re:[linux-audio-user] Saving Alsa Mixer Settings

by Dave Price

Nigel, Yes, I am using KDE. I have now read the alsactl man page, and run (as sudo ) 'alsactl store' When I restart X/KDE (ctrl-alt-back) my sound cuts off as KDE initializes, indicating that the capture channel is unmuted. But if I then bring up a console and run 'alsactl restore' - even as a normal user, sound output returns. (I am running mpd at bootup, so it is pretty obvious when the sound stops / starts) As an aside, mpd rocks for playing mp3 files. I usually 'control' it with phpmp from my web browser. Thanks for the reply. aloha, dave PS: I have to send to the list from mutt, because google mail seems to put 'questionable headers' into my messages, which gets 'em suspended. So if the threading is funny, that's why. On 8/31/05, nigel henry <cave.dnb(a)tiscali.fr> wrote: Hi Dave. Are you using KDE by any chance, as it's likely to change mixer settings after alsactl has restored your settings. Nigel.

[linux-audio-user] [LAM] Music Made with Linux

by Greg Wilder

More Music - 100% built and bred in a GNU/Linux environment: http://www.gregwilder.com/media/vyserhad.ogg (Warning - large file 17M - over 10 minutes of music) App list: Csound (about 85% of the DSP done here) Cecilia (csound front end) PVC (phase vocoding) SMS (now CLAM) Vspace (spatial sound processing tools) SND (editor +) Mix Views (editor +) Audacity (before Ardour was stable) Digital sources were largely culled from the sound library at the Eastman Computer Music Center.

How about you guys (Lee)? Is there a way to get the ati kernel driver to work with the spinlock RT kernel? Thanks! -thewade

re:[linux-audio-user] Saving Alsa Mixer Settings

by Dave Price

Nigel, Thank you. Your suggestion to disable KDE/KMIX's restore setting was right on. Turning that off let's me reboot, etc. with lots of sound. In a totally unrelated matter, I have lost all of the Kcontrol Modules from my K-button menu, except for one to configure my nonexistent digital camera. - Any thought on that one? Thanks. aloha, dave Hi Dave. I don't know if you've fixed it, but if not try the following. Later versions of KDE. 3.3, 3.4 have a menu bar on Kmix with a settings menu item. If the menubar's not there, right click on Kmix, then show menubar. Next. Settings/config Kmix, and theres probably a checked box for "load volumes at startup" . Just uncheck the box. Earlier versions of KDE like on FC1 have the mixer config stuff in. Control centre/sound & multimedia/mixer. And the load volumes at setup checkbox is there. HTH

[linux-audio-user] Saving Alsa Mixer Settings

by Dave Price

Hi, I have managed to get alsa running correctly on an SIS/snd_intel8x0 system. One thing that bothers me is that I need to go in by hand and 'mute' the capture monitor channel by hand anytime I reboot. (I am using Mepis 3.3 on an AMD Athlon with kernel 2.6.11 I see messages at boot time from /etc/init.d/alsa Setting up ALSA.../etc/init.d/alsa: Warning: 'alsactl restore' failed with error message 'alsactl: set_control:894: warning: name mismatch (Master Playback Volume/Center Playback Switch) for control #2 alsactl: set_control:896: warning: index mismatch (0/0) for control #2 alsactl: set_control:1015: bad control.2.value.0 content'. done. ... Can someone explain how I can correctly save the settings that alsactl restore is using? Thanks. -- aloha, dave

[linux-audio-user] Good read: Walter Murch on clarity and density in sound

by Wolfgang Woehl

"... the point where I could see the forest and the trees - where there was simultaneously Clarity, which comes through a feeling for the individual elements (the notes), and Density, which comes through a feeling for the whole (the chord). And I found this balance point to occur most often when there were not quite three layers of something. I came to nickname this my 'Law of Two-and-a-half.'" http://www.ps1.org/cut/volume/murch.html

[linux-audio-user] a PDAudioCF problem

by Dave Phillips

Greetings: I've switched my laptop back to Planet C's RH9 and its 2.4.26 kernel. The machine is much happier now. However, a problem has come up that did not exist on a former identical installation: My PDAudioCF card is not recognized when I 'cat /proc/asound/cards'. lsmod shows this report: [dlphilp@localhost dlphilp]$ lsmod |grep pdaudio snd-pdaudiocf 10980 0 (unused) snd-ak4117 7196 0 [snd-pdaudiocf] snd-pcm 85952 0 [snd-pcm-oss snd-pdaudiocf snd-ak4117 snd-usb-audio snd-cs4231-lib] snd 48708 0 [snd-pcm-oss snd-mixer-oss snd-seq-dummy snd-seq-oss snd-seq-midi snd-opl3-synth snd-seq-instr snd-pdaudiocf snd-ak4117 snd-usb-audio snd-virmidi snd-seq-virmidi snd-seq-midi-event snd-seq snd-cs4232 snd-opl3-lib snd-hwdep snd-mpu401-uart snd-rawmidi snd-seq-device snd-cs4231-lib snd-pcm snd-timer] ds 8776 2 [snd-pdaudiocf serial_cs pcnet_cs] pcmcia_core 57504 0 [snd-pdaudiocf serial_cs pcnet_cs ds yenta_socket] But catting proc shows only: [dlphilp@localhost dlphilp]$ cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [CS4231 ]: CS4231 - CS4231 CS4231 at 0x534, irq 5, dma 1&0 1 [VirMIDI ]: VirMIDI - VirMIDI Virtual MIDI Card 1 2 [M2x2 ]: USB-Audio - Midisport 2x2 Midiman Midisport 2x2 at usb-00:07.2-1.2, full speed I added these lines to /etc/modules.conf : alias snd-card-3 snd-pdaudiocf alias sound-slot-3 snd-pdaudiocf I also tried manually loading snd-pdaudiocf, it seemed to work all right and reported no error. Nevertheless, no PDAudioCF card appears in /proc/asound. The card's little blue light is on, indicating that the card is recognized by the PCMCIA system, but something else is wrong somewhere. Any suggestions ? Best, dp

[linux-audio-user] Csound and AMD64?

by Tyler Eaves

Are there any known issues with csound on AMD64? I'm running Ubuntu 5.04 AMD64, using the provided csound 4.23 package. Csound appears to work fine *except* that it doesn't generate proper wave files. Looking at the raw data in audacity, it appears the header is there, but possibly incorrect (test.wav: RIFF (little-endian) data is what the file command reports). The actual sound data in the file looks okay. Anyone have any ideas? Couldn't find anything in the ubuntu bugzilla. -- Tyler Eaves <tylere(a)mailshack.com>
