[linux-audio-user] radeon/mga dri/drm driver in 2.6 now fixed but?

by David M

Hello I have had problems running QT music apps with mga/radeon and dri/drm enabled in the 2.6 kernel however the latest lowlat patch (P8) has fixed most problems (eg qjackctl muse rosegarden are now working). However there still seems to be a problem when running mixxx - the dj software. All seems well with 2.4 but not 2.6 - Has anybody else on the list had any success running mixxx in a 2.6 environment using drm. And if so what graphics drivers are you using? Dave

Re: [linux-audio-user] Regarding NoteEdit, Finale, and rumor

by David Baron

Would I buy Finale or Sonar if they'd really play under Linux? I bought a lot of advanced MIDI software for Windows as well as Sonar's not-so-little sister Home Studio. Some stuff I got in exchange for beta testing or consulting with the authors. No plans for Linux ports and I USE this stuff. Maybe some of us would be Linux ports of premier applications. However, the Linux world is sold on Open-Source. Most Linux geeks will never purchase anything. Example, myself--I was considering buying the very reasonably priced Lindows (now Linspire--wait for the real Microsoft Lindows :-)). Then I saw and article about Knoppix. Did the job at an evern more reasonable cost. Gnu? If I can "make do" with notedit, probably would not shell out the dought for Finale. Forget about Sibelius ... and ... there are very reasonably priced package around in Windows if one can go with their qwerks and more and more freebies as well. So I do not expect Coda or Cakewalk or Steinberg to get into the Linux market anytime soon.

Re: [linux-audio-user] Setting up linux computer

I have looked at their website but was wondering if anyone had personal preference. I preferably would like a sound card with mutilple in/outs, mic in/outs, midi, spdif. Once again I appreciate all the feedback. As for distros, I'm leaning towards debian, but I will do some more research.

[linux-audio-user] RE: [PlanetCCRMA] Regarding NoteEdit, Finale, and rumor

by Polashek, Matthew

Hi! I met with the president nd founder of Coda, (Now Makemusic!) a few months ago at work(Silver Burdett Ginn) and I asked him if they were going to publish a Linux version of Finale now that they have completed an OSX version. He said that his programming and marketing staff had brought the idea up but that they were not going to make a Linux version at this time. FYI. Matt. -----Original Message----- From: Dave Phillips To: users(a)lists.agnula.org; LAD Mail; LAU Mail; Planet CCRMA Sent: 8/27/2004 8:39 AM Subject: [PlanetCCRMA] Regarding NoteEdit, Finale, and rumor Greetings: I wrote to Joerg Anders, the author of NoteEdit, and he confirmed that he is leaving off development of NoteEdit. Though I disagree with his assessment of a possible Linux Finale, it's certainly his right to stay with or go away from the helm of NoteEdit development, and he can use any reason he prefers. I have *no* confirmation regarding any Linux development at all from Coda Music, the manufacturers of Finale. Unless someone knows more, I'd say it's an unfounded rumor. I've read that some users have run Finale under Wine: I can get it to open but it doesn't work after that. There's some discussion whether to keep it in AGNULA and whether AGNULA members might want to take over the development of NE. I realize that NE has some possibly irritating dependencies, but I must add that it is a unique Linux music notation editor with a well-evolved set of features and an active user base. I'm uneasy about the implications that mere rumor compelled Joerg to abandon NE, though as I said, I respect Joerg's wishes and his accomplishments with regard to NE. I'm confused as to why Finale's presence might force a developer to consider his own work a closed case. After all, Finale is expensive, closed-source, and not necessarily suited to everyone's work methods. NE is free software, open-source, and works nicely for me. I would hate to see it disappear. Joerg said that since sources are available anyone can continue with NE development. I hope that happens.

[linux-audio-user] 2nd harddrive overhead

by Alastair Couper

I have two hard drives, hda and hdb, both UDMA66. hda has the ext3 root partition, a swap partition, and a FAT32 partition. hdb just has one 10Meg FAT32 partition. When I stream a .wav file from the FAT32 partition on hda through say XMMS, the total system load is very low, just a few percent cpu load. When I do the same, but from hdb's FAT32 partition, the cpu load hovers at around 30-50%. What is responsible for all the extra cpu activity in reading from the 2nd harddrive ?

[linux-audio-user] Hardware incompatibility list

by Robert Jonsson

Hi, As posted on slashdot, someone has started up a hardware incompatibility list for Linux. I didn't look to closely yet so I don't know about the quality and how it's going to work. Anyway, I think one of the goals is to put pressure on the hardware makers to provide specs/drivers, which sounds like a good idea to me. If anyone has any hardware to add, audio cards especially, here is the place: http://leenooks.com/1 /Robert -- http://spamatica.se/music/

[linux-audio-user] VXpocket problems

by jacob last

Hello all- I have a Digigram VXpocket v2 sound card for my Fujitsu laptop, and have gotten as far as adding entries in /etc/pcmcia/config to get the card recognized by cardmgr on insertion, and adding the lines alias snd-card-1 snd-vxpocket alias sound-slot-1 snd-vxpocket post-install snd-vxpocket /usr/bin/vxloader to /etc/modules.conf. But when the card is inserted I get this in /var/log/messages: Aug 23 10:47:17 localhost cardmgr[804]: socket 0: Digigram VXpocket Aug 23 10:47:17 localhost cardmgr[804]: executing: 'modprobe snd-vxpocket' Aug 23 10:47:17 localhost cardmgr[804]: + vxloader: no VX-compatible cards found Aug 23 10:47:17 localhost cardmgr[804]: + /lib/modules/2.4.26-1.ll.rhfc1.ccrma/kernel/sound/snd-vxpocket.o: post-install snd-vxpocket failed Aug 23 10:47:17 localhost cardmgr[804]: + /lib/modules/2.4.26-1.ll.rhfc1.ccrma/kernel/sound/snd-vxpocket.o: insmod snd-vxpocket failed Aug 23 10:47:17 localhost cardmgr[804]: modprobe exited with status 255 Aug 23 10:47:17 localhost cardmgr[804]: module /lib/modules/2.4.26-1.ll.rhfc1.ccrma/pcmcia/snd-vxpocket.o not available Aug 23 10:47:18 localhost cardmgr[804]: get dev info on socket 0 failed: Resource temporarily unavailable The modules "snd-vxpocket", "snd-vx-cs", "snd-vx-lib" and "snd-hwdep" are loaded after the card insertion, despite the messages saying that "insmod snd-vxpocket" failed. But the card is not recognized by ALSA. I'm running Fedora Core 1 with Planet CCRMA, kernel 2.4.26-1.ll.rhfc1.ccrma, and all my alsa packages are 1.0.4-1.cvs.rhfc1.ccrma. I am totally stumped as to why the vxloader program won't see my card. I'm apparently using version 1.0 of vxloader, and I've found that there is a slightly newer version of the program (1.0.5) that I will try as soon as I can. Does anyone have any ideas about this problem? Any help much appreciated. Thanks Jacob Last
