[linux-audio-user] new computer woes

by Anthony

Thought I'd post to see if anyone has any advice. I've just built a new SMP machine: Asus A7M266-D, 1.0 Ghz Athlons * 2. I got some nice fans from endpcnoise.com (Molex) that are virtually silent and a Power Supply which is louder than what I'd hope but very reasonable for 400W's I suppose (dunno). I installed gentoo, latest alsa, etc... Unfortunately playback is distorted during video load. It is *not* a CPU load issue - I can playback just fine while compiling the kernel with make -j3. If I scroll pages up and down in galeon the sounds slows down :o. Jack doesn't report Xruns but sometimes delays when I do this. This occurs both with the onboard C-media chip and my Delta 44. I struggled for a long time to get the IRQ's not to share. I tried all the suggestions in the Audio Quality HOWTO. The video card is a PCI GForce 2. It was in my old machine and didn't cause any problems (while my old onboard AGP did create some noise). The only thing I can find is the PCI Latency settings are all set to 32. This seems odd I suppose, so I tried higher settings for the video to give it more bandwith and other variations with no success. I might go out and buy an inexpensive AGP card tomorrow, but I'd hate to find out the problem is deeper than that. Kernel is 2.4.20 vanilla tried with and without lowlat. Maybe I should back down to 2.4.19? Any suggestions? TIA --ant

[linux-audio-user] Re: linux-audio-user digest, Vol 1 #162 - 9 msgs

by dietrich.heese.boutin＠utoronto.ca

Hello, I was wondering if anyone here had any experience using the new demudi/agnula beta distro? Reason being that I would like to know the process for downloading the iso and extracting it before burning. Furthermore, will it be possible to boot from this cd or is really only an upgrade to a debian system. Thanks for any help --DHB

[linux-audio-user] Music Construction Set

by JSusanj＠aol.com

I recently joined a choir and I find myself behind since everyone else is intimately familiar with the music. I loaded up the Music Construction Set on my Commodore 64 and it is working out OK. However, I really would like an equivalent program for Linux. I need to be able to put notes on a staff to match the sheet music and then I need to play it back. The program has to be simple to use and easy to learn. So far I have found some very powerful programs but with power comes complexity so that none seem to fit my requirements. Is there anything available to do what I want? Jeff S.

[linux-audio-user] USB MIDI and Audio

I'm pleased to say that the Oxygen 8 now works with my RedHat-based laptop, after installing the latest stuff from Planet CCRMA. The only problem is that now my USB Audio interface fails.

[linux-audio-user] Linux audio ISO

by Terry Ewing

Hello, I'm interested in using CDparanoia and possibly GRIP to copy and rip CDs. Unfortunately, my desktop system is a Windows2000 box. I'm not willing to install Linux just to use these tools. Is there an ISO image out that comes with these utils? Thanks, Terry

[linux-audio-user] /etc/init.d/alsasound start doesn't load modules

by Eric Dantan Rzewnicki

My system disk on this box failed recently, so I had to reinstall on a different disk. It's been a while since I last set up alsa from scratch, so I'm doubting myself and suspect that I've forgotten something (or, perhaps, that alsa has changed recently in some way). In my previous settup I think the alsasound init script loaded my drivers on boot. This time I can't seem to get "/etc/init.d/alsasound start" to work. It runs with no errors (no output at all, actually), but the sound modules are not loaded. I'm using debian woody, but I have none of the debian alsa packages installed. My kernel is 2.4.19 with Robert Love's preempt patch and Andrew Morton's Low latency patch. I've compiled and installed alsa-0.9.0rc6-drivers, -lib and -utils. I can do "modprobe snd-ymfpci", set the mixer and hear sounds with aplay. after loading the drivers with modprobe /etc/init.d/alsasound stop works as expected, unloading the drivers. This isn't urgent, since I can get sound using modprobe to load the drivers. But, not having the init script working makes me suspect I've forgotten something and if I forgot one thing I could have forgotten others .... anyway, any suggestions will be welcome. Thanks, Eric Rz.

Does anyone has any experience with motu hardware? Specifically 828 or 896. Are they co-operating with the community to create drivers? Cheers j.
