Linux audio seems to be the new popular target for worldwide hackers.
This time linuxmao.org <http://www.linuxmao.org> is their last victim, I
hope the admin team will put back the old cherished website online quickly!

I know for the delta (1712 based cards) the maximum i/os always shows up
12/10.
I am not so sure with this unit. even with the delta1010/66/44 if you are
using the gui controller (I know you have not seen that) It shows only the
number of adcs and dacs there are (I have a D66). In the monitor mixer
section it shows all the outputs, but only real inputs. You may have some
of the same.
There may be some reason the adat shows only outputs until it is
connected... then it may be 8, 4 or 2 channels depending on rate. (only 8
inputs up to 48k) Or it may be 2 inputs if it is being used as a second
spdif (total of 6 i/o). The real question in my mind is what inputs are
really there in the 8 channels you have now? The pcie1010 reconfigures
itself quite dramatically depending on what is plugged in. Plugging the
dock in makes some of the plugs on the pcie card inactive for example. The
dock and the daughter card can not be used together either.
I think you will find the 16 outputs are there just because they are mixer
inputs. The inputs? I would assume either spdif l/r then ch 1/2 NC 3/4/5/6
or ch1/2 NC 3/4/5/6 and spdif l/r.
I think the adat would have to be plugged in before the system start and
already set to the rate you were going to use as I don't think (correct me
if I am wrong) alsa can dynamically change the number of ports a device
has and jack would find that a problem too. Do you have the bits to test
what is what?

Hello everyone!
IO'm trying to set up my delta and E-MU cards as one, using the ALSA
pcm_multi device type. But it does not work.
Starting of one pcm_multi device with only one slave (the analog I/O of the
E-MU 1212m, works fine.
Trying the same with only the digital ins also works. Trying to put both
hw:4,0 and hw:4,2 (analog and digital) in one pcm_multi capture device doesn't
work. JACK tells me:
[...]
ALSA: no playback configurations available (Invalid argument)
ALSA: cannot configure capture channel
Cannot initialize driver
[...]
and finally fails with status of -1.
I noticed - in testing -, that when I only give one capture device and no
playback, JACK seems to assume, tat the control device is hw:0 (which in my
case is just ALSA loopback. I have to supply hw:4 or hw:4,0 as output to see a
different control device.
Question: why does ALSA or ACK want to create a playback setting for the
capture device? Is there perhaps a special key/attribute to use inside the the
multi devices? I took my setup from here:
http://www.jrigg.co.uk/linuxaudio/ice1712multi.html
My kernel version is 3.9.0-rc6 and the ALSA is shipped with the kernel.
JACKD is JACKDMP version 1.9.7. the MAudio Delta's S/PDIFF out is linked to
the E-MU's S/PDIFF in and clock source in the mixer is set to S/PDIFF. The
Delta's samplerate is 48kHz.
Any ideas? Similar problems, that got fixed, perhaps?
Warm regards
Julien

I thought the R-Pi has GPi/os. Is it not possible to use switches

Ya, Last D.A. I saw was about 1974. It was a bass, but was short scale so
the intonation was problematic. It was heavy. The owner went from that to

They look nice. How easy is it to keep them clean? Or are finger marks not
visible more than 5 feet away anyway? Says 9 pounds... I haven't weighed
any of mine...Hohner (the jack) headless - 7lbs - Rickenbacker bass - 10
lbs - squire katana bass (ex rental now fretless) 7.3 lbs So weight is not
an issue.

Certainly that bug doesn't affect the d66... if I turn my spdif input off
while clocked to it, the audio goes... well the clock speed goes way out
anyway. But, in that thread, it appears that audio is still making it
through if not in sync. It seems in this case there is not even audio.
This is what puzzles me. It seems audio can go one way but not both.
However, to test it (quoting from the above thread) "I just grabbed an old
Ubuntu 10.04 ISO which contains Alsa 1.0.22 and live booted it on my
machine. Tests show that it's working as expected with the 1010LT: It's
properly externally clocked."
This would be the Ubuntu 10.04, not ubuntustudio which was not a live ISO
back then. This means no jack while running live unless you have tons of
memory and wish to install it while running live :) But pulse should be
able to be set to the spdif i/o. I am also not sure envy24control would be
installed by default (alsa-tools-gui) but alsamixer is there. Alsamixer
can set the sync to spdif with the rate setting (96000 + one).
Should be able to see if it is possible while running that ISO to run
audio from linux - 1010lt to 9624 and back. Use the multi mixer feed the
return spdif audio to analog 1/2 outputs.

Hello everyone!
So, I've got an E-MU 1212m PCIE (PCI express) soundcard now. And it doesn't
work. so there are a few questions.
First it's mebeing blid and not familiar with PCIE slots. There are two
cards. Youcan see the product from alsa-project.org or I can give you a direct
link to the manual off-list.
So in my PC I have one full PCI express slot (a long one, almost like a PCI
slot) and I've got a short one. A friend supposed PCIE 1.
there there are two cards a big one, the one with the digital I/O, which I
slotted into the small slot and a small card (the analogue I/O and MIDI I/O),
which I slotted into the long slot. So far so good.
My lspci gives me:
[...]
03:00.0 PCI bridge: Pericom Semiconductor Device e111 (rev 02)
04:04.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB0400 Audigy2 Value
I think these two are new, I didn't recognise them and they are right at the
end of the list.
I have compile ALSA modules for everything E-MU/creative labs (10K1, 10K1X,
the dell bit and 20K2). My ALSA version is 1.0.23 and kernel version is 2.6.38
(self-compiled).
Still ALSA doesn't give any new soundcard.
The two cards are coorectly connected with the IDE-like cable, but not
screwed in. Still they look firm enough.
Any ideas? Would that be the wrong slot for the big card (the main board of
the two, I think)? Or is the ALSA driver not detecting it correctly? Should
lspci show more?
Remember, I can't see myself and the sighted people around me are so NOT
into computers, that they aren't of any help really.
Thanks for a ny good advise!
Warm regards
Julien

Hello everyone!
So I've got the e-mu 1212 soundcard working. it should have two analogue ins
and two analogue outs and then S/PDIF I/O and ADAT - i.e. 8 channels in and 8
channels out. That doesn't seem to be the case.
With a normal JACK call to hw:4 I get 2 ins, 2 outs (I suppose the analogue
part.
With JACK using the syntax given in
Kernel/Documentation/sound/alsa/emu10k1-jack.txt
using hw:4,2 and hw:4,3 I get 8 ins and 16 outs, which is 3/4 of what was to
be expected (16 ins and 16 outs).
But from what I understand from this document, these are the DSP channels,
not primarily the hardware analogue and or digital I/Os.
So does anyone have a card of that family and set it up together with JACK
to use all hardware I/O?
Warm regards
Julien
