[linux-audio-user] Problems with MIDIsport 2x2

by Peter Clarke

Dear all, Having just updated my Gentoo kernel from 2.6.11 to 2.6.13 (trying to get my Novation Speedio to work - that's still WIP), I can't get my MIDIsport 2x2 to work any more. Under 2.6.11, it worked easily - I just had to fetch midisport_firmware-0.5.tar.bz2 from Sourceforge, and follow the instructions in the readme file there, which showed me how to set up the firmware loader. But I can't get this to work any longer. I can manually upload the firmware to the MIDIsport using this command: fxload -D /proc/bus/usb/XXX/YYY -I MidiSport2x2.ihx The MIDIsport then flashes its lights and changes its ID and bus address ("renumerates", in the wonderful jargon), but doesn't pick up its driver - here's the relevant section from /proc/bus/usb/devices: T: Bus=03 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=01 Cnt=02 Dev#= 14 Spd=12 MxCh= 0 D: Ver= 1.00 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS=64 #Cfgs= 1 P: Vendor=0763 ProdID=1002 Rev= 1.21 C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=a0 MxPwr= 0mA I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 5 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=(none) E: Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS= 32 Ivl=1ms E: Ad=82(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 32 Ivl=0ms E: Ad=02(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 32 Ivl=0ms E: Ad=84(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 32 Ivl=0ms E: Ad=04(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 32 Ivl=0ms I have put an entry in /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap, pointing to the script (midisport_fw) that's supposed to load the firmware, but no messages appear in the log, suggesting that the script is not getting run. What's going wrong? Why is this not working now, when it was childsplay before? Any help appreciated, Peter C

[linux-audio-user] simple ZynAddSubFX question

by Julien Claassen

Hi! As some of you know I'm blind, but I wanted to show ZynAddSubFX in all its GUI-splender to a friend of mine. Can anyone tell me how to load one of the example banks? All we were able to do was to test some reverb-effects with- I believe - sinewaves. The system is SuSE 9.3 ZynAddSubFX 2.1.1 (I looked up the examples and found them in /usr/share/ZynAdSubFX and this is in the searchpath of the program. I just said it to state that all seems well with the installation. Thanks for a newbie-friendly discription... :-) Kindest regards Julien -------- Music was my first love and it will be my last (John Miles) ======== FIND MY WEB-PROJECT AT: ======== http://ltsb.sourceforge.net - the Linux TextBased Studio guide

[linux-audio-user] fst-1.7 -- build ardour with fst support.

by Carlos Pino

Hi there,I'm using fst.1.7 for launch the vst's with very succes,thanks to everyone who did this posible,it works really greate. At the readme file included in the tarball I read this: / 5) build ardour with fst support. copy the SC* files from the ardour directory into your ardour build path. and the build ardour like: scons VST=1 VSTPATH=/path/to/compiled/fst-1.7/ I tried to compile ardour in that way,copied the fst-1.7/ardour/SConstruct to the build directory,and run scons with this options: /supertux@sid:~/proceso/ardour/ardour-0.99$ scons BUILD_SSE_OPTIMIZATIONS=1 USE_SSE_EVERYWHERE=0 VST=1 VSTPATH=/home/supertux/vst/fst-1.7/ PREFIX=/usr KSI=no DEBUG=yes/ But get some error messages:/ scons: Reading SConscript files ...

Thanks very much in advance. Saludos Cheers -- Carlos.

[linux-audio-user] Linux Lighting

by Olivier Guilyardi

Hi, I'm currently planning a live show using Jackbeat and modifying it for this purpose. This is about music of course, but I'm also interested by controlling lights, to warm the dancefloor up. The technology in this area seems to be named DMX, and there seem to be some Linux driver project called dmx4linux, by the Linux Lighting Group. I'm not sure that this DMX technology is the solution to my problem. Here's what I'd like to do : - control 16 light sources - control the luminosity level of each of these light sources (!= on/off) - do this is in C from Linux - for less than 400 € (including light sources) - building simple diy hardware is ok Any idea ? -- og

[linux-audio-user] networking jack

by conrad berhörster

Hello all, did anyone know, if there is a possibility to run jack in the network. I don't mean as a streaming client, but as sync server. the scenario should be, standing in a group with 2 or 3 computers making music together in a sync, like MIDI sequencers can do.

Re: [linux-audio-user] libsndfile - ogg, mp3

by Sampo Savolainen

Quoting Erik de Castro Lopo <mle+la(a)mega-nerd.com>: > MP3 has licensing issues and hence will not be included in libsndfile. Are there licensing issues both in decoding & encoding, or just encoding? Even one way mp3 support in libsndfile would be greatly appreciated. Sampo

[linux-audio-user] [admin] attention gmail users: please fix your message format!

by Joern Nettingsmeier

hi everyone! lately there are a number of gmail users filling up the moderation queues with "message has a suspicious header" bounces. this is almost always due to people trying to send non-text/plain content, which for a number of very good reasons is banned on linux-audio-*. it seems that gmail has an unfortunate default setting that some people are not aware of... gmail users, please fix your settings! best, jörn

[linux-audio-user] Alsa doesn't work with SB Audigy SE

by chgans＠free.fr

Hi all, I recently install the DeMuDi distrib, and i've just bought a Creative SB Audigy SE card but I can't make it work! :( I got this message from alsaconf: demudi:/home/guest# alsaconf Unloading ALSA sound driver modules: snd-ca0106 snd-ac97-codec snd-pcm-oss snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm snd-page-alloc snd-seq-dummy snd-seq-oss snd-seq-midi snd-rawmidi snd-seq-midi-event snd-seq snd-timer snd-seq-device.

Setting up ALSA.../etc/init.d/alsa: Warning: 'alsactl restore' failed with error message 'alsactl: load_state:1267: No soundcards found...'. done.

I got Alsa 1.0.8-7, by searching the web i found a patch that "Added identification for the Audigy ES.", but i don't know if it was applied on my Alsa package, and i don't know if this kind of patch can resolv my problem. Does anyone have any point out? Thanks, Christian

[linux-audio-user] Yawn! Linux v Windoze, a new twist?

by studio-64

Hi I'm sure some on here can think of a few comments to add to this: Linux v Windoze debate. I note two revealing comments. "if a subject of the study (vendor for example) is behind its funding, whether directly (as in this study)" and "it's important to recognize the small sample size in drawing any conclusions from the data." Would it not be better for the guy to not agreee to do the study? http://interviews.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/11/28/1245256 I also note there is no debate as regards DAW's and other more niche systems. My systems would be impossible for me to fund on anything else apart from Linux. Cheers Bob Bearmusic hearmymusic.co.uk <http:www.hearmymusic.co.uk>

[linux-audio-user] FM801 FC3 Silence

by Ken Smith

Hi, Im trying to get an FM801 to work on FC3. It didn't work on FC1 in this system and I was hoping that an upgrade to FC3 would get it going. I have seen a web page about the FM801 but Im stuck getting it to make any sound. lspci shows ~(among other things...) 00:12.0 Multimedia audio controller: Fortemedia, Inc Xwave QS3000A [FM801] (rev b2) lsmod shows (among other things)... snd_seq_midi 12769 0 snd_seq_midi_event 11713 1 snd_seq_midi snd_opl3_synth 19269 0 snd_seq_instr 12097 1 snd_opl3_synth snd_seq_midi_emul 11201 1 snd_opl3_synth snd_ainstr_fm 6465 1 snd_opl3_synth snd_seq 54609 5 snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_midi_event,snd_opl3_synth,snd_seq_instr,snd_seq_midi_em ul fm801_gp 7745 0 gameport 19785 2 fm801_gp snd_fm801 21765 2 snd_tea575x_tuner 7873 1 snd_fm801 videodev 13505 1 snd_tea575x_tuner snd_ac97_codec 77497 1 snd_fm801 snd_pcm_oss 53745 0 snd_mixer_oss 21697 2 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 91845 3 snd_fm801,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss snd_page_alloc 13765 1 snd_pcm snd_opl3_lib 14401 2 snd_opl3_synth,snd_fm801 snd_timer 28357 3 snd_seq,snd_pcm,snd_opl3_lib snd_hwdep 12897 1 snd_opl3_lib snd_mpu401_uart 11457 1 snd_fm801 snd_rawmidi 28641 2 snd_seq_midi,snd_mpu401_uart snd_seq_device 12493 5 snd_seq_midi,snd_opl3_synth,snd_seq,snd_opl3_lib,snd_rawmidi snd 58405 15 snd_opl3_synth,snd_seq,snd_fm801,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,sn d_pcm,snd_opl3_lib,snd_timer,snd_hwdep,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_d evice soundcore 13217 2 snd So I guess that means the system has found the hardware and the drivers are loading. I have unmuted and maxed out all the faders in alsamixer. I can hear a slight tick in the output when I mute and unmute the mic channel and some of the other channels so there is some sign of life. But I cant get the thing to play any sound files. aplay bigfile.wav results in silence. The Gnome sound tester does not play a sound file. Audacity crashes on playing a file. So something is not right. I noticed some *oss modules loaded is that good or bad? Is there something I need to do to tell applications to direct their sound to this device??? A direct copy of a wav file to /dev/dsp, which I think should make a noise, doesnt. Or is there another way to copy data directly to the device as a test. I know sound works in Linux because I have another system with an SBLive that works. (Sorry that just reflects my frustration with getting this working) So what have I missed???? Does any one here have an FM801 based card working with FC3 who can offer me some guidance Any help most welcome.. Ken -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
