I cannot modprobe snd-mpu401 even with pnp=0. I can ALWAYS modprobe snd-mpu401-uart (and cat /proc/asound/cards on the 2.6.11 bootup shows it as an UART) but doing this did not activate the device.

[linux-audio-user] Question on mixer

by Allan Graves

Question on mixer setup. I'd like to begin recording to my pc, with a standard one input sound card. I'd like to do vocals and midi from my S90. To do the vocals though, I'd like the output of what's on the computer, and the output of what's coming from the S90, to go to the vocalist, but only be recording her vocals, not the whole main mix again. Do I need to get a mixer with sub groups so that I can play the entire mix through the main outputs and control outputs but only record her vocals? How do other people do this? The Behringer 1204-PRO seems like it might do what I want, but I thought I'd ask others opinion. Thanks! -- --- Allan Graves I came into this world with nothing, and I have most of it left.

[linux-audio-user] distribution

by Allan Graves

DeMuDi\Agnula totally rocks my mom. I installed it, it just worked, and it has everything plus the kitchen sink and garbage disposal. Its also the one that I'm recommending to my family and friends as the easiest way to get started. So far, i've got quite a few new users working on it doing audio. Thanks Agnula Guys! (And Ubuntu. And Sarge.... and rosegarden, muse..... etc. :) ) -- --- Allan Graves I came into this world with nothing, and I have most of it left. Madness has its toll. Exact change only please.

This can be an advantage! I have taken this kernel off meanwhile because the DRM compiled with it also does not work. Debian has posted its 2.6.12, now called "linux-image" because of the these demudi "kernel-image"s, I suppose. I'll play with that first. The jack packages on SId are a mess right now, anyway. A problem is that a lot of alsa stuff is simply undocumented.

[linux-audio-user] Re: Opening up the discussion

by Allan Graves

Jono, Welcome. I installed DeMuDi from the Agnula web site, and was recording within 10 minutes. The help file gets you up and running, and after that, its "no more complicated" than any professional level solution. Of course, as is my common complaint with open source, there's 10000 designs to build a hammer to kill a fly, 75% of which haven't been worked on since 1990, and 50% of them w\o documentation. Luckily, there's some good quality solutions that are still being worked on, so documentation is the big killer now. DeMuDi has allowed me to get quite a few other people using linux audio. I consider myself an amateur musician, but I am very comfortable with Linux. However, none of my linux knowledge, aside from knowing where documentation "lives", came into play with DeMuDi. As with all software, what seperates the professional from the amateur is the level of knowledge of the system. Unlike what some people think, more money for better tools does not make you better. My brother can still make my casio keyboard sound way better than I can make my Yamaha S90.... :) Like I stated before, I see 3 huge barriers: 1) Too many choices, and not enough standards. Do I use Wired, Muse, RoseGarden, Jazz++, etc? Well, unlike windows\mac, where, when I buy a software package, I can be reasonably certain that its still in development, Linux packages sometimes don't get worked on, get forked or just die out... The other issue is getting programs to work with each other. This can be as much a problem on windows as linux, and is something we're working on by implementing standards like ladspa, etc. 2) Lack of documentation. Getting fixed in many ways, wiki, rosegarden book, etc. But no knowing that you ask this or that mailing list, or read this or that web page.... or being too scared to do so is a real downer. The windows sequencer books in B&N have certainly tempted me. I'd love to see more for Linux programs. 3) Lack of driver support from manufacturers. Stuff has to get written by the community with limited specifications. This makes it hard for us to get hardware working sometimes. That we have as much as we do always amazes me. (Gotta credit DP for his linux sound articles. I've used that linux overview many a time. Would love to see his book updated soon.... ) I've seen what a community can do though, and I have high hopes for linux sound. :) -- --- Allan Graves I came into this world with nothing, and I have most of it left.

[linux-audio-user] Qsynth query

by Michael T D Nelson

Hi all, I'm just making my first steps into recording/composing in Linux, with some success. I've got an complete up-to-date PlanetCCRMA FC3 installation, on a P3 700Mhz machine, with something in the region of 640Mb RAM, and a dirt cheap CMI8738 soundcard. You can't go wrong with a soundcard that cost less than £5! (I'll get something better soon, don't worry...) At the moment, I've started jack with qjackctl. I'm recording my guitar in ardour, alongside some sampled drum sounds. The drum sounds are arranged in Rosegarden, and generated by fluidsynth - using the 'nskit' soundfont from 'natural studio'. I'm using fluidsynth with the qsynth gui. Now, this is my first problem: Whenever I start Rosegarden's transport, I hear no drum sounds from qsynth. If I click on qsynth's 'Channels' button, and then double-click on the channel, I see "nskit_7free" in channel 1. If I either double-click on that channel, or toggle the "preview" tick box, fluidsynth starts generating audio output. Am I doing something wrong? Is there something I can do to make the settings permanent? Thanks Michael Nelson

[linux-audio-user] best sound of out midi using demudi?

by Allan Graves

Hi guys. I'm not a demudi wizard, so I thought I'd post this question for help. My dad recently sent me a midi file that sounds awful on his machine, and requested that I make it sound better. I've only got the standard onboard audio, so I'm assuming 8mb max of samples, or fm synthesis. This midi file is mainly organ, so I'm thinking that zynsynth might do it, but I thought I'd post for discussion this question: "What's the best way using a stock demudi and no external synthesizer, to take a GM file and get the best possible sound out of my computer? " I know that initially, it won't matter if my playback device can't do anything, but assuming there's a playback device included with demudi that has good samples or synthesis, perhaps using some of the other control codes that GM doesn't let me use may help? Anyway, thanks for your thoughts. -- --- Allan Graves I came into this world with nothing, and I have most of it left. Madness has its toll. Exact change only please.

[linux-audio-user] Precording with on board sound of ASUS A7V8X-X

by Jochen Schäfer

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi. I have an ASUS A7V8X-X with a VIA82xx audio controller. I can hear sound just fine, but I have some questions on this particular hardware and its driver: - - Since the assignment from input/output channel to the actual connectors seems to be flexible, how can change or control these assignments. - - In particular, how do I assignment an input channel, since I can't find a connector for input. With Windows I have no problems to record anything.
