 Posted: Sat Nov 20, 2004 7:57 pm Post subject: Bass / Treble support for Audigy2 [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Hi, I have just emerged 2004.3 (quite happy with it, especially gnome 2.8  ) and I would like some help setting up my audigy2. In gnome, the treble and bass support is there, but adjusting those specific sliders have no effect on the sound output. I have compiled alsa into the kernel (2.6.7.somethingOrOther) and I have also included oss support. My modules look like this... | Code: | Module Size Used by
snd_pcm_oss 49192 0
snd_mixer_oss 17920 3 snd_pcm_oss
via_rhine 18440 0
snd_emu10k1 93064 2
snd_rawmidi 21028 1 snd_emu10k1
snd_pcm 87556 2 snd_pcm_oss,snd_emu10k1

I would say to emerge alsa-utils and play around in alsamixer.

Do you have unmuted/activated "tone"? I have a SB Live! and in gnome-alsamix I have a checkbox to enable tone. I need it set to adjust bass and treble.

Thanks for your help. When I run alsamixer, I get | Code: | mr98ai@localhost mr98ai $ alsamixer
alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory
|
and running gnome-alsamixer I see just an empty form. Clicking on File -> Properties will crash the app every time.
Another odd thing is that xmms will only play when I use the oss output. If I try eSound or Alsa, xmms complains "please check that your sound card is configured correctly" or something like that. That's not right is it, I mean I am in gnome, esd is running, and I can't use the eSound option, or even alsa?? |

Sounds like a kernel problem. In your kernel under device driver --> sound, you need to have sound card support in your kernel, then under Open Sound System you have have nothing. Under alsa you should have alsa, sequencer support, oss emulation and oss pcm. Then under pci devices you have have the audigy (EMU10K1) option and nothing else. Make sure that your configuration looks like this.

Ok, I followed BWoso's kernel instructions and recompiled. I also followed these http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml instructions, but loading xmms, I get this message when configuring xmms to use alsa:
| Code: | ** WARNING **: alsa_get_mixer(): Attaching to mixer hw:0 failed: No such file or directory
|
and this message when I use esound: | Code: |
audio_alsa: no cards found!
audio_alsa: no cards found!
|
My alsa modules.d file look like this:
| Code: | # Alsa 0.9.X kernel modules' configuration file.
# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/media-sound/alsa-utils/files/alsa-modules.conf-rc,v 1.4 2004/11/16 01:31:22 eradicator Exp $
# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
##
## IMPORTANT:
## You need to customise this section for your specific sound card(s)
## and then run `update-modules' command.
## Read alsa-driver's INSTALL file in /usr/share/doc for more info.
##
## ALSA portion
## alias snd-card-0 snd-interwave
## alias snd-card-1 snd-ens1371
## OSS/Free portion
## alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0

##
alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
# The following is only needed when you want OSS compatibility
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss
alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss
# OSS/Free portion - card #1

alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss

## OSS/Free portion - card #2

## alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss

alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss
# Set this to the correct number of cards.
options snd cards_limit=1

Any advice? |

Should not that be | Code: | ## ALSA portion
alias snd-card-0 snd-EMU10K1 |
?

Yes, it should be, but that was just a comment. Farther down below I have the correct line uncommented. |

Just as an update, my /var/log/everything/current file says this... | Code: | | No mixer config in /etc/asound.state, you have to unmute your card! |
Might this be part of my problem? |

| My problem was fixed by adding udev support to the kernel; Alsa could then see the devices properly. |
