[linux-audio-user] preferred motherboards ?

by Dave Phillips

Greetings: I'm configuring a system for a friend whose musical needs are quite simple, but in the course of things he asked me which motherboards are preferred by Linux audio people. I confess I'm not very savvy about the subject, but I figured some of you folks would lend your opinions regarding suitable boards for either amateur or professional use. Of course I'd also like to know if there are particular boards I should avoid. TIA !

Re: [linux-audio-user] Just how bad is USB audio?

[linux-audio-user] alsa +laptop +performance

by dietrich.heese.boutin＠utoronto.ca

Hi, I am looking to install alsa on a laptop along with something for more reasonable sound such as a Roland ua-20. I was wondering if anyone had successfully done something similar or knew of any information resources? So far I have heard that alsa does not work, only oss, and that the latency that can be expected with such a set up is worth neglect. However, these were all claims from a year or two ago, since then I have seen a message wherein a claim to having repaired some known quirks in Roland ua-20 with alsa were established. ANy light shed on this subject would be greatly appreciated. SIncerely, DHB

RE: [linux-audio-user] problem with snd

by Reuben Martin

Sounds like whatever graphical display you are trying to use is trying to access an OpenGL related function (Or some kind of function that has to do with 3D). The nv driver used for Nvidia cards supports 2D ONLY. I would recommend going to Nvidia's web site and downloading the latest driver and GLX driver that fits your distro configuration. Then see if that fixes your problem. Basically the message is telling you that it's trying to access something that simply does not exist for the display device. Also, I doubt this is an ALSA problem, so always make sure that you check to be sure that you have narrowed the problem down to an ALSA specific problem before posting it on this list. -----Original Message----- From: Frank Pirrone [mailto:fpirrone@localnet.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 29, 2003 8:50 PM To: linux-audio-user(a)music.columbia.edu Subject: [linux-audio-user] problem with snd Using the current Planet CCRMA rpms on a RedHat 8.0 system running ALSA, lowlat kernel, etc. I get the following error when trying to execute the graphical snd linked to openmotif: Xlib: extension "NV-GLX" missing on display ":0.0". Segmentation fault Snd and its tools work fine at the console, but this gui problem has me stumped. My Dell 410 Workstation has the NVIDIA/TNT2 video chipset but I am running the distro's XFree86 driver not the chipmaker's accelerated one. I'm assuming this NV-GLX in the error message is in reference to a video configuration problem. I guess I'm not making this sound like a Linux-audio problem, but afterall, it is snd. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Frank

by Dave Phillips

Greetings: I'd like to try building the latest ReZound soundfile editor, but it appears that the required FOX Toolkit is seriously off-line. Does anyone here know where I can retrieve the FOX sources ?

[linux-audio-user] Dedicated Digital Audio Workstation

by Jimmie Houchin

Hello, I am wanting to put together a dedicated DAW for the recording of sermons. From that recording I will produce cassettes, cds, mp3 and ogg/speek (as hardware support comes). I am totally uneducated as to what is best for such. Hardware: I am currently looking at picking up used rackmount unit (4U) for this machine. How much processor is desired/required for this task? PII, PIII, P4/Athlon. Are dual systems (PII,PIII) desireable? I will buy plenty of RAM and hard drive space. Any preference in soundcards? Anything else? I do want good quality recording. Software: Need not be complicated or highly featured per se. My editing needs currently are minimal. Pick a starting point, pick an end point. Create new file. Ability to select beginning, middle and end points when creating cassettes. I will be connecting this to a rackmounted cassette deck, a mixer, etc. I currently use Debian (Sid) for my home machine. If that makes any difference. Thanks for help and suggestions. Jimmie Houchin

[linux-audio-user] Anybody know the use of these?

by Luke Yelavich

Hi all. Just got Slackware 8.1 up and running with kernel 2.4.20 and ALSA 0.9rc6. I have a TerraTec DMX 6Fire 24/96 card. The chipset it uses is an Envy24. I am wondering what all the different mixer options are for. These are taken from alsamixer: * IEC958 * IEC958 1 * ADC -- I think this is a line input. * ADC 1-5 -- I also think these are inputs. * Analog Input select * Breakbox LED * DAC -- These are the outputs. I know these, I have 6 of them. * Deemphasis -- I have 3 of these. * Front digital input * H/W -- I have 6 of these. * IPGA Analog -- I have 6 of these. * Multi -- I have 10 of these. * Multi Capture -- I have 10 of these. *Multi Track Internal Clock -- I think this has something to do with recording. * Multi Track Peak -- I have 4 of these. * Multi Track Rate Locking * Multi Track Rate Reset * Multi Track Volume Rate * Optical Digital Input -- Digital connectors on the front panel I presume. * Phone Analog Input -- Self explanetory. Any help as to what these all are would be much appreciated. Thanks Luke.
