    <title>Novation XStation 25 - alsamixer error - cannot load mixer controls: Invalid argument - ignore_ctl_error causes instability</title>
    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.alsa.user/36354</link>
    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Hi all,

I am running Kubuntu 12.04 with the 3.2.0.23 lowlatency kernel. I have
installed Kxstudio and am using my XStation 25 rather successfully with
jackdbus. I have disabled pulseaudio on kde and am routing everything via
jack and using the pulseaudio bridge for applications like skype which seem
to need it.

Now I am trying to use a master mixer for jack to control my hardware
channels, so as a result settled on Kmix (started as env
KMIX_PULSEAUDIO_DISABLE=1  kmix to disable pulse and to show alsa channels).

However I noted that while my onboard sound card showed up, the Xstation
didn't. So i did

sudo lsusb -v

Output here:
http://pastebin.com/3TCxYz8d

aplay -L - Output here:

http://pastebin.com/afgf9LtR


Key thing to note in the output of aplay was:



card 3: XStation [XStation], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]


  Subdevices: 0/1


  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

The Subdevices show 0/1 AFTER I boot into kde (it shows 1/1 immediately on
boot prior to logging into kde prior to jackdbus/pulseaudio kicking
in...however other cards remain 1/1)

http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1126128.html

when i do

mendred&amp;lt; at &amp;gt;dantooine:~$ alsamixer -c3
cannot load mixer controls: Invalid argument

So I tweaked around with my /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and added
ignore_ctl_error=1 to the snd-usb-audio module

options snd-usb-audio index=-2 ignore_ctl_error=1 nrpacks=1

and then after restarting (Strangely sudo alsa force-reload didnt get it to
work, i needed to restart the comp)
alsamixer -c3

brought up the XStation mixer and it was visible on kmix as well

However, the volumes could either be set at 0 or at 100 and nothing in
between and it didnt seem that the XStation responded to the software mixer
(e.g. muting it didnt mute anything for e.g.). Also the system became
unstable and froze repeatedly, so I have turned back ignore_ctl_error=0

The wierd thing is that XStation works fine under  both pulseaudio using
pavu control and jack.

I am assuming that this is some issue with the driver that deals with the
mixer part? Any help on working around this to get a working alsa mixer
would be appreciated!

Thanks!

    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Hi.

I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 i386 with kernel 2.6.38-15-generic-pae to
record some audio with arecord.

I'm getting this strange error when I try to record from my FM tuner
card from device hw1,0:

root&amp;lt; at &amp;gt;dvr-test:/home/dvr/dvr# arecord -f cd -D hw:1,0 -d 20 test.wav
Registrazione in corso WAVE 'test.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian,
Frequenza 44100 Hz, Stereo
Attenzione: il campionamento non è accurato (richiesto=44100Hz,
ottenuto=32000Hz)
         provare il plugin plug
arecord: pcm_read:1773: read error: Input/output error

And the test.wav file is empty, of course.

I tried to upgrade to Ubuntu 12.04 also, but I get the same error.
I tried to change my FM tuner PCI card, but I didn't solve the problem.

I googled a lot but I didn't find any solution for my problem.

Here you can find my ALSA info:
http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=cfc2632071342f2b0373c3a484fa04b19acf0958

Could you help me, please?

Thank you very much!
Bye.

    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Hi,

I have a Macbook Pro 1.2 .With ubuntu 12.04, the sound works, but when I
plug in headphones, I have sound both in headphones and internal speakers.

I tried to add "options snd-hda-intel model=macbook-pro-v1" at the end
of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

But it is not working better.
The soundcard on that laptop is a SigmaTel STAC9221 A1

Is there something else I can try to get the sound working correctly?

Thank you

    <title>emu10k1 (Audigy) FXBus routing query</title>
    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.alsa.user/36340</link>
    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Dear all,

I am writing to ask how to route certain DSP 'outputs' from my Audigy 2 ZS
back into the equivalent 'ASIO inputs' for recording purposes.

Specifically, I'd like to route outputs from the Wavetable Synths on my
card to inputs that would go straight into a DAW (such as Ardour), so that
I can apply effects, record and mix-down as if they were external synth
signals.

I know that with the kX project drivers in Windows this is possible, by
routing the Synth outputs to FXBus outputs 16-63, leaving the ASIO inputs
as 0-15 for the audio input, and then patching which channels I require
from the Synth to those inputs (e.g. Synth Channel 1 -&amp;gt; FXBus out 16&amp;amp;17 -&amp;gt;
FXBus in 0&amp;amp;1).

After reading a thread that contained responses from Jaroslav, I believe
the answer is in emufx.c, but I'm unsure as to where to start as I need to
assign the outputs from the Synths correctly first.

Thanks in advance! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Kind Regards,

Dan

    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.alsa.user/36338</link>
    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Hello,

i'm searching for a way to create a permanent audio device with the
snd-usb-audio and a USB microphone.

The device should be already there and working and after plugging in
the USB device it should be avaialble through that device.

Example: /dev/pcm is already there and i can stream from it and after
i plugged in the USB device this should be available through that
device. After unplugging it it should be still there. Like a mixer.

Thanks

    <title>HDMI audio on NVIDIA trims the first second off thestream</title>
    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.alsa.user/36333</link>
    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Hi Linux sound driver maintainers and authors,

we have a little(?) problem that we discovered while experimenting
with HDMI audio output on a Zotac ZBOX with NVIDIA ION GT218.
We are using the embedded Angstrom distribution with kernel
version 2.6.38.4 and NVIDIA proprietary driver version 260.19.21.

Both the mainboard audio controller and the HDMI audio are
driven by the in-kernel snd-hda-intel. lspci output is:

00:00.0 Class 0600: 8086:a000
00:1b.0 Class 0403: 8086:27d8
00:1c.0 Class 0604: 8086:27d0
00:1c.1 Class 0604: 8086:27d2
00:1c.2 Class 0604: 8086:27d4
00:1d.0 Class 0c03: 8086:27c8
00:1d.1 Class 0c03: 8086:27c9
00:1d.2 Class 0c03: 8086:27ca
00:1d.3 Class 0c03: 8086:27cb
00:1d.7 Class 0c03: 8086:27cc
00:1e.0 Class 0604: 8086:2448
00:1f.0 Class 0601: 8086:27bc
00:1f.2 Class 0101: 8086:27c0
00:1f.3 Class 0c05: 8086:27da
01:00.0 Class 0c03: 1106:3432
02:00.0 Class 0280: 168c:002b
03:00.0 Class 0300: 10de:0a64
03:00.1 Class 0403: 10de:0be3
04:0b.0 Class 0200: 10ec:8167

Relevant parts (decoded by http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/):

8086:27d8 Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller
10de:0a64 nVidia Corporation GT218 [ION]
10de:0be3 nVidia Corporation High Definition Audio Controller

The problem is that when the audio stream starts, the first one or
two seconds are not audible, it's trimmed from the stream.

I have found a few available test samples that show the problem
at http://www.audiocheck.net/

The longer mono sample at
     http://www.audiocheck.net/Audio/audiocheck.net_welcome2.wav
need to be converted to stereo before being playable on the HDMI output:

sox audiocheck.net_welcome2.wav -c 2 audiocheck.net_welcome-stereo.wav

When played with
     aplay -D hw:1,7 audiocheck.net_welcome-stereo.wav
the "Welcome to" words at the very beginning are not audible.

The next two samples at
     http://www.audiocheck.net/Audio/audiocheck.net_L.wav
     http://www.audiocheck.net/Audio/audiocheck.net_R.wav
are shorter than 2 seconds and are not audible at all when played.

When played with "aplay -D hw:0,0" over the mainboard device,
all samples are OK.

Does anyone know whether it's a known problem or maybe an
already fixed one?

I don't think it's TV-dependent as this problem can be reproduced
on two or three different TV models.

Thanks in advance,
Zoltán Böszörményi

    <description>&lt;pre&gt; I need some help configuring my asound.conf.  I want to combine 
 multiple capture devices into one.  I saw 'dsnoop' but that seems to 
 make it so that multiple programs can read from the same sound device.  
 I want to do the opposite.  I want one program to read from multiple

 for capture?  Is it the same plugin?

    <title>asoundrc to reduce output volume</title>
    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.alsa.user/36330</link>
    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Hi all,
 
I am having a problem that whenever I startup skype, it is much much louder than my other applications and it almost deafens me. Skype on linux does not have its own volume control; so I was wondering if there were a simple way to use my asoundrc to create a virtual output device or plugin where the volume is reduced by like 50%, and then configure skype to play through that device?
 
I have played with my asoundrc a decent amount in the past, but I never feel like I understand exactly what I am doing.

Thanks in advance,

    <title>Mystery screeching signal in all 8 inputs in envy24control</title>
    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.alsa.user/36329</link>
    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Please help!

There is a loud, high-pitched constant signal peaking out all 8 inputs of
my m-audio interface, even when the interface is turned off. (In other
words, seems to be a software problem). I can see the signals peaking in
red at top of meters in envy24control. If I use envy24control to route
those inputs to my stereo output, or if I try to record using ardour/jack,
All I get is that annoying shrieking signal, which is extremely loud (ie,
not just a little noise). It seems like there's a logical feedback loop or
something is incorrectly routed to those inputs in alsa, pulseaudio etc.
It's made my studio completely unusuable [image: :(]

I have checked alsa &amp;amp; pulseaudio settings using alsa mixer, kmixer,
paprefs, etc, but don't see anything wrong.... But I am not an expert and
may easily have missed something.

alsa-info posted here:

http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=ebddc1d574175bb3529e5411f70d1969d4c6437a

I am using Fedora15, KDE4 (with phonon), alsa &amp;amp; pulseaudio. It all worked
fine until recently. No idea what triggered the change.

Any help much appreciated. Thank you!

Jeremy

PS I have the same problem when I logged in using Gnome, instead of KDE4.
So I doubt it is because of KDE... but I am not certain.

    <title>Muting or unmuting by default?</title>
    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.alsa.user/36328</link>
    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Hi there,

I have an eMachines 1401 nettop mini-desktop PC. It has a low-power AMD64 dual-core CPU and an onboard nVidia Geforce 9200 GPU. In order for the sound to work the nVidia binary drivers must be loaded. My distro is Gentoo; I have versions c 1.0.25 of alsa-lib, -headers and -tools installed.

   # aplay -l                                                               
   **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
   card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 0: ALC662 rev1 Analog [ALC662 rev1 Analog]
     Subdevices: 1/1
     Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
   card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 1: ALC662 rev1 Digital [ALC662 rev1 Digital]

   card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
     Subdevices: 1/1
     Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
   # 

The analogue headphone socket is selected by default. If I run `aplay -vvD file.wav` then the audio plays to the headphone socket. 

To play to the TV via HDMI, not only must I run `aplay -vvD plug:hdmi file.wav`, but then I must run `amixer sset 'IEC958',1 unmute` (or, alternatively, unmute this channel manually using alsamixer, where it is marked "S/PDIF 1").

I want to play to the TV by HDMI by default.

I find that I can select this output with the following /etc/asound.conf:

   # cat /etc/asound.conf 
   pcm.!default {
        type hw
        card 0
        device 3
   }
   #

Now next time I reboot my computer `aplay -vvD file.wav` plays to the TV by default. However I must still manually unmute the "S/PDIF 1" channel before the music is actually audible.

Is it possible to configure a muting / unmuting default for a channel in /etc/asound.conf, please?

I understand that I can store the current state - including muting - with `alsactl -f file store` and then `alsactl -f file restore` on next boot-up. My disto provides an init.d script for this purpose, but I would prefer not to do things that way.

I would prefer to set the default by /etc/asound.conf or similar, I guess), rather than saving a state. I hope this distinction makes sense, and I am not alone in perceiving it.

Thanks for reading, and thanks in advance for any help you can offer,

Stroller.

Does anybody know whether these are supported by ALSA, what chip(s) are used, etc. ? I interested in "Line In" (capture) support.

Thanks,

    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Hi all!

In the previous distro in AlsaMixer (v.1.0.22), under recording i had
"Capture" and "Input Source". From input source i selected front mic
(external audio jack) or ATAPI mic (computer internal mic).
Now installed latest Ubuntu, in Alsamixer (v.1.0.25) under recording i
have: "Mic Boost", "Capture" and "Internal Mic Boost".
I think this change is from Alsa not Ubuntu?

External jack works, but how do i select the mic from computer?

Card: HDA NVidia
Chip: Realtek ALC861-VD
Comp: HP Pavilion tx1000

Regards, J.

    <title>Unrecognized audio interface: Boss GT-100</title>
    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.alsa.user/36297</link>
    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Hello,

Just purchased the Boss (Roland) GT-100 guitar processor.  This is a
new model released in the last few weeks, and it can function as a USB
audio interface (it is the successor to the Boss GT-10, which I think
support has been added for).  I am running Linux Mint 12.  When I
connect the device, it is not recognized as an audio interface (not
seen in the output of aplay -l).

I have never done any alsa tweaking before, but maybe it is just a
matter of adding a new section to the quirks file and recompiling
alsa?  I would like to try and get this device to work, if someone
could provide some guidance.  I am attaching the output from sudo
lsusb -v.

Thanks,
John

    <title>No sound on Quanta KN1 starting with kernel 3.4</title>
    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.alsa.user/36294</link>
    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Hi,

codec is Realtek ALC260, lscpi -vnn shows:

00:1b.0 Audio device [0403]: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6
Family) High Definition Audio Controller [8086:2668] (rev 04)
Subsystem: QUANTA Computer Inc Device [152d:0729]
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 44
Memory at c0000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2
Capabilities: [60] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+
Capabilities: [70] Express Root Complex Integrated Endpoint, MSI 00
Capabilities: [100] Virtual Channel
Capabilities: [130] Root Complex Link
Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel


Previous kernels had a static quirk

SND_PCI_QUIRK(0x152d, 0x0729, "CTL U553W", ALC260_BASIC),

which did the trick, but static quirks were removed in kernel 3.4. Just tell
what other info I should provide that'll help solve this and I'll provide it.

Regards,
Uroš

    <title>Playing audio with ALSA api(newbie)</title>
    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.alsa.user/36282</link>
    <description>&lt;pre&gt;I'm new to ALSA. I made a program that plays a file, pure sound. The
problem is that every time I write, apparently repeats a part of the previous
sound. I know that the program gives segmentation fault, that the moment is
not a problem. This occurs after the song finishes playing. I send the
source code as an attachment. When the amount of sound that I play every
moment is smaller, the sound is very bad.

    <description>&lt;pre&gt;I have multiple codecs attached to my processor and I want to copy the  
data from user space through ALSA into both a hw0 and a hw1.  Possible?
