Should I get them out of /etc/modprobe.conf? The USB is very problematic. The uhci-hcd module needed to have snd-usb-audio work does not shot down correctly. Indeed, an attempt to modprobe -r on that will not terminate. Shutdown requires the big red switch (which apprently, 2.6 sits on and does a little cleanup once this is momentarily pressed). I have to exclude this module till I know what to do about it!

Re: [linux-audio-user] Some music made with Linux

by davidrclark＠earthlink.net

I'll chime in here, because I think Mark was actually responding to my sugggestion about multi-sample imports in Specimen. I really like Pete's Specimen program, and I find it very useful. I think it's amazing that he's done it so quickly as a first project. Please just leave him alone, OK? He's already spoken; let it go. We all have complex reasons for choosing our projects, choosing our profession, marrying a certain person, etc. There is no way someone else can step in and understand all those complex reasons. When someone says "No!" it usually means at least "No." Perhaps I should add that I have myself had many bad experiences in trying to "channel a small amount of time" into a project. For me, this has never worked out. In fact, I consider that kind of talk to be a warning sign not to get involved. The more desperate the plea, the more likely there is doom ahead.

[linux-audio-user] Alsa startup booting 2.6.2

by David Baron

In reality, seems to be working just fine now. UBS works and can record notes to Rosegarden. On boot, BEFORE alsa start, restore mixer setting, etc., there is a bunch of underfind snd_..... items. Apparently harmless. I had added my alsa devices (not of the "autodetected" types) to modprobe.conf where it says to do so. I added them to the /lib/modules version as well--this may be the reason. The question is where is it correct to do so?

[linux-audio-user] Re: GVox

by David Baron

No reason they should not work on Win98. Not all that different than Win95! Linux? I go my sw60xg to work following a little trick recommended by Yamaha before they had a y2k driver for this card: Use mpu401. Another possiblity would be to experiment with existing alsa serial-midi stuff. This box should be mostly sending raw midi events. How does it work, just for playing synth-guitar? Unable to afford a Roland, might be intereted in one of these. BTW, bough a "music-star" controller for $40 on ebay. Should have taken more. OK, no touch-sensitivity (did not expect it), but 10-note polyphony keyboard for that price!?! Plugs into a gameport so bought a Roland UM1 to use it through USB. Now to get the USB working again on 2.6 .... On Sunday 22 February 2004 03:36, linux-audio-user-request(a)music.columbia.edu wrote: > I bought not one...but 2 of these damn things from Ebay.

[linux-audio-user] Gvox Midi guitar...

by Russell Hanaghan

I bought not one...but 2 of these damn things from Ebay. It was a hex pickup and propietary box with RS232 midi interface to PC. They went bust a few years ago but these things are still around.The last Windblowz driver support ended in the Win 95 era. Some have reported getting them to work on Win 98. Anyway, I got 2...Right now they make great paperweights! Anyone interested in taking a stab at some linux drivers for them? If it could be done somewhat easily by someone versed in that area, it would be a possible cheap Midi guitar option. These boxes float around on Ebay for between $25.00 to $50.00. If they work even half reasonably, thats a big difference to the next midi guitar option like the Roland unit. Hell, the pickup is $200.00!! Anyway, hands up whos interested! :) I would be willing to offer up the second unit to someone who can actually get this done... R~

[linux-audio-user] Help needed to start jackd with a vxpocket

by digger vermont

Hello All, I haven't been able to get jack to start with a vxpocket V2. I'm using the commandline "jackd -d alsa -d hw:1" and getting the error: jackd 0.94.0 Copyright 2001-2003 Paul Davis and others. jackd comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; see the file COPYING for details loading driver .. creating alsa driver ... hw:1|hw:1|1024|2|48000|0|0|nomon|swmeter|rt|32bit control device hw:1 configuring for 48000Hz, period = 1024 frames, buffer = 2 periods Couldn't open hw:1 for 32bit samples trying 24bit instead Couldn't open hw:1 for 24bit samples trying 16bit instead Sorry. The audio interface "hw:1" doesn't support any of the hardware sample formats that JACK's alsa-driver can use. ALSA: cannot configure capture channel cannot load driver module alsa The alsa version is 1.0.2c on a powerbook running debian testing /unstable with 2.4.24 kernel. I got the impression from some others on this list that they have it working. What's the trick? Thanks for any help, digger

[linux-audio-user] yamaha rp-u200 and jack: bad sound

by jaap

Thanks to Clemens,I have 4 channel output from my rp-u200 usb-audio "card" The problem now is bad sound,that is,lots of kind of pops or whatever it's named.Also there is sync problem,sometimes the sound is kind of slowing down. I played back sound with different applications:alsaplayer, ecasound,fluidsynth,terminatorX.Always the same result: When I run jack the sound is bad,but when do the same thing without jack running,direct by alsa there are no obvious problems(except having only 2 channels),so it can't be a hardware problem. Any ideas about the origins of this disastrous sound? I have jack 0.94.0,alsa-driver 1.0.2c,kernel 2.4.20-gentoo-r8. Thanks for help, Jaap van Geffen
