hi,
i've just got a m-audio quattro (very nice :) and have alsa running
happily... but i'm having trouble starting the alsamixer.
i've copied in Patrick Shirkey's scripts for .asoundrc and qinit, but
when i run qinit it segfaults :(... alsamixer says 'no mixer elems
found' and when i run gnome-alsamixer i just get a blank screen with
'USB Audio Quattro' at the top. i'm getting sound fine out of
applications such as xmms though... although SpiralLoops crashes and/or
produces digital glitch noise when i import a sound....
any ideas?
thanks in advance
m

Are you using cvs or 0.9rc3? Can you send the output of qinit? BTW I
didn't write it. Takashi whipped it up for me while we were testing and
it has become part of my startup scripts so I thought it would be useful
for other users too.
Apart from that the quattro has no mixer elems. The only way you can
adjust the volume is using the output level buttons on the box or using
software mixing like in ardour, alsaplayer, xmms (equilisation). You
should be using an analog mixer with it if you want to record at
sufficient volumes.

hi
im using 0.9rc3 - should i upgrade to cvs?
all that qinit says is "Segmentation fault" - can check dmesg /
/var/log/messages etc. tho if you need...
thanks, yes its a useful script... ahh, i see, if it has no mixer elems
that would explain the message from alsamixer, i was worried i'd done
something wrong in the config. volume adjusts fine with alsaplayer but
xmms plays *very* loud... like i have it on about 1% and its already
booming... i do use an analog mixer at home but when im out n about with
the laptop i tend to just use cans (except for performance of course)...
thanx

Try the output level button on the box. By my estimations it
increases/decreases the volume by about 50%.
I use xmms routinely and have no problem with excessive noise.
i do use an analog mixer at home but when im out n

I wouldn't even try to use it without an external mixer. I have to say
that in terms of features I didn't exactly get what I wanted but the
sound quality is excellent afaict.
thanx
