 Posted: Mon Aug 27, 2007 10:05 am Post subject: xbox Audio - No Master / PCM in Alsa |
 |
|
Hello, I have Gentoo installed on xbox and I am having problems with the intel8x0 module. The details are below.
Basically, alsa does not generate a master or PCM control most times it gets loaded. Occasionally I have managed to get a PCM control to appear, but I can't see what the sequence is to get it to appear. I am not sure what the right behaviour is with xbox gentoo and this driver, so it would be great if someone could post what they have for the following for comparison. I am loading the module with the xbox=1 parameter.
Even when I get the PCM to appear, I am using myth, and tell it to use "ALSA:default" for audio output, and "default" for mixer, and PCM for mixer control, and it reports that it cannot find a master control - with no sound.
Interestingly, speaker-test does produce sound from "default".
Thanks for any help,
Paul

I've never personally installed linux on an xbox (though I might be soon). Not sure if you've seen this site or not. http://gentoo-wiki.com/Gentoo_for_Xbox
I do however, have the intel8x0 module loaded on my laptop and had to setup the ~/.asoundrc file before anything would work. The modules loaded look almost identical to mine from what I can recall. I'm at work right now, but I'll check my laptop when I get home. |

It would be great to see your .asoundrc. I may have gotten things working by using the softvol plugin as described at the mythtv wiki:
http://mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Xbox_Sound
I had tried this before, but without realising the gentoo xbox profile doesn't include anything for alsa, and so the softvol plugin didn't emerge.
I have seen that site, it is the one I used to get gentoo up and running.
Cheers,
Paul |

Here is my .asoundrc file. Sorry it wasn't sooner, I've been trying to get a new job, and things have been hectic to say the least!
| Code: |
pcm.dsp0 {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmix"
}
ctl.mixer0 {
type hw
card 0
}
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmix"
}
|
This is the code that enables sound mixing, but my sound would not work at all until this was present. |
