=kernel] 0 'VirMIDI 2-0 ' client 81: 'Virtual Raw MIDI 2-1' [type=kernel] 0 'VirMIDI 2-1 ' client 82: 'Virtual Raw MIDI 2-2' [type=kernel] 0 'VirMIDI 2-2 ' client 83: 'Virtual Raw MIDI 2-3' [type=kernel] 0 'VirMIDI 2-3 ' client 88: 'XP MIDI mate - Rawmidi 3' [type=kernel] 0 'XP MIDI mate MIDI 1' client 96: 'MK-249C USB MIDI keyboard - Rawmidi 4' [type=kernel] 0 'MK-249C USB MIDI keyboard MIDI ' client 104: 'MK-249C USB MIDI keyboard - Rawmidi 5' [type=kernel] 0 'MK-249C USB MIDI keyboard MIDI ' c) Same physical order in the hub as b), but now I simply pull out and reinsert the hub: [atte@aarhus ~]$ aconnect -i client 0: 'System' [type=kernel] 0 'Timer ' 1 'Announce ' client 72: 'XP MIDI mate - Rawmidi 1' [type=kernel] 0 'XP MIDI mate MIDI 1' client 80: 'Virtual Raw MIDI 2-0' [type=kernel] 0 'VirMIDI 2-0 ' client 81: 'Virtual Raw MIDI 2-1' [type=kernel] 0 'VirMIDI 2-1 ' client 82: 'Virtual Raw MIDI 2-2' [type=kernel] 0 'VirMIDI 2-2 ' client 83: 'Virtual Raw MIDI 2-3' [type=kernel] 0 'VirMIDI 2-3 ' client 88: 'MK-249C USB MIDI keyboard - Rawmidi 3' [type=kernel] 0 'MK-249C USB MIDI keyboard MIDI ' client 96: 'MK-249C USB MIDI keyboard - Rawmidi 4' [type=kernel] 0 'MK-249C USB MIDI keyboard MIDI ' How do I control which order devices appear in? I would appreciate an explanation that I (hopefully) understand over simply "put this in your /etc/something". BTW: I have looked at this before (before getting the Audiotrak) and although I didn't understand how this list helped me out. So I have the following (that I modified slightly after trying to solve the confusion mentioned in this posting): ------------ [atte@aarhus ~]$ more ~/.asoundrc # i810 onboard soundcard pcm.onboard { type hw card 0 device 0 } # edirol ua-1a audio interface pcm.usb-audio { type hw card 1 } ctl.usb-audio { type hw card 1 } ------------------ [atte@aarhus ~]$ more /etc/modutils/alsa alias char-major-116 snd alias char-major-14 soundcore # i810 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 # ua-1a alias sound-service-1-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-1-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-1-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm-oss alias snd-card-1 snd-usb-audio alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1 # virtual midi alias snd-card-2 snd-virmidi alias sound-slot-2 snd-card-2 #evolution 1 alias snd-card-3 snd-usb-audio alias sound-slot-3 snd-card-3 #evolution 2 alias snd-card-4 snd-usb-audio alias sound-slot-4 snd-card-4 #midimate alias snd-card-5 snd-usb-audio alias sound-slot-5 snd-card-5 options snd-intel8x0 index=0 id=i810 options snd-usb-audio index=1,3,4,5 vid=0x0582 id=ua-1a options snd-virmidi index=2 ------------------- Should also mention that this is on debian/unstable with kernel 2.6.9 and alsa compiled with modules: [atte@aarhus ~]$ lsmod Module Size Used by snd_seq_midi 6176 0 ndiswrapper 100368 0 snd_usb_audio 57696 0 snd_usb_lib 10240 1 snd_usb_audio snd_intel8x0 27852 1 snd_ac97_codec 62160 1 snd_intel8x0 snd_pcm_oss 44456 0 snd_mixer_oss 16128 2 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 78600 3 snd_usb_audio,snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm_oss snd_page_alloc 7432 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm snd_mpu401_uart 5760 1 snd_intel8x0 snd_virmidi 3012 0 snd_seq_virmidi 5632 1 snd_virmidi snd_rawmidi 18980 4 snd_seq_midi,snd_usb_lib,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_seq_virmidi snd_seq_midi_event 6016 2 snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_virmidi snd_seq 44944 3 snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_virmidi,snd_seq_midi_event snd_timer 19972 2 snd_pcm,snd_seq snd_seq_device 6280 3 snd_seq_midi,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq snd 42980 13 snd_usb_audio,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_virmidi,snd_seq_virmidi,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq,snd_timer,snd_seq_device Thanks in advance for any help! -- peace, love & harmony Atte http://www.atte.dk

[linux-audio-user] Gnu Radio hardware

by Steve Harris

http://comsec.com/wiki?UniversalSoftwareRadioPeripheral Not really inteded to do the job but could be turned to a very generic linux audio card with the right daugher boards. Add an optical transceiver and it can be a 32 channel i/o ADAT board, or 4 channels of analogue and whatever frequency you feel like. The onboard converters are 50Mhz 12bit, so that will make 24bit/192kHz easily enough. Costs $450, but its very versatile. - Steve

I have a similar setup, and wrote some notes in the ALSA wiki here: http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=MultipleUSBAudioDevices Hope it will be useful for you, in addition to the other links already posted in this list.

There are to many music organizers... Is there such one which: - plays FLAC and WAV files, - allows to create OWN hierarchy tree like: classic vocal organ chamber vivaldy my best other jazz vocal instrumental big band ... and quickly (logically) move albums to needed hierarchy tree nodes? Thanks! Andrew

Re: [linux-audio-user] usb midi interface: USB Midisport Uno

by Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas

On Monday 27 December 2004, Mark Knecht wrote: > One reason some people do not like > the MidiSport line, at least with the 2x2 and higher, is that it > requires the use of non-opensource firmware. I have seen several reports like this, claiming that there is not an usable open source firmware for Midisport2x2 devices. That is not true. Please check the repositories for your distro, and look for a package named "ezusbmidi". It contains a GPL released firmware for Midisport- UNO, 1x1 and 2x2. This software, written in C by Lars Doelle, can be compiled using the SDCC compiler (http://sdcc.sourceforge.net/). You can get the sources here: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/linux-hotplug/firmware/ezusb/midi/ http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/linux-hotplug/firmwarehotplug-0.1.tar.gz… There are several Linux vendors including it. For instance: Debian/Agnula http://apt.agnula.org/pool/main/e/ezusbmidi/ RedHat/CCRMA http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/usbmidi.html Mandrake http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/mandrake/10.0/contrib/i586/ezusbmidi-2002_10_2… Regards, Pedro
