Ok, but can't record 24bit from DAB radio and play my ac3 movies

Which is what I bought the card for ....

But hey, I'm sure the dev people at alsa will get there soon :wink:

I hope u know how to beg on your knees

Audiocards are long timers, there isn't much place for improvements on audio for the next years. So good audiocard is always good investment.

Haven't had alsa installed, as it doesn't support my EX, but wouldn't expect it to work well with the emu10k1-cvs drivers.

I would try removing ALSA, installing emu10k1-cvs

You need the kernel setup as directed in the emu10k1-cvs ebuild, from memory you just enable sound support and you don't select any drivers in the kernel config ... it modprobes the driver automatically on boot .

Okay i've tried using both tenpins drivers and the emu10k1-cvs drivers and i seem to be getting the same result..
If i plug my headphones in to the headphones port on my Audigy 2 EX Box i get sound.. but nothing comes through the speakers..
Also when i play with the volume controls in kmix they do nothing

Anybody got any ideas because this is really bugging me now!

this is what i get when i type emu-config -I

Driver version: 0.20
mixer interface version: 2
Card type: Audigy

Output Status:

hmm if i play with the "PCM" control in kmix i can alter the volume of whats coming through my headphones

I was beginning to dispair, when emu10k1-cvs wouldn't compile with gcc3.3.1r1

& after trying 2.6 test3 with no luck with alsa recognising my audigy2 Plat EX

So I had no sound!

But, some GOOD news!!

Today I tried kernel 2.6 test 5 mm2 and it recognises my card and sound works out of the box!!!!!

Just thought I'd share the good news ..

Some quick testing, the optical out works, but doesn't pass through ac3, rather seems to convert it to stereo ...

At least I have sound again now!

cheers

Well I think I can help you out there.

The config file (modules aliases and options) is at /etc/modules.d/alsa.
Everytime you modify this file you must run 'modules-update'.

You can find all the known options here.

Thing is they talk about the Audigy 2 Platinum, but not the Ex. I've tried everything I could think of, but maybe I overlooked something.
Good luck.

Thanks, thats saved me some time

I saw the options in the INSTALL file, but couldn't find how and where to put them! That thread gives me some details which look helpful though.

I'll let you know how I get on ....

fine, the emu10k1-cvs works great with my Audigy2, i've sound out of 5 boxes (is there no support for 6.1?)
okay, now i've an Audigy2 working under Linux, but how can i get 3D Sound out of games (for example UT2003-(Demo)), if i set the Sound Device to 3D Sound-Hardware EAX, nothing happen (i know badly;) )

Have UT2003 3D Sound at all (i'man real 3D Sound, just ike Vietcong or Warcraft3 under W*nd**s)

i've got the good old 2.4.20 Kernel

As far as I know, EAX doesn't work in Linux (at least not with the current drivers).

iDeJ · Posted: Fri Sep 19, 2003 3:45 pm Post subject:

and Surround Sound in Games?
(and if EAX does not work, why is there an option in the nativ Linux Version of UT?)

Miguel · Tux's lil' helper Joined: 21 Aug 2002 Posts: 118

Don't know about surround.
As for the option beeing there... Maybe they just ported the entire UI and left all options (even those that don't work :p)...

I have been on half a dozen threads or more tyring to get the Audigy 2 up and running, to no avail. Neither emerging emu10k1-cvs from portage or following tenpin's scripts seems to have worked, nor has alsa.

running modprobe emu10k1, I get:

Which kernel are you using? 2.4.x or 2.6.x?

Which Audigy card is it? Standard or Plat Ex?
