Q: does jackd mix?

by Jonathan E. Brickman

OK, perhaps a stupid question: does jackd mix? In other words, let's say we have two or more audio applications outputting to Jack; will Jack mix the streams? Or does it send them each independently to the sound driver? J.E.B.

HDSP 9632 - Just pcm0p !?

by Klaus Schulz

Hi folks. On my quest to get more then two channels from Alsa out to the 9632 I stepped over this: I figured that there is just a pcm0p under /proc/asound/card0. Shouldn't there be pcm0p...pcm7p reflecting the 8 Alsa stereo channels on the HDSP? What am I mixing up here? THX for your patience. \Klaus

Hi, Anyone know what happened to this website? There was a lot of good info on this site about setting up multiple M-Audio Delta 1010 audio interfaces on Linux for use with Jack, ALSA & Ardour. Thanks... -- Kevin

Sadness

by Jonathan E. Brickman

Well. Have no clue why, but after viewing about 90 minutes of Joost video, my everything-audio-works configuration stopped working. Automatic updates are turned entirely off, I'm thinking this must be a HAL thing, not sure how to debug. Anyone know what I should try to debug? As of this moment, using any of three configurations including the one where everything goes direct to ALSA hardware by name, the only audio I have is Jack :-) J.E.B.

New Music: Tangled

by Josh Lawrence

Hey list, It's been a rough week (it's only Tuesday!), so I thought I would record something sad. I wrote a little tango I'm calling Tangled. Blogspam: http://www.hardbop200.com/2009/10/20/tangled/ Actual file: http://www.hardbop200.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/tangled.ogg Just two pianos and a drummer. Recorded into Ardour on Debian (Squeeze) using Hydrogen as a drummer. No plugins, no mixing, just playing. Honestly, the progression is nothing original, and I'm a little embarrassed at my solo w/ players like Ken and Atte on the list, but oh well. :) Enjoy, Josh -- Josh Lawrence http://www.hardbop200.com

Re: [LAU] RME HDSP 9632 - amixer control

by Klaus Schulz

Hi Georg and others. Find enclosed my HDSPscan script. I wrote it to identify the channels ids for using it with amixer. It connects each in- to output, which makes it easy for you to identify the routing you're looking for. It is a two-stage approach to reduce the number of test cases. First it will connect every single input - one after another - to "all outputs" to identify the input you're looking for. Then it'll connect the chosen input to every single output one after another. The test tone is generated by the script (sox) itself. Hope some of you guys find it beneficial. It saved me a hell lot of time.

mastering CD with additional data-tracks

by Atte Andre Jensen

Hi I'm thinking about adding data files to my next CD. The pressing company said it's the same price, if I can figure out how to deliver a disc "that works as supposed". However that's where the problem lies :-) I master with ardour, to get the transitions right + stuff in the ISRC codes. This gives me an export.wav and an export.toc, that I burn like this: cdrdao write export.toc Now the pressing company told me that I need to add the audio first leave the session open, and then add the data files. I looked at --multi option for cdrdao, but couldn't really figure out what to do. Basically I'm not even sure if it would be possible to add a "data-session" later and if that should be "closed", or... Have anyone any experience with this or something similar? Any advice or help appreciated! -- Atte http://atte.dk http://modlys.dk http://virb.com/atte

Re: [LAU] RME HDSP 9632 - amixer control

by Giso Grimm

Hi Klaus, I hope you don't mind that I copy the reply to LAU (there are a lot RME hdsp-users who probably know more about it that I do). Klaus Schulz wrote: > 1. Could you please share your .asoundrc. I guess it is the .asoundrc > where you set "DSP". It is not defined in the .asoundrc, but on ALSA itself: Try "cat /proc/asound/cards" and find out the ALSA-name of your card, e.g. here on my office PC it is: 0 [PAD ]: Digi96 - RME Digi96/8 PAD RME Digi96/8 PAD at 0xfd000000, irq 21 1 [DSP ]: H-DSP - Hammerfall DSP RME Hammerfall HDSP 9632 at 0xfeae0000, irq 21 2 [ICH5 ]: ICH4 - Intel ICH5 Intel ICH5 with AD1985 at irq 17 (the hdsp9652 is at home). > 2. 32768=0db refers to the playback controls, They run at 0db@32768 > and +6db@64k > However this seems to be somewhat different on the ouptuts. 0db=max > position.

The mixer in the hdsp cards can control routing from hardware inputs to hardware outputs (for 'zero' latency monitoring) and the software output to hardware outputs. Hardware inputs are channels 0-25, software outputs 26-51, hardware outputs 0-25. I don't think you can control the playback attenuation with amixer. It might be (but that is a guess) that hdspmixer attenuates the output channels only in software (by adding the output attenuation to all relevant input/playback channels); When controlling only via amixer I do not have to configure the output attenuation. The channel mapping is also discussed here: http://www.mail-archive.com/alsa-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg06019.html > 3. I tried without success: > > /usr/bin/amixer -c 0 cset numid=5 26,2,32768 #first playbackchannel to > first output of analog extension board (ch2) > /usr/bin/amixer -c 0 cset numid=5 27,3,32768 #first playbackchannel to > first output of analog extension board (ch3) The channel numbering starts with zero. I do not know if the extension board uses the same channels as ADAT out, maybe try also channels 8-15. Cheers! Giso
