Re: [Rosegarden-user] Kernel 2.6.21/22 - Linux-audio-user

25 Aug 2007

Hmmm, have used nothing but ASUS mobos here for several years, and never 
had any sound problems using either on-board sound or add-on sound cards 
of various kinds (no M-Audio ones, though). They just worked, without 
any special trickery.

  Hello

  Second, I have had severe problems with hardware:
maudio 2496 + asus
 motherboards is a bad cocktail. It took a long time to realise that I
 had hardware problems!  I have maudio 2496 and asus p5b-vm. What kind of problems
did you 
 experience? I haven't had any yet, I think.  The problem is that everything
works, except that there is no output
 sound. Whether there is problems or not seems vary. My son tried two
 asus motherbords: p4s800mx se and p4s800-x. At the net he found that
 MS-addicts also had problems. But, on my asus p4s800 it works,though I
 have had problems with sound disappearing.
  The only problem I have is that the 'Multi
Track Rate Locking' goes on 
 with every boot/suspend-resume, so I'll have to manually unlock it (and 
 somehow 'alsactl store' does not help). So could this have something to do 
 with asus mobo?  
 I think so, eventually I have made it work on my pc. I can't tell you
 how, but I messed around with sound drivers.

  Jackd,zyn,rose,ardour - all working just fine
under kubuntu Feisty 
 (without the Ingo's kernel patch) and for my realtime needs, I've used the 
 realtime-lsm package and installed it with module-assistant. There is a 
 document lying somewhere in the internet about how to do this.

 My frustration has been mainly concentrated on MIDI timing. And it relates 
 to Richard's frustration on xruns; Why is it not possible to play the 
 notes on correct time even when the program already knows exactly when the 
 notes should be played.  
 What is the latency?

 But, I haven't really worked with midi. I am going to. It works fine on
 my laptop. On my pc, I can record midi, but I can't add sounds. For
 instance, I can't open the "synth editor" so I can load sound files. Do
 you have an idea of what is wrong?
