Using a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz card or should I say experimenting...on
the 2.6.5mm-2 kernel from Thac's repository.
I'm curious if I can get some additional discrete outputs in jack via
the good ol' mystery .asoundrc file? I have wondered with all of these
supposed 5.1 cards that have a rear and front as well as center channels
as to why this is not possible? The one thing I see different about the
Santa Cruz is that it seems to show dedicated pcm slots for center and
rear in /proc/asound/pcm?
Having 4 discreet outs on a 5.1 card would be usefull for some things me
thinx.

Hi Steven:
Forgive me for this late reply, I was in Karlsruhe when your message
arrived.
For the most part I had already discovered the answers to my original
queries, but read on... ;-)

That would be good. We autotoolers are quite familiar with the 'make;
make install; make clean' process...

This is an odd one. Apparently the install step is not installing the
man page by default (someone else mentioned that they manually placed it
in /usr/local/man). I downloaded, built, and installed the SCons package
available from the home site, and I *think* I followed the instructions
exactly. At any rate, SCons itself works perfectly. :)

I guess that's okay. I'd be happy if it were de rigeur for autotools too...

Mea culpa, sorry about that. Now it needs to become a de facto component

Thanks, Steven. Your response is much appreciated, and I'll be sure to
contact the SCons team if/when I run into any major difficulties.

Sorry for cross-posting.
Hi all,
now that my new website is online I'd like to let you know that I
recently added a 'Linux Audio' path to my weblog.
This is meant as an offer to all those who find themselves continuously
struggling with lots of postings to LA* & Co.
Of course this can only stand for my point of view and I won't claim for
completeness.

Hy there,
i fooled around with getting my rme hdsp card to work under my 2.6.4 kernel in
debian.
There is some information i collected and i am confused somehow...
If anyone has an idea to help me out I'd be glad to hear!!
Current status: I am able to address my hdsp-multiface f.e. with the app
hdspmixer, after having my box booting Win2k and doing a warm-reboot into
debian running 2.6.4 kernel.
This i found on the net:
If you have a recent hdsp-card or if you are using a recent (December, 2002)
driver in windows or macOS, you might have the wrong firmware installed.
In order to make alsa-hdsp recognize the hdsp you have to downgrade the firmware
of your card(bus) to revision 10 (0xa hex).
(by klingt.org)
Q: Is this still so? I'm using my Multiface with different computers, running
Win2k, Mac OSX and Debian, so I'd like to be able to use the latest drivers
(which also implies using the latest firmware i guess)
Q: Where to get the firmware??
Q: Has the firmware get loaded via hdsploader after loading the modules, and how
do you do it? a script?
Anyway, i get:
bigh:~/alsa-tools-1.0.4/hdsploader# ./hdsploader
hdsploader - firmware loader for RME Hammerfall DSP cards
Looking for HDSP + Multiface or Digiface cards :
Card 0 : RME Hammerfall DSP + Multiface at 0xdfdf0000, irq 18
Upload firmware for card hw:0
Unable to open file
'/usr/local/share/alsa/firmware/hdsploader/multiface_firmware_rev11.bin' for
reading
There is no alsa directory in: /usr/local/share/
I just compiled a 2.6.4 kernel and I don't feel i have to apt-get-install alsa
since i'm glad to have alsa in my kernel finally... :-)
(btw: if i'd install alsa via apt-get, would that overwrite crucial
settings/files created by my 2.6.x kernel?)
Thanks if anyone has time to help me out!!!

This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/
Hello all,
I have finally made the choice in a card for my laptop, and got a VXPocket
440.
Does anyone have any advice on using this card?
The literature and specs from evrywhere I look says that it can use all 4
inputs, but when I fire up a mixer, I only see 2. Is this the case, of can
that be modified?
Any help would be great!
Thanks,
Wade
Having seen the recommendations for gcdmaster, and because my partner
has lots of tapes she wants to archive to CD, I installed it on her
(recent Debian snapshot) system.
It worked very nicely for about 5-10 minutes and then crashed with a
segfault, whilst editing track marks. Repeatedly.
Anyone know what environmental factors can affect this? Somebody must
have it running more stable than that to abe able to use it. The version
of gcdmaster seems to be the latest - 1.1.7
Hardware: AMD Duron 1300, 512M RAM, onboard CMI sound chip,
run-of-the-mill IDE drive. Lots of USB devices (printer,
mouse, KB, scanner)
Software: Kernel 2.4.25, Gnome 2.4 desktop.
If it doesn't work we'll be back to doing it the hard way with Audacity,
which at least works.
I might try with a small enough audio file to fit all in memory, in case
it's a VM problem. And better check there is a swap partition - I'm sure I
installed one....!
Any suggestions gratefully welcomed.
PS just seen that version 1.1.8 is available. Better try that too...

I think I was inquiring into this before at one point long ago, but I can't
find much that's helpful
I've got a red hat 9 box, latest planetccrma kernel and packages - using the
cmedia sound card that's built in to the soyo dragon mobo
trying to get spdif IN working, especially in Ardour - but no luck
SPDIF Out works, but not spdif in
i've been in alsamixer (and sometimes gamix) to penis around with the
various settings (enabling ie6blahblah 5v and "in select" and "in phase
reverse" and such and no combo has worked so far.
i have been able to get input from the lamo "line in" but not from spdif
in - haven't tried the optical in (or out) yet...hmmm...
anybody got ideas?
I was wondering what video editing applications are people using? Im looking for Adobe Priemere and After-Effects like applications, are there such things for linux?
Thanks for the help!

Hello,
I've got to submit a magazine report on the Linux Audio Conference at
ZKM by tomorrow, but I stupidly forgot to take my camera with me to
the event, so I have no photos of my own.
The photos have not been posted on the official site yet, so if anyone
has decent print-quality images from the event that they could
supply, I'd really appreciate it. In particular there were a few
group photos taken which would be great, but at this stage anything
would be good!
Thanks
Daniel

This appears to be completely outside of the scope of things Audacity
can do.
Some of these may be what you are looking for:
Windows
Pure Data with the http://www.parasitaere-kapazitaeten.net/ext/vst/
external (I have no idea if it supports VSTi's, I have never really
followed the discussions about it on the pd list)
