Hi, I just got hold of an SBLive5.1 Digital. I can only get Synth sound my
selecting the Synth capture, then routing alsa_capture to alsa_playback, but
this means I can't use the line in for recording. The 'Music' slider is
missing from all the the mixer interfaces. I also have'nt got a clue about
all the routing options or effects routing options. Aynone got a good URL ?
It /proc and sfxload report 128Mb available for SoundFonts (Specs say 32Mb),
and it works. Did they change the specs or somthing ?
Cheers,
Bruce.

If you use latest alsa and let jack start with device hw:0,2(?) for
playback, how many channels do you see? If you use hw:0,3 for record
you will see the same count input-channels. Now plug a meterbridge
into them and let your music play. Could be you get the signal of the
synth on one of these channels. I will check myself when I am home and
report tomorrow..

There is a project (lo10k1?) which tries to do some routing and
effects. But you can get all this in software through jack...

The soundfonts are stored in your ram. If you load a 500MB soundfont
while having only 256MB you will see if I am right with this
statement...
Its late, going home now,

Wenn man mit Raubkopien Bands wie Brosis oder Britney Spears wirklich
verhindern könnte, würde ich mir noch heute einen Stapel Brenner und
einen Sack Rohlinge kaufen.

I see 16 channels in, 16 out. My guitar comes quitely out of one of them
(line in), can't find the synth, has anyone got a list ?

Thanks, I'll have a good look at it today.

It would be nice if was even more than 128Mb, My main font is 320Mb.

We renamed the playback control to "Synth". "Music" was a terrible
name.

They don't exist. The Linux driver for this card does not support
hardware chorus and reverb sends on the wavetable synth like on Windows.

IIRC the 32MB limit is a Windows kernel limitation.
And don't use sfxload, it's an OSS program. Use asfxload.

In gamix, I get two sliders under Synth, one Capture : sliders and a switch,
the other unlabled, no switch : presumably the Synth volume, but I still get
no sound that way.

That's a shame, is the reverb any good ?

I guess I'm pushing my luck but any chance of getting more than 128Mb ? my
main font is 320Mb

Use asfxload.
Thanks, I'll have a look at that today.
