Y-ellow All.
Sorry to have to ask but does anyone know how to get an evvy24
sound card to work in KXlinux?
On the recommendations of Nedko, I'm now trying out KXlinux. It too is
Ubuntu based so fingers crossed on that one. Except KDE and not gnome. I'm
still trying to wrap my head around the paradigm at work here but "Slow" is
one word that comes to mind. It took 3 hours to install. Well, OK, mainly
because I fell asleep while waiting for it. But every time I woke up it was
trying to shred the hard drive. 3 hours later after failing to reboot by it
self, I finally booted into something resembling a working system.
I think it was trying to download and install about 300 meg of updates or
something? It never said what it was doing, it just sat there hammering the
hard drive.
Anyway, It works. I'll get the hang of it. Actually it looks rather
interesting if a bit of a dog's breakfast. I can deal with that. But the
DSP124 sound card is nowhere to be seen. So all I hear is a tiny squeak out
of the internal speaker. I assume that the drivers weren't part of the
install and no envy24 controls. So the first thing I need to do is get
that working. Would anyone be able to walk me through obtaining these and
installing them please?
Thank you very kindly in advance.
Onward and... Well... Sideways perhaps.
Be absolutely icebox.

hi,
Envy24 drivers are part of alsa, so they are most likely installed. If
not, your system is very broken.
To get envy24control, you have to install alsa-tools-gui.
Then, it's most likely you will have to set jack up. It's a little
hard to go through all of the steps via email, but since its all
ladish based, I'd recommend you spend some time at ladish.org and in
particular http://ladish.org/wiki/tutorial, which should walk you
through the basics of getting configured and operational.

I was trying to find KXlinux on the web. Could someone post a link?
I was trying to find out whether it uses pulseaudio. From what I've
understood, Envy24 is no go with pulseaudio, right?
If KXlinux doesn't work out for you I recommend trying out puredyne 911.
http://puredyne.org/download.html
It's a live distro, so you can run it from a CD or a usb-stick, or
install it. Which ever way you want.
The rt-kernel is magnificient on that particular version. No sudden
crashes. I had no problems with getting nvidia graphics to run (needed
to be installed manually, though). It's the rt-kernel from Ubuntu
Karmic's repo.
Here is a how to create the live usb, for anyone intrested:

Right, and since KXStudio is based on Ubuntu 10.04 you'll have to hack
your way around a bit.

If kxstudio is not your thing, then pure::dyne might suit you as has
been stated. There is also a newish distro called tango studio that
looks interesting (http://tangostudio.tuxfamily.org/en/tangostudio),
and a studio distro based on puppy linux
(http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=60483) which also
looks lightweight and may suit you fine.

One more vote for Tango Studio (Karmasutra):
http://tangostudio.tuxfamily.org/en/tangostudio
Haven't tried it though but I did have some contact with its creator.
I'm very much in favor of his packaging/remastering ethos (meticulous is
the key-word). He also offers a very good performing 2.6.33 real-time
kernel for testing, I think it should still be in the Tango Studio
unstable branch.
And then there's also Dream Studio: http://dream.dickmacinnis.com/forum/
Or Apodio: http://www.apodio.org/

Thanks all for the suggestions. I'm a bit overwhelmed at the moment but
keep 'em coming if there are any more.
So far, and strangely enough, puppy is looking like a contender. Though I
haven't actually tried PureDyne yet. (long story) Although puppy doesn't
have much that is useful to me in it's repositories (That I can find thus
far anyway) it is surprisingly stable and everything worked out-the-box
without any crashes or Xruns. That's gotta be a plus.
I was interested in trying puppystudio because I had used puppy many years
ago when it was very new. For an art installation project. We ended up
switching to DamnSmall (If memory serves) which is Slack based (If memory
serves) but I'd always wanted to have reason to try puppy again. There are
things about puppy I don't like but over all, it's fast and it's serviceable.
Of course, the immediate problem for me will be getting suitable
sampler/synth/instrument software into it. So far the only thing that comes
with it is Hydrogen. And I can't see anything else in the repository lists.
Which means I'll probably have to go out on a limb to install stuff. Which
means I probably won't do it. Right now at least. I'm taking the path of
least resistance for the time being. As it were. But puppystudio is
definitely a candidate.
Thanks once again to everyone for their suggestions.
Be absolutely icebox.

Obviously its not... :-) Downloading latest release now!

KDE is not slow at all for me. I even fell KDE faster then Gnome on my
fedora 14.
Would be nice to see an Audio-oriented distro based on Arch. Arch
philosophy would suit better audio work and development, I think.

These AUR are quite good indeed, but I was talking about something
like ArchBang or Chakra, but audio-oriented.

I don't quite see much sense in that. LAUBang would be faster, maybe
easier to install but less flexible (less user choice) and constantly
out-of-date.
One thing that would be needed for it to work at all would be binary
packages of the more popular audio programs that are not in the official
repositories.
Archaudio.org tries to do exactly that, but currently hardly anyone
builds those binaries, so the archaudio.org repo is quite out-of-date.
I don't know whether it's lack of people, time, or whether there's no
interest in those binaries. I suspect it's mainly lack of interest. Many
audio packages in AUR are maintained well enough and it's easy to build
from there.
Anyway, it's easy to contribute to archaudio one way or another, and if
someone thinks it's worthwhile to create a ready-made CD there's no-one
stopping him. Arch means DIY.

And now it's even easier since we've pushed some helper scripts as
'archaudio-devtools'. Documentation will follow soon either on the
site or the wiki page. If the admin can find some time to include an
Arch chroot on the server (CentOS) to do daily builds, then we'd even
have automated, updated packages of bleeding-edge software! Anyone can
also do this locally with a cron job.
Other than that, the more popular packages should get to [community] at least.
The main reasons are (1) lack of manpower, and the only manpower
suffers from a (2) lack of time :p

The automatic building sounds nice and so does seanbutnotheards project.
I'm glad in future man-power won't be needed for tasks such as building

As for my part in the game, I'm happy if I manage to keep my AUR
packages up to date and standard.
