[linux-audio-user] lrdf build tool changes

by Taybin Rutkin

Hi Steve, I had to apply these changes to get liblrdf to build on MacOSX. I think they should work on linux too. If they do, could you apply to the next version? Thanks, Taybin

Having administrated 5 delta cards (2*1010+1*66+2*44) for soon 2 years on linux/alsa at notam/oslo, whithout any trouble, I can safely reccomend delta. I also had an unpleasant experience this summer getting an rme card to work. There were lots of lots of trouble getting the driver to work somewhat properly. However, I think that was a digiface so you probably wont experience the same trouble. But, if I should choose, and had an unlimited amount of money, I would take the 1010 card. ~No doubt. --

[linux-audio-user] re: sampling at high frequencies

by BrbrOfSvl＠aol.com

->Which membrane? The basilar membrane is responsible for frequency alaysis(AFAIR), but its limited by its geometry. Doesn't it detect resonances inthe narrowing tube? Transients could be detected before the pressure wavereaches the basilar membrane, though I'm just guessing here.<- Quick review - changes in air pressure cause the eardrum to move. This causes the three little bones (hammer, anvil, stirrup) to move - these bones are responsible for a great deal of amplification of sound which is needed when you are trying to vibrate liquid from vibrating air. The last and smallest bone causes a little membrane on the outside of the inner ear to vibrate, which sets up vibrations in the fluid of the inner ear. That fluid causes the basilar membrane to vibrate (the very very short-story version of this is that the basilar membrane vibrates in different places based on the frequency). Basilar membrane vibrations, as well as the further amplification gained by active outer-hair-cell vibration causes potentials to fire in inner-haircells which form synapses with neurons which eventually send their information, cleaned up a bit, to pathways to the brain. Transients are still detected by the basilar membrane, but there are stations in the ascending pathways which deal with transient sounds differently than longer, more periodic sounds. The moral of the story is that there's still a TON of work to be done just on pitch perception - and of course even more on general auditory perception. Matt

[linux-audio-user] Creative Extigy and Linux

by Oliver Bohlen

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello List I'm looking forward to get the Creative Extigy for my Notebook but there is one think I want to know before. My Notebook has a SiS 7012 SoundChip, working with ALSA on Gentoo Linux with Kernel 2.6.1-rc1. I want to use both Soundcards. Is this possible? As I read on http://www.cs.umass.edu/~cochran/ is the Extigy driver based on OSS. Did anyone of you have any problems with using the Extigy together with other Soundcards? Or has anyone of you experience with the Extigy and other Soundcards?

[linux-audio-user] sound input directly to output

by wouter buytaert

Hello, for some reason, my sound input is redirected directly to the output instead of being captured by alsa/jack/ardour. I suppose there are many possible explanations, but are there easy checks to get an idea about where my sound input gets lost? Or a detailed guide about sound input and alsa and jack? Sound input has been working with ecamegapedal before I installed ardour, so I suppose it's no hardware problem. My setup: gentoo kernel 2.4.23 ASUS A7N8X-X nforce mainboard alsa snd-intel8x0 driver (working for output) jack 0.91 (output OK) jack readable clients: alsa_pcm (capture_1 & capture_2) thanks, Wouter

[linux-audio-user] Help - with Midiman Quattro

I Have outputs from Quattro work great, but no inputs, and no way to adjust volume.

[linux-audio-user] RME Multiface vs. M-Audio Delta 1010

by Florin Andrei

I'm comparing the RME Multiface with the M-Audio Delta 1010 (the full model, not the LT). Both things provide 8 balanced analog ins/outs (and balanced is very important to me), some digital ins/outs (the M-Audio provides only SPDIF, RME has SPDIF and optical) and MIDI. Both are fully supported by ALSA. Both can do 96kHz/24bit. M-Audio Delta doesn't have headphones output. The big difference is the price. RME Multiface can be bought in the US for like $920 (the breakout box plus the PCI card). M-Audio Delta 1010 is $600 total; even if i stick to it a 4-way headphone amp, it's still only $700. What do i lose if i go the M-Audio way, instead of the RME? I know the RME stuff are more like sound routers (can combine the channels in a very flexible fashion), plus they do a lot of things with 0% CPU load. How's the M-Audio Delta in this regard? Can i do the same clever things with it? -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/

[linux-audio-user] Sending single wav file to multiple alsa sound devices simultaenously ?

by Robert Rozman

Hi, I have set up two alsa devices with dmix plugin for each. I can now send several independent audio streams to two destinations - different sound cards (dmix_main and dmix_kids). I wonder if I can set up additional pcm device that could receive single audio stream and send it to two cards simultaenously ? Can this device be used in parallel to both dmix devices ? Thanks, Robert.
