Hi Group,
I am thinking of buying a notebok or subnotebook. However I don't know
which one to get?
Here are some requirements the notebook should meet:
1. Runnable with Linux (of course!)
2. Reasonable sound support (recording and playback at least)
3. jack and adour should be able to run
4. WLAN (either build in or via PC-Card)
What notebooks do you use? What are your experiences?
Any help or advice is appreciated.

Dear all,
Just a quick introduction before I get to the problem.
I have a lot of Windows experience of one sort and another, upon which I
develop in Python. I'm new to Linux. I veiw make , kernels ,device
drivers with a fair degree of trepedation.
I have a Roland UA-100 which worked correctly on this machine using
Win2K. I have cleaned windows off the machine and loaded Mandrake 9.0
and have been attempting to work through
http://www.michaelminn.com/linux/usbua100/README.html
I have altered the make files and loaded up Motif et al. and the file
now make and make install run with no errors.
Upon restarting the machine I find in /var/log/syslog
/lib/modules/2.4.19-16mdkenterprise/kernel/drivers/sound/usbua100.o:
unresolved symbol unregister_sound_dsp
/lib/modules/2.4.19-16mdkenterprise/kernel/drivers/sound/usbua100.o:
unresolved symbol unregister_sound_midi
/lib/modules/2.4.19-16mdkenterprise/kernel/drivers/sound/usbua100.o:
unresolved symbol register_sound_dsp
/lib/modules/2.4.19-16mdkenterprise/kernel/drivers/sound/usbua100.o:
unresolved symbol register_sound_midi
modprobe: insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.19-16mdkenterprise/kernel/drivers/sound/usbua100.o failed
I'm a bit stumped here because I don't understand how the .o file can be
prduced if there are un-resolved sysmbols.
I also notice I have no audio facilites listed in the Mandrake Control
Centre. Does this machine believe it has no audio, and could somebody
please elaborate if at all possible?

hi all
just wondering if anyone here is using a dell latitude cpx and if there
are any issues installing linux on it?... or any known sound config issues?
i am lamenting the sad demise of my thinkpad which blew a gasket last
night :-(((. actually its going to be fine, its just the power socket
has worked itself loose or blown a fuse (i.e. it boots fine from the
battery which is by now very flat).
so i had to get a new machine today... gasp! wasnt planning on that
right away but as im writing a book, i've gotta keep working! the plan
is to wait until my friend who knows how to repair the power socket is
back from the USA.
other issue i'm wondering about is installing linux alongside windows
(barf!) xp... ughh... i swore i'd never use XP but its come pre
installed. borg edition, yuck.... but i need it for work.
so i'm thinking maybe with xp being so difficult, running lnx4win might
be an idea, but would this be more demanding on system resources?
i'd like to partition the drive but im not sure how to go about this on
XP... yuk yuk yuk... win2k was easy enough though.... *sigh*....
any ideas muchly appreciated :)
bw & thanx

Hi,
I want to make audio CDs which are playable in hifi CD players. I wish
to burn in steps, yet have the CD playable before final fixation. So
far I have made a lot of coasters. How would the command line read in
order to achieve my goal?
cdrecord -multi speed=4 dev=0,0,0 *.wav
cdrecord -nofix speed=4 dev=0,0,0 *.wav
these will burn a CD which isn't recognised by my hifi CD player until
cdrecord -fix dev=0,0,0
Fixes the disk and allows playing of tracks, allows further burns but
these are not accessible by the CD player as the toc doesn't identify them.
Sadly I am able to create such disks on windoze with Easy CD Creator.
If cdrecord cannot allow this, what is the difference? I'm using
version 1.1.
TIA, Tim
Hi all list people,
I just got myself a nice Digi96/8, and compiled alsa drivers.
Works fine, but it's just doing spdif, I don't know how to make a asound.conf to put it on ADAT, which is what I want, because I want 8 in stead of 2 channels.
I cannot find any adat related asoundrc options on the alsa support pages, but I did saw someone named 'Olaf Titel' in the archives of this list who was using ADAT with alsa, linux and ecasound, which is exactly what I want.
Does anyone here have adat with RME Digi96/8 working with alsa?
Cheers,
Jeroen.
Hi all, I'm searching a replacement for a program like EMagic SoundDiver.
What I need is a simple app for storing and editing the presets of the POD.
Any suggestion?
Thanks!

Hi all,
After the LAD Conference and using apps which used the lrdf taxoomy
(putting plugins into categories) code it became obvious the the current
taxonomy wasn't really useful.
the current taxnomy looks like:
Utilities
Generators
Oscillators
Simulators
Reverbs
Time
Delays
Phasers
Flangers
Chorus
Reverbs
Frequency
Measurement
Filters
Lowpass
Highpass
Bandpass
Combs
Allpass
EQs
Parametric
Multiband
Pitch shifters
Amplitude
Amplifiers
Waveshapers
Modulators
Distortions
Dynamics
Compressors
Expanders
Limiters
Gates
This makes a certian amount of sense from a theoretical point of view, but
isn't much use when you're trying to find a compressor.
So, we need to deine a taxonomy that is more useful to users.
I recon that something like this is a good start, but feedback would
really help:
Utilities
Generators
Oscillators
Delays
Phasers + Allpass
Flangers
Chorus
Reverbs
Filters
Lowpass
Highpass
Bandpass
Combs
EQs
Parametric
Multiband
Pitch shifters
Modulation
Distortion
Amp effects
Waveshapers
Dynamics
Compressors
Expanders
Limiters
Gates
Feel free to suggest changes to make it easier to use. I can drop in the
new taxonomy without changing any code. As soon as we decide on a new
structure I will distribute a new .rdfs file then you can just copy it
over the old one and try it out.

Has anybody been able to fully utilize this sound card using ALSA? I've been
able to set up analog recording. But during playback apparently the ALSA
mixer does not have all of the volume controls necessary. The card, as you
may or may not know, has an external "break-out-box" with just about all of
the internal sound card's inputs and outputs (very convenient btw). I'm able
to control the left and right channels using the master volume control, but
the card also has rear, center, and subwoofer channels as separate outputs.
I believe I've found the volume controls for all of those except the
subwoofer channel. I've tried every volume knob but the subwoofer never
registers a signal. If anybody out there has this sound card and has been
able to use the subwoofer channel under Linux I would appreciate some help.
Thanks,
Rolando.

Hi Chris !
These symbols are exported from the sound-core-module, which you have to
load.
Do a "depmod -a" as root to update your modules-dependency files.
Then load your driver again with "modprobe usbua100". This should load all
required drivers. If not, you have to list all dependencies of usbua100
explicitly in /etc/modules.conf (man modules.conf).

An Object file is produced by the assembler, not the linker.
If you link a prog, the linker puts together the o-files if he can resolve
all symbols; in case of a kernel-module insmod/modprobe look if all symbols
are resolved.

No sound-core -> No usbua100 -> no audio facilites ...
