[LAU] No duplex mode with the EHCI driver and USB hub. Is the problem solved?

Hi Pablo, Apparently, it works! I have the exact same USB port 'Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset USB2 Enhanced Host Controller (rev 05)' and I never managed to run the UA-25Ex in full duplex until...today for the first time! (please note that I was using this patch as well https://gist.github.com/1168715 for another USB soundcard, but I believe now this is not what fixed the problem). Aurélien

[LAU] A different direction in music - Whisper

by Julien Claassen

Hello everyone! Today I've made up and recorded a new piece. Just piano. It's no Bach and it's no prog rock. No fancy overboard processing either. The piece is called "whisper - Since In Love, Verity Is Altering". It's a piece about decisions and changing and importance of a human being. http://juliencoder.de/nama/whisper.ogg http://juliencoder.de/nama/whisper.mp3 Or go to the website: http://juliencoder.de/nama/music.html Equipment used: LinuxSampler and my Sampletekk black Grand piano library, the new Nama version for recording and finalising, fons' FIL plugin for some light EQing and jconvolver for the reverb. I do'nt know, which reverb that is. It was the one I last used for Shout. I'm not sure, if I made a note on that. It sounded good though. :-) I hope you enjoy it and as ever; Comments are welcome, the good and the bad.

[LAU] ALSA +udev + Identify two identical audio devices

by Miguel Negrao

Hi all, I’m trying to configure a pc with puredyne 9.11 and 2 RME HDSPM soundcards[1]. I manage to get sound perfectly, and I also managed to merge the two sound cards into one using .asoundrc. My problem is that the cards are identical and at every boot they get a random order. I was trying to follow [2] to try to give them a name based on the hardware location of the pci cards. I created a file which I placed in /etc/udev/rules.d/85-wfs-script.rules with the following: SUBSYSTEM!="sound", GOTO="wfs_pci_cards" ACTION!="add", GOTO="wfs_pci_cards" DEVPATH=="/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.4/0000:02:0e.0/sound/card?", ATTR{id}="HDSPM_1" DEVPATH=="/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.4/0000:02:09.0/sound/card?", ATTR{id}="HDSPM_2" LABEL="wfs_pci_cards" Then when I reboot or reload the driver I get one of them with the correct name and the other one with “default” /proc/asound/cards 0 [default ]: HDSPM - HDSPM MADI RME HDSPM MADI at 0xfdce0000, irq 16 1 [HDSPM_1 ]: HDSPM - HDSPM MADI RME HDSPM MADI at 0xfdcd0000, irq 17 Which one gets the “default” name is random and changes every time I boot. I tried changing the number 85 to all sorts of numbers, to change the order in which the rule is run, but it doesn’t really make a difference. Running udevd --debug and reloading the driver reports : 1323357358.505334 [3088] udev_rules_apply_to_event: ATTR '/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.4/0000:02:09.0/sound/card0/id' writing 'HDSPM_2' /etc/udev/rules.d/90-wfs-pci-cards.rules:5 1323357358.505393 [3088] udev_rules_apply_to_event: error opening ATTR{/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.4/0000:02:09.0/sound/card0/id} for writing: No such file or directory Btw, the file is there, and doing "more /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.4/0000:02:09.0/sound/card0/id” yields “default” or “default_1”. How can I stop the “default” name overriding the names that I set in the .rules file ? Any help appreciated !!!! best regards, -- Miguel Negrão // ZLB http://www.friendlyvirus.org/artists/zlb/ [1] http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/sound/alsa/hdspm.txt [2] http://alsa.opensrc.org/Udev#Identify_two_identical_audio_devices -- Miguel Negrão // ZLB http://www.friendlyvirus.org/artists/zlb/

[LAU] [bit OT]: help with booklet design

by Julien Claassen

Hello everyone! I'd like to design a simple CD-booklet. I'm not yet sure, if it will even be made public, the way I intend it to be, but perhaps it might. Since I can't do this on my own and can't afford a normal design-person to do it, I wondered if one of you might help. I could offer up to perhaps 30-40 EUR or some other favour in return (check website for accessibility, play keys for a track...). The basic design ideas are these, just so you know, the skills and perhaps tools required: Have a photo on the cover (rescaling?) and the title in fancy printing, perhaps hand drawn. Then inside just have a photo on one page and text on the next page. Something like this. the result should be a PDF - or other widely accepted format, that I can have printed in a copy shop or at a small printer's. Anyone willing to assist me in this endevour? Thanks in any case for reading up to this point.

[LAU] ALSA: Using a plugin only for capture

by Julien Claassen

Hello everyone! For one of my users I wish to insert a few ladspa plugins for the microphone, but if at all possible not for the output, since then everything will get evilly distorted and fiendishly loud. I have the basic setup for the plugins, but I can't think of a way to only insert the plugins for inputs. All inputs of that card will do, since only the microphone will be in use. Unfortunately I can't raise the mic volume from the hardware any more and neither does the phone application have any additional volume control, that I can see. Does anyone have a good suggestion or two?
