[linux-audio-user] spdif in on built in cmedia sound card?

by Aaron Trumm

I think I was inquiring into this before at one point long ago, but I can't find much that's helpful I've got a red hat 9 box, latest planetccrma kernel and packages - using the cmedia sound card that's built in to the soyo dragon mobo trying to get spdif IN working, especially in Ardour - but no luck SPDIF Out works, but not spdif in i've been in alsamixer (and sometimes gamix) to penis around with the various settings (enabling ie6blahblah 5v and "in select" and "in phase reverse" and such and no combo has worked so far. i have been able to get input from the lamo "line in" but not from spdif in - haven't tried the optical in (or out) yet...hmmm... anybody got ideas?

[linux-audio-user] Anyone got Linux Audio Conference photos?

by Daniel James

Hello, I've got to submit a magazine report on the Linux Audio Conference at ZKM by tomorrow, but I stupidly forgot to take my camera with me to the event, so I have no photos of my own. The photos have not been posted on the official site yet, so if anyone has decent print-quality images from the event that they could supply, I'd really appreciate it. In particular there were a few group photos taken which would be great, but at this stage anything would be good! Thanks Daniel

[linux-audio-user] define loop points (.aiff)

by robcanning

hi, in what software can i easily define loop points in an .aiff file that can be recognised by csound? i would prefer to do this through a nice gui if possible - select loop area - toolbar - "define loop points and loop mode" for example, but any suggestions will be appreciated. thanks rob (redhat9 planetccrma) -- robcanning <rscanning(a)eircom.net> www.robcanning.utvinternet.com

[linux-audio-user] SOLVED: snd-hdsp+cardbus=distortion

by Tim Blechmann

hi all, both ico and myself were able to solve our problems with the hdsp and the cardbus interface: ene1410 cardbus bridge (ico): ico had to enable "Memory read burst enable upstream" and "TLTEnable" on his cardbus bridge. the fix for that was added to the kernel's pcmcia subsystem and is probably released in one of the following releases. o2micro 6933 (myself): i had to enable "read prefetching" on my cardbus bridge, a flag that windows didn't need to run the hdsp, but the systems seem to be quite different (thanks to eric still from o2micro for this hint) there is no kernel fix for that, yet, but i suppose the kernel guys will write one pretty quick... ti pci1250 (timothy): the problem with this cardbus bridge isn't solved, yet ... anyway, i suppose that after solving the problems with the 2 cardbus bridges, it's probably much easyer to solve this... if someone experiences the same problem as we had on any cardbus bridge, this problem seems to be fixable ... the way to go is, find out as much as you can about your cardbus bridge (not very easy in some cases), send a report to the kernel maintainers of the pcmcia subsystem (linux-pcmcia(a)lists.infradead.org), they should be able to fix that... anyway, thanks a lot to all the guys who helped me ...

[linux-audio-user] [OT] recording fom turntable (ripping LPs)

by Erik Steffl

so i finally got the recording on sb live! platinum working and I'd like to rip my old LP collection. So I bought the only turntable with pre-amp I have found, connected it and the sound was terrible (I think it was mostly too weak, wasn't even at 50% at max), it's also a cheap denon. I connected it to the RCA inputs on the liveDrive (front panel). BTW the liveDrive RCA work ok with line6 guitar pod and iPod. so my off-topic question is - how to connect the turntable? which turntable to get? since I mostly plan to use it to rip the LPs and I'm not going to use it afterward I'd prefer cheaper solutions (not the denon though:-) I also have receiver with phono input (so no pre-amp in turntable needed) but I have no way to get the signal out of receiver, it only has speaker outputs. so I guess I need sort-of-decent turntable with pre-amp or turntable plus external pre-amp? any recommendations? (and yes, I am using linux box with gramofile, so this is at least close to the topic:-) TIA erik

Re: [linux-audio-user] Fwd: [Jamin] Re: soft clip: Achieving Gain, inconsequential overloads

Mark, > You know, in all of my time spent messing with Pro Tools, and being > involved in the forums where a lot of us have shared our music for > critical comment, the only comment I've EVER heard about my mixes not > being loud enough is that people don't want to be bothered dealing with > the volume control on their system. So why doesn't the volume go to the average? Or why doesn't everybody turn their volumes DOWN instead of UP? You can't explain that by what you just said. Something else is going on. That something else tends to favor louder. Also, Ron Parker recently posted: "I have to admit the new loud master is better." Why is that? Now I myself have turned up my volumes considerably for exactly the reason you said: To match other volumes. But the explanation of why things tend up not down and not to an average MAY be a preference for more harmonics. Suppose someone turns up the volume for more harmonics. The rest of us come along and increase our volume to keep pace. The levels now are all the same. Someone turns up the volume again for more harmonics. The rest of use do the same, but merely to keep pace. And so on. We're part of the problem.

[linux-audio-user] [ANN] Ecasound 2.3.3 released

by Kai Vehmanen

Hello all, this year's first stable Ecasound release is now out! Most of the final tuning for this release was done last Sunday while watching and listening to the last sessions of 'laconf2'. Many thanks to all the organizers and participants! And special thanks for the excellant net coverage of the event! But now, back to the 2.3.3 release -- here are the details: 1. Summary of changes Bugs in ecasignalview, effect presets, NetECI protocol parser and the C ECI implementation have been fixed. Many build system issues, including errors in building against libsndfile-1.0.4 and older, have been resolved. A separate section covering ecasound.el, the ecasound emacs interface, has been added to the Ecasound Control Interface Guide. The Ecasound User's Guide has also been updated. --- 2. What is Ecasound? Ecasound is a software package designed for multitrack audio processing. It can be used for simple tasks like audio playback, recording and format conversions, as well as for multitrack effect processing, mixing, recording and signal recycling. Ecasound supports a wide range of audio inputs, outputs and effect algorithms. Effects and audio objects can be combined in various ways, and their parameters can be controlled by operator objects like oscillators and MIDI-CCs. A versatile console mode user-interface is included in the package. Ecasound is licensed under the GPL. The Ecasound Control Interface (ECI) is licensed under the LGPL. --- 3. Changes since last release * Preset handling fixes: When saving chainsetups containing presets, values of preset parameters were not saved correctly. Also problems with presets containing untitled parameters have been fixed. * New ecasoundrc(5) setting "autodetect" for "default-output" has been added. When selected, libecasound will check for JACK support and whether a JACK server is running, if not found, check for ALSA, then OSS, and finally fallback to using "rtnull". This feature is especially useful to apps such as ecaplay. * Fixes to ecasignalview: Proper cleanup after receiving an interrupt from keyboard (SIGINT/CTRL-C) has been added. Originally tested on FreeBSD, but helps on Linux as well. * Ecasound Interactive Mode (EIAM) updates: Added new command 'map-ladspa-id-list' to allow listing the available plugins by their unique ID numbers. A special case value of '-1' is now understood by 'cs-set-length'. This allows undoing any previously set length value. * Ecasound Control Interface (ECI) updates: Added a section on ecasound.el - the Ecasound emacs interface - to the ECI Guide [1]. Several bugs have been fixed in the ECI C implementation. A serious bug in NetECI protocol parser, that caused parsing long (over 32 chars) commands to fail, has also been fixed. * Documentation updates: The Ecasound User's Guide [2] has been updated. Also, a bug in the groff source for the ecasound(1) man page that prevented man from showing the last five pages of the document, has been fixed. * Build system fixes: Problems in building against libsndfile-1.0.4 and older have been fixed. 'libecasound-config --libs' has been fixed to return the full list of external libraries. Based on recent discussions on linux-audio-dev, minor changes have been made to processing CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS. Full list of changes is available at <http://www.wakkanet.fi/~kaiv/ecasound/history.html>. --- 4. Interface and configuration file changes * ecasoundrc(5) - "default-output": new value "autodetect" (default) --- 5. Contributors Patches - Accepted code, documentation and build system changes Michael Ewe (2) -- bugfixes to ecasignalview and ECI C impl Mario Lang (1) -- section on ecasound.el to ECI Guide Eric Rzewnicki (1) -- set of updates to Ecasound User's Guide Kai Vehmanen (n/a) -- various Bug Hunting - Reports that led to bugfixes (items closed) Pierre Lorenzon (1) -- bugs in ecasound's daemon-mode protocol parser Jan Weil (1) -- cs-save dit not save preset parameters Feature suggestions - Ideas that led to new features (items) Jan Weil (2) -- map-ladspa-id-list command, -t:1 option --- 6.
