[linux-audio-user] Noise removal, what filter is best?

by Tim Beauregard

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I'm looking for a filter/software to remove noise from a sound file. I'm not an audio expert so will try to describe the noise in a way that you out there might be able to put a name to it and recommend a suitable filter/software to remove it. It is a short sharp blip, fairly high frequency, sounds like a compass point stabbing glass. It occurs as often as every minute or so in the two hour sound file. I obtained this file by recording DAB radio here in the UK. I'm presuming the noise is derived from errors in the transmission or analogue to digital conversion phase of the broadcast. I think it is due to a signal exceeding line volume. I've tried the gramofile filter 'Conditional Median Filter II', which failed to remove the noise. If necessary I could email a sample of the noise. I'm using Debian 3.0r0, 2.4.18 kernel. Thank you in advance :-) Tim Beauregard -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQE/Snz3sUUdIDHrdAURAuF/AJ9+QZHf4lZMgDLkAm+wv1Ov3dTgqACghi2f 1q7lXukyBjtYvG0mTFPv+po= =Mu6g -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[linux-audio-user] cannot get mplayer to resume an interrupted stream

by Alex Timmer

hi all, i use mplayer to successfully play an ".asx" stream [internet radio broadcast]. but i have every few hours a short interruption in my internet connection, upto about 10 secs. network connection is automatically restored. after each interruption in the stream mplayer's cache goes empty, so even with the huge default cache of 8192KB (> 1min audio) i end up having to quit and restart mplayer. 1) is there any way to get mplayer to try to retry/reconnect after it detects an interrupt in the media stream? 2) is there any other program that can play .asx streams and will survive these temporary interuptions of the stream (with caching)? cau, ALEX ________________________________________________________________________ Want to chat instantly with your online friends?

Re: [linux-audio-user] alsa driver install help

by Jamie Lutch

>You need the kernel headers package and the ncurses-devel package. I found the ncurses-devel, but a search through the suse install finds nothing like 'kernel headers'. Is there an explicit name for this module? thanks, jamie

[linux-audio-user] Dual Soundcard Woes

by Peter Hutnick

Gang, I'm not sure this is the best place to ask this, but here goes . . . I have a "VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C686 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 80)." according to /proc/pci using the via82cxxx_audio module that comes stock with Red Hat 9. (The 2.4.20-8 version due to some buggyness in the 2.4.20-20.9 versions V4L drivers.) I also have a "Burr-Brown Japan PCM2702" (according to /proc/bus/usb/devices) sound device built into my home stereo receiver. It seems to use a driver simply called "audio" that is part of the USB driver set. I want to use the VT82cxxx for everything except a fixed set of multimedia apps (xawtv/motv, mplayer, xine, xmms). My first problem is that the USB device seems to be /dev/dsp and the sound card (actually on board audio) is /dev/dsp1. I'd like this to be the other way around. There is no entry in /etc/modules.conf for the USB device . . . my first instinct was to just switch them around there. The other thing is that control over which device gets used seem to be flakey. For instance the motv -C switch seems to do nothing. I always get the output from the soundcard. With mplayer using -ao oss:/dev/dsp[1] seems to give me control over which device is used about 90% of the time. The other 10% it just seems to "do what it wants to." I'm about as sure as I can be that this isn't just fat-finger syndrome. Thanks in advance for any and all advice. -Peter PS: I suspect someone will suggest "Just use Alsa." but there doesn't seem to be an Alsa driver for the USB device. -P PPS: Anyone know of any good "CD Player" app that supports CDDA? I'd like to be able to use my CDROM->USB->Home Stereo.

[linux-audio-user] how to invest sensible to get more stability for JACK

by Hartmut Z Noack

Hello, i am working quite intense on lerning ARDOUR by doing. Using its beta i exrerience some bugs that are more or less tolerablein such great an App for no cost (crashes when trying some adventurous routing-stuff, some lesser gui-issues). After all there are only 2 really serious problems: 1.)Importing .wav-files fails too often (regardless if these files are written by Samplitude, Audacity, rezound or even Ardour itself) How is that on your setups out there? 2.)Many xruns, (some after 2 seconds, others after 2 mins, mostly within 40 secs or so - sometimes i had testrecordings of unbroken 10 minutes) I use Ardour on SuSE 8.2 pro with jack0.74 as root only on runlevel 3 in Windowmaker, all networking is off, no kdeinit is running. System is: Athlon XP 1800, 512MB DDR, 60GB Samsung HD/IDE, Terratec EWX 24/96 I think about wether i buy another IDE-HD and spread the installation on 2 disks to get more bandwith or getting another 512 RAM to let Jack run without HD or investing in a SCSI-HD for installation and Projects and using the IDE-Disk for Archiving only. What would you prefer, how are your Experiences about this Bandwithissues? Thank you

[linux-audio-user] drums++

by Robert Jonsson

Hi all, This appeared on freshmeat a while ago. http://dpp.mikekohn.net/ I don't know if this guy is a reader so I thought I would mention it :) It seems it is a programming language specifically for scripting drum-sequences for midi ! That seems like one specialized language :) I'm putting it down as another cool thing I need to try... /Robert

[linux-audio-user] alsa driver install help

by Jamie Lutch

i am trying to install the alsa 0.96 driver with vxpocket support according to the instructions here: http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php3?company=Digigram& card=VXpocket+V2&chip=&module=vxpocket I am in suse 8.2, kernel 2.4.20-4GB I have the soundcore module installed under the 'quick install' section I was able to create the directory and unzip the tar there. but I get stuck when executing the following line: ./configure --with-cards=vxpocket --with-sequencer=yes;make;make install after doing a bunch of checks, shell returns the following: checking for kernel version... The file /lib/modules/2.4.20-4GB/build/include/linux/version.h does not exist Please, install the package with full kernel sources for your distribution or use --with-kernel=dir option to specify another directory with kernel sources (default is /usr/src/linux). so I tried it with --with-kernel=/usr/src/linux and --with-kernel=/lib/modules/2.4.20-4GB/build, neither worked. At this point, gave up and went looking for a i586 rpm, and installed the following: alsa-0.9.6-0.pm.0.i586.rpm alsa-tools-0.9.6-0.pm.0.i586.rpm alsa-lib-0.9.6-1.i586.rpm when I installed the alsa-lib rpm, it said there were some conflicts with the first one, so i ran it using --force The vxpocket should apparently be installable thru yasT at this point, but there still is no module for the vxpocket anywhere. in addition, alsaconf doesnt run, a window pops up, but then it shuts down. at this point, I went back to the alsa page, and continued to compile from source. the libraries installed ok, but when I wen to install the alsa-utils, it starts, but gets an error, and shell says: configure: error: this pacage requires a curses library make: *** No targets specified and no makefile file found. Stop. make: *** No rule to make target 'install'. Stop. this is getting really frustrating! any help is appreciated thanks! jamie

[linux-audio-user] Small alsaplayer issue

by Mark Knecht

Hi, I'm noting this evening that on a newer RPWL CD (Stock) with no dead time between tracks that alsaplayer is making a small, somewhat frustrating dead spot between each track while I'm listening. Has anyone else seen this, or am I somehow not setting up something that would fix this? This happens with or without using Jack. The driver is a new, unreleased HDSP 9652 driver if that might make a difference. Alsa is 0.9.6 under Gentoo. Thanks, Mark
