[linux-audio-user] 2.6 Kernel(s) and RME Hammerfall

by Peter Groves

Hi, I downloaded the latest beta release of the linux kernel last night (2.6.0-test3) but couldn't get it to compile. I looked up the error (just using google) and I found a similar compiling problem related to the RME Hammerfall driver that was identified (and fixed) in the 2.5 kernel series (something like the 2.5.5 kernel). It referred to a patch, but I would think it would only work for the particular version it was designed for. I am trying to include the Hammerfall driver in my build, which makes me think it may be the same problem. Has anyone been able to compile any recent kernels w/ the Hammerfall driver? In the likely event that no one has tried this yet, can you tell me if it would it be better to contact the ALSA mailing list or the linux kernel mailing list to ask for help? Peter

RE: [linux-audio-user] New To List

by eviltwin69＠cableone.net

Chris, In addition to Ardour and Rosegarden you need to check out JAMin. It's not really finished until it's mastered. http://sourceforge.net/projects/jamin. Jan -----Original Message----- From: "linux-audio-user-admin(a)music.columbia.edu" <linux-audio-user-admin(a)music.columbia.edu> on behalf of "Chris Share" <cpsmusic(a)labyrinth.net.au> Sent: Wed, 20 Aug 2003 13:20:05 +1000 To: "linux-audio-user(a)music.columbia.edu" <linux-audio-user(a)music.columbia.edu> Subject: [linux-audio-user] New To List Hi, After reading an article about Linux and music in Sound On Sound recently, I thought I'd take the plunge and begin moving my music studio to Linux. Currently I'm using an Athlon XP-based PC and a PowerMac 7600/200. The PC contains a Hoontech DSP24 Value card and an MPU-401 style MIDI interface that I put together myself. The Mac contains a Yamaha SW1000 card and an Opcode MIDI interface. My main music software is Cubase, although I've used tons of other music software over the years. The main programs I'm interested using are Rosegarden and Ardour, although I'm also interested in looking at some of the softsynth stuff too. I work as a technical writer and have written some music software for Mac and PC (CS1 Background Edit) so I'm fairly computer literate. However, I have no experience with Linux. Initially, I installed Debian on my PC, however it didn't get along with my TFT monitor. I've since bought Red Hat 9.0. Which I'm just about to install. Hopefully it will be a bit easier to use! Before I begin the installation I was wondering if someone could fill me in on the current state of ALSA. I've had a quick look at some of the How-Tos however I'm not clear on how up-to-date they are. I'm currently looking at getting a new soundcard--the Hoontech was really only a temporary measure to get sound out of the PC. Unfortunately, it seems that the SW1000 won't ever be supported so it's not much use. I'd like a card with balanced 24-bit analog I/O and SPDIF I/O. The MiaMIDI card seems to have these features. Does anyone have experience with this card on a Linux system? I also thought that a Delta66 would be suitable too. Cheers, Chris Share

[linux-audio-user] Two sound cards, only sound out of one

by Erik de Castro Lopo

Hi all, I asked this question on the alsa-user list but haven't received a reply so I thought I would ask here. I have two ENS1371 based cards plugged into the one machine: root@sound:~# cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [AudioPCI ]: ENS1371 - Ensoniq AudioPCI Ensoniq AudioPCI ENS1371 at 0xa400, irq 10 1 [AudioPCI_1 ]: ENS1371 - Ensoniq AudioPCI Ensoniq AudioPCI ENS1371 at 0x9400, irq 5 I have also set up a /etc/asound.conf file containing aliases for the cards named "card0" and "card1". I have also run alsamixergui with "-c 0" and "-c 1" parameters to set up output volumes on the two cards (and the controls on the two alsamixergui instances behave independantly). However, when I playback a sound file using: aplay -D card0 a.wav aplay -D card1 a.wav Only card0 produces sound. I have also tried physically swapping the cards but only card0 produces sound. I have also tried the -v option to aplay to confirm that the output is going to device 0 and device 1. I'm out of ideas about this. Does anybody have any hints on how I might get this going?

[linux-audio-user] building noteedit -- how to set KDEDIR, QTDIR

by James Jones

OK. The noteedit docs say to set the environment variables QTDIR and KTEDIR to the "path to your Qt installation" and "path to your KDE installation" respectively. Those don't appear to be set by default, and looking around on groups.google.com turns up a thread that says KDE no longer uses KDEDIR or KDEDIRS, but instead there's a program called kde-config that should be used instead. From running "rpm -ql qt" I'm guessing that I should set QTDIR to /usr/lib/qt-3.1, but it's rather less clear what I should set KDEDIR to. Looking around for kde-config options, I infer that KDEDIR should be set to what kde-config --path ??? outputs where one of the possible "type" values replaces ???, but it's not clear to me, even after looking at the configure script, what the intent is. Any help would be appreciated. (Also, shouldn't the configure script be changed to use kde-config itself, if KDEDIR is obsolete?) James Jones

[linux-audio-user] Audigy 2

by Joerg Anders

Hi all! Some time ago I asked at this list whether Audigy 2 soundcard works with hardware sound generation. The answer was: "Yes!" Today I tried: sfxload 8mbgmsfx.sf2 A soundfont which always worked with SB AWE 64. But surprising: The command works only 1 second. The tse3play -list detects 7 MIDI devices: ------- Port number: 63 Type: ALSA MIDI port Name: Receiver 63:0 ------- Port number: 64 Type: ALSA MIDI port Name: Audigy MPU-401 (UART) 64:0 ------- Port number: 65 Type: ALSA MIDI port Name: Audigy MPU-401 #2 64:32 ------- Port number: 66 Type: ALSA MIDI port Name: Emu10k1 Port 0 65:0 ------- Port number: 67 Type: ALSA MIDI port Name: Emu10k1 Port 1 65:1 ------- Port number: 68 Type: ALSA MIDI port Name: Emu10k1 Port 2 65:2 ------- Port number: 69 Type: ALSA MIDI port Name: Emu10k1 Port 3 65:3 I can play via all of these 3 devices with diffenet MIDI players. But unfortunataly I can't hear anything. I tried all rulers on alsamixer and deleted the "M" symbols on to of these rulers: Nothing helps. Any sugestions? Should I run "sfxload" with a certain option? -- J.Anders, Chemnitz, GERMANY (ja(a)informatik.tu-chemnitz.de)

[linux-audio-user] . Re: Animatronic parrot solution?

by Jonathan Segel

lee suggested PD, i would suggest SuperCollider. i have written many supercollider patches to do this sort of thing, but these are all in Mac - i'm still getting to the point of compiling SC in linux in my "free time" (tm). (though closer now, with debian unstable +alsa running on an older ppc!) anyway, in either app: one continuously running loop that tests (say every 0.1 second) for an input volume threshold, which, if crossed, starts a timer and starts writing to a buffer. my SC versions write start and stop sample numbers into an array to be accessed later. second, a loop that tests if there any sample in the buffer, and plays back accordingly, at rate*2 or whatever, or fft i guess if you want to shift pitch and not rate. third a loop that plays the default sample if nothing else is playing.. hope that helps somewhat... -- _________________________________________________________________ Jonathan Segel -- MAGNETIC -- PO Box 460816 S.F.

[linux-audio-user] jackEQ: dj eq and meter.

by Patrick Shirkey

For those of you who are interested in dj tools or tools for live performance, Steve Harris has made a new plugin called DJ EQ which is a three band EQ commonly found on dj mixing consoles. It's currently only available in the snapshots directory. You may also be interested in a new app we are creating based on the code from JAMin. It's called jackEQ. http://sf.net/projects/jackeq. No webpage yet and only cvs. It is in its infancy but it already connects to JACK and has a one channel (multiple i/o via qjackconnect) EQ and meter. I would like it to be able to do all these things eventually: unlimited channels. jack port connection ala freq tweak style route signal to monitor if monitor button is toggled for channel independant monitor gain control (with meter) and output to alternate alsa_pcm:outs With the above I could use my four channel card as a complete djing tool . You could also use a two channel card in a similar (mono) way. The monitor will be assignable to seperate output channels than the main outs. All the channels can be routed to it if needed. The eq's are all adjusted before the signal arrives at the monitor. This is how I intend to use it: mon ch1 ch2 ch3 ch4 echo ardour | |----------------| | out1&2 out3&4 internal internal If you are interested in contributing please join the mailing list. -- Patrick Shirkey - Boost Hardware Ltd. Http://www.boosthardware.com Http://www.djcj.org - The Linux Audio Users guide ======================================== Being on stage with the band in front of crowds shouting, "Get off! No! We want normal music!", I think that was more like acting than anything I've ever done. Goldie, 8 Nov, 2002 The Scotsman
