Hello all, I'm just now putting together my first linux box and need somebody to hold my hand and walk me through the setup of my sound card. (BTW if there is already a thread on this that I didn't catch on my quick search of the list archives, please point me to it.) I'm currently using a RME 96/8 PAD on a RH8 distro. I installed the alsa packages available from freshrpms.net. After getting everything installed I started up alsamixer and the only controls available is a volume control for the DAC. Please tell me that I'm missing something and that there is much more control functionality available than just levels for the DAC. Shouldn't I have at least some sort of controls for the digital IOs and the ADAT? Is there some sort of fancy config I need to do in /etc/asoundrc? Have I missed something in configuration of devices, subdevices, some package not installed etc? Also, (slightly off topic) this card is very picky about the buffer settings (i.e. fixed buffersize of 64KBytes). I know what settings work when setting number of periods and frame size, but how do I work that out when programs only let you set the buffer size in units of time rather than actual size? Any help is appreciated. Reguards, -Reuben

Hi Mark, Thanks very much for your those hints. Do you have any idea (or where I can find the documentation) on how to play through the SPDIF or ADAT ports? Where is the matrix mixer controls (amixer) documented for these cards? DS Mark Knecht wrote: dsen, Hi. I'm messing with similar things this evening. (And not doing great, but not failing either.) I'm using a HDAP 9652, not the Multiface, but it's the same driver I believe. The difference is I have no 'headphone output'. Just 26 outputs. I'm in KDE. Inside of a Konquerer window, I have set the file associations for wav and x-wave to be aplay -device="plughw" This seems to work all the time in a Konquerer window, but doesn't work on a file just sitting on my desktop. Don't ask me why. FYI#1 - make sure you don't have a blocking aplay sitting around. Do a ps -aux | grep aplay and make sure nothing is there. FYI#2 - My headphones and main speakers are running off of playback_1 & 2. Good luck, Mark On Wed, 2002-12-18 at 20:29, D.

by Alexander Carôt

Hej to all, I used to work with the really nice loopbased timestretching music application ACID on windows. Is there any equivalent on linux ? Thanks a lot -- A l e x

[linux-audio-user] RE: [linux-audio-dev] RME Hammerfall DSP Cardbus+Multiface

by Mark Knecht

Paul, Great info. I didn't know about modinfo. Is there a way to query what the current setting of these parameters are? It seems that I'm told I have a range to work in, like 1-8, but no indication of how they are currently set or what they do. (Maybe only read the code?) I'm sure that many are just on/off sorts of things, but some clearly are not.

[linux-audio-user] RME Hammerfall DSP Cardbus+Multiface

by D. Sen

Hi, I have just bought myself the Cardbus+Multiface RME system. I think I have finally gotten the alsa modules (snd-hammerfall-mem and snd-hdsp) to load correctly along with the OSS emulation modules. BUT I cant seem to play anything out of the Lineout/Headphone output. I have tried various 'amixer cset' commands but all I get is silence (trying to play a simple wav file using aplay). Any suggetsions? -- --------------------------------------- D.

Well done, guys! Im really impressed, being able now to play and record from/to several MIDI sources, and work with a long session without a single crash. Thank you very much!

[linux-audio-user] AD/DA

by linuxrob＠dod.net

Thanks for the info but I still have a few questions. Does the AI3 support 96 KHz like the ADI-8 DS does? I know it supports 24 bit, which is useful. Does the ADI-8 DS do anything the AI3 can't? the price difference is huge, and I don't really see all that much of a difference. Thanks! Robert Cohen Also, where can I find a copy of the HDSP 9652 drivers?

[linux-audio-user] at my wits end

by iriXx

i dont quite know how to do this any more.. getting to wits end still going with usb audio stuff have tried with and without the devfs stuff in modules.conf have tried with alsa tarballs and without them have tried instructions as per kevin's site nothing seems to be working: xmms says this: [root@hamish miriam]# ** WARNING **: oss_open(): Failed to open audio device (/dev/dsp): No such device similiar results for alsaplayer please help! i'm at my wits end! ;-) cant explain why it would work 2 days ago and wont work now i've tried repeating everything i did then (which was just to make sure mandrake libalsa2-devel and libalsa-data rpms were installed and then clean out modules and install again from tarballs. it worked, i dont know how it worked but it did). the only thing i can think of is those weird warning messages i got when building alsa-driver, it was something about the records in /lib/modules/2.4.19-16mdk/kernel/sound/ saying that this was the same location i have used before does anyone know what this means? or how i should proceed? thanks m~ -- iriXx www.iriXx.org copyleft: creativity, technology and freedom? info(a)copyleftmedia.org.uk www.copyleftmedia.org.uk _ ( ) ascii ribbon against html email X / \ cat /dev/sda1 > /dev/dsp *** stopping make sense ***

[linux-audio-user] mpg123-streams and ecasound/lame-padding

by Christoph Rupp

Hi, i convert a live-stream with ecasound to MP3s; but mpg123 has a lot of problems with the stream. i have discovered that here and then there's an mp3 frame with Padding set to 1 and as soon as the first padding-frame appears mpg123 starts to get a hickup. The only lame-option i use is the following: ext-mp3-output-cmd = lame -b 64 -a -m m -x -S - %f (i need a mono-64kbit-stream) I have searched the lame man-page but haven't found any switch to disable the padding. any idea what i could do?

[linux-audio-user] ANNOUNCE: Rosegarden-4 0.8.5 released

by Chris Cannam

The Rosegarden team have the pleasure of announcing the latest release of their MIDI and audio sequencer and score editor for Linux. The source code is available now from the project homepage: http://www.all-day-breakfast.com/rosegarden The availability of binary packages depends on their various maintainers; please check the project homepage for more information. New features since the 0.8 release include: o Improved MIDI file I/O: better support for banks and merging in import, better support for delay, transpose etc in export o MIDI device Bank and Program editor, including import and export of Studio data o MIDI Panic Button for clearing down stuck notes o Added some keyboard controls to matrix o Added real-time segment delays o Progress display completely overhauled o ALSA clients can be added dynamically (you can change your soft synth configuration while Rosegarden is running) o MIDI events filter dialog for MIDI THRU and MIDI record o MIDI/ALSA recording bug fixed (stopping after so many recorded events) o Many bug fixes, tweaks and performance improvements Unfortunately we've had to drop KDE2 support from this release onwards as it was getting too difficult to maintain both KDE2 and KDE3 in the same development tree. We're hoping this won't affect too many users in the long term. Finally, we would like to thank the cachegrind/kcachegrind team for a truly useful development tool. Chris
