[linux-audio-user] Click and Pop Reduction

by Anna Saranti

Dear List, I would like to find a program that makes click and pop reduction. I've already searched the mailing list archives, and I haven't found anything good. Does somebody have any hints what I could use? Thanks for the help! Anna

[linux-audio-user] .asoundrc for dummies

by Mathias Friman

Hi list. Since I'm not a programmer, trying to document the .asoundrc syntax is somewhat cumbersome. I'm writing an introductory howto for linux music making, in swedish, and I can't really get a grasp of the syntax in .asoundrc or any other alsa configuration file (like those in /usr/share/alsa/) for that matter. I wonder if anyone got easy-to-understand links for this, except the ALSA-wiki and the Gentoo ALSA-howto? These both round up an endless number of examples, but does leave out (IMHO) important parts that is needed for a thourough understanding if you're a moron like me. ;) For example: pcm.!default { type asym playback.pcm { type plug slave.pcm "hw:0,0" } capture.pcm { type plug slave.pcm "hw:1,0" } } This overrides the default setting, uses type asym (which is what exactly? asymmetrical, yes, but what does that mean?) sets a playback.pcm (which is defined where originally?) Why does it say 'slave.pcm "hw:0,0"' and nothing like: pcm_slave.sltest { pcm ens1371 } and what is the difference? etc. and so on, und so weiter A lot of questions, an probably a few stupid ones as well. Regretfully, to be able to explain it properly, I need a somewhat deeper understanding than I have now, and since some of the sharpest minds in the Linux audio community are on this list I thought I'd switch from endless googling to a cry for help. :) I'd be more than glad to write an english howto aswell, for people like me to use. However, I might need some help with correctional reading once it's done. ;) So, anyone got tips, links, an hour to spare or whatever? All is welcome. Regards, Mathias

Hi, I can't see no more detailled information about Interface Input Device and Output Device in the Setting window. The "> " button to select PCM , input and output devices show only (default). aplay -l and arecord -l gives : [moa@portable ~]$ aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC880 Analog [ALC880 Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 2: ALC880 Digital [ALC880 Digital] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: default [USB Audio CODEC ], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 [moa@portable ~]$ arecord -l **** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices **** card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC880 Analog [ALC880 Analog] Subdevices: 2/2 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 Subdevice #1: subdevice #1 card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 1: ALC880 Analog [ALC880 Analog] Subdevices: 2/2 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 Subdevice #1: subdevice #1 card 1: default [USB Audio CODEC ], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 This happen with Qjackctl 0.2.20.10 and Mandriva 2007.

[linux-audio-user] Can't mount usb MP4 player

by robert lazarski

Hi all, I'm trying to mount this MP4 player: http://szxc.en.alibaba.com/product/50111824/50983432/MP3_MP4_Players/MP4_pl… Doing 'cat /proc/bus/usb/devices' shows no such device, and I get nothing in /var/log/messages . The dsiplay does not light up. My /etc/fstab entry, which works fine with my pen drive, is: usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0 I'm running the stock suse 9.3 kernel, 2.6.11 . Any ideas ? Robert

I for one couldn't get ALSA to work with an USB-mic for recording and my regular onboard sound card for playback without one. I still do not fully understand what that little file does exactly, but overrides the default setting, setting an asym-type and defines playback and capture PCMs. I still do not know why slave.pcm is defined the way it is defined and not within {} brackets as it says in the alsa wiki. I would NEVER have been able to figure out the syntax all by myself. :) I know that back in the days, when men were men and wrote their own device drivers, this was not a very big problem. But now are the days of the point- and-click-user that does not aspire to grow a unix-beard just to get their sound system to work, and I would like to help them understand just a tiny bit of the general picture, not going too deep into the realms of ALSA developers. ;) The first line in what I've written so far about the .asoundrc is (translated): "You generally do not need a /etc/asound.conf or .asoundrc file to get things working correctly." So, that advice is already given, as I took it from the alsa-wiki. There are plenty of resources doing fairly advanced things with .asoundrc on several sites around the web, but nothing that bridges the leap between utter ignorance and .. well, whatever you guys call yourselves. ;) But anyway, thanks for the answer, I'll just have to dig in and grow a beard. :) Regards, Mathias

[linux-audio-user] hello gentoo? speed up please...

by Aaron Trumm

hello all - got a question - I've only recently been stopping and taking a look at my studio computer's performance and in the almost year since I change from Red Hat 9 to gentoo, it's been more solid on some things, but I notice a huge latency difference - ie: I have to run Jack at -p 8192 to get anything done in Ardour Anybody have any tips on what to look at to tweak it? Seems like it should do better than that... I didn't see it as a problem until in the last few days I started playing with playing softsynths live directly into Ardour - you've gotta be running at -p 1024 or there's a latency that screws up your playing - at 8192 it's a downright 8th note delay... Here's some vitals that I can think of: OS: gentoo 2.6.6-rc1 kernel (alsa built in) jack: 0.99.0 ardour: beta28 jack command line: jackd -R -d alsa -d hw:0 -r 48000 -p 8192 <------- (or whatever) harddrive: multicount on io support: 32 bit unmaskirq on use dma on keepsettings off readonly off readahead on chip: 2ghz amd (I THINK - not at computer now) ram: 512MB thanks for any ideas! :) --------------------- Aaron Trumm www.nquit.com -----------------------

Youtube seems to play perfectly through vmware on my machine (even in fullscreen), but thats an xp2800 though.
