 |
|
I have two sound cards:
| Code: |
$ cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [SB ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI SB
HDA ATI SB at 0xf9ff4000 irq 16
1 [M2496 ]: ICE1712 - M Audio Audiophile 24/96
M Audio Audiophile 24/96 at 0xe800, irq 21
$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 0: ALC888 Analog [ALC888 Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 1: ALC888 Digital [ALC888 Digital]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: M2496 [M Audio Audiophile 24/96], device 0: ICE1712 multi [ICE1712 multi]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
|
I'm trying to get M2496 to be the primary card and integrated SB the secondary. If possible both card should just output the same thing and audio input should be from the SB. I don't use digital connections from the computer right now.
Right now I get sound from the SB but not from the M2496. I'm not sure if the audio goes to the digital out though because I have no way of testing that.
So,
| Code: |
mplayer -ao alsa:device=hw=0.0 audio.wav
|
outputs sound from the SB but
| Code: |
mplayer -ao alsa:device=hw=0.1 audio.wav
|
seems to play but I can't hear anything. Other choices just won't even play.
I have set the volume levels as full as possible from the "$ alsamixer -c 0" and "$ alsamixer -c 1" and unmuted all options.

So, the M2496 should be the primary card but it isn't for some reason.
I have updated to the baselayout 2 so, I'm not sure if the options for the cards should be in /etc/conf.d/modules. It seems that the "/etc/init.d/alsasound restart" reacts to the problems in /etc/modprobe.conf and /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf.
Where do I go wrong? |

try to setup your M-Audio with alsaconf. After you get it work add your SB to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf
This is my one. I have three sound cards:
| Code: |
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
alias snd-card-1 snd-usb-audio
alias sound-slot-1 snd-usb-audio
alias snd-card-2 snd-usb-audio
alias sound-slot-2 snd-usb-audio
options snd-hda-intel index=0
# 1 - terratec aureon 5.1
# 2 - gembird headset
options snd-usb-audio index=1,2 vid=0x0ccd,0x0d8c pid=0x0028,0x000c async_unlink=1
|
And then you can easely get your output duplicated using only alsa.
find "Plugin: Multiple streams to One" in http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/alsa-lib/pcm_plugins.html or google something like "asound.rc type multi"

Okay.
Tried the alsaconf after removing all audio related options from the files. In file /etc/conf.d/modules I left only modules_2_6="snd-ice1712". Still I get the same thing from "cat /proc/asound/cards " and "aplay -l" after reboot.
So, I get sound from:
aplay -c 2 -N -v --device=default:CARD=SB /usr/lib64/openoffice/basis3.0/share/gallery/sounds/roll.wav
But only silence from:
aplay -c 2 -N -v --device=default:CARD=M2496 /usr/lib64/openoffice/basis3.0/share/gallery/sounds/roll.wav
Should this really go to the analog out?
Same thing after alsaconf.

Argh...
A critical audio control was muted under Capture.
Anyway thanks!
I shall continue from your help |

So, now I get sound from:
$ aplay -D default:CARD=M2496 test.vaw
but instead:
$ mplayer -ao alsa:device=hw=0.1 audio.wav
gives only silence.
and no matter what I do
$ mplayer -ao alsa:device=hw=0.0 audio.wav
plays from integrated card
Where can I find what exactly is this default:CARD=M2496 and how to access it from the hw= option?
Should I build the audio devices in kernels or as modules? |

This wont even play.
I actually have tested all hw=[0-20].[0-20] and only ones that start playing somewhere are 0.0 and 0.1.
Right now the Alsa drivers are build to the kernel but I think I'm going to try to build them as a module.
The M2496 card has two analog connectors (two right and two left), two digital connectors and two midi connectors but why then aplay -L says that there is a surround system for that card?
It seems that /etc/modules.conf, /etc/modprobe.conf, /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf and /etc/modules.d/alsa won't have any effect on the system. |

It seems that there is no difference now that I build sound systems as a module. Still I get the integrated card loaded for first card no matter what and /etc/modules.conf, /etc/modprobe.conf, /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf and /etc/modules.d/alsa files can only give me error. There is no change no matter how I change them on my own or with alsaconf.
I tried installing audacity and see what I can do with it. It sees that there actually is M2496 in hw:1,0 and it works from there.
So, I tried looking mplayer output more carefully with hw:1,0:

I think that was not it either... 
Thank you.
Any idea would now help right now. 
I'm trying to compile my hole system right now with -j2 and see if it has any help. Before my system was compiled with -j5. |

Dheath, I didn't read through the whole thread, but I guess your config files use the wrong syntax. This may have changed recently. Instead of "options snd-ice1712 snd_index=0", I'd rather use "options card-ice1712 index=0". Further, you need the "slots..." option for determining your default card.
This is my /etc/modprobe.d/alsa file: | Code: | # Alsa kernel modules' configuration file.
### Number of cards
options snd cards-limit=2 slots=snd-ice1712
### M-Audio Audiophile 2496
options card-ice1712 index=0
### SoundBlaster Live
options card-emu10k1 index=1 |
I'd suggest to remove any "option" lines in all the other files (etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf and so on), since modprobe.d/alsa is the relevant file. Don't forget to run update-modules when you're done with editing.
Have a good day.

Are you sure about that? Today my emerge of alsa-utils bailed out because there was still a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa ... the error message was | Code: | * Obsolete config /etc/modprobe.d/alsa found.
*
* ERROR: media-sound/alsa-utils-1.0.20-r4 failed.
* Call stack:
* ebuild.sh, line 49: Called pkg_setup
* alsa-utils-1.0.20-r4.ebuild, line 39: Called die
* The specific snippet of code:
* die "Move /etc/modprobe.d/alsa to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf."
* The die message:
* Move /etc/modprobe.d/alsa to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf.

The nice day may be yours

@swimmer: Thanks for the hint. It works with alsa-utils-1.0.19-r2 (current stable x86). Anyhow, adding those three lines to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf and removing /etc/modprobe.d/alsa won't do any harm either.
Cheers

I have everything written to this post.
Right now I have:
Alsa is build as modules.
Module names are: snd_ice1712 and snd_hda_intel
/etc/conf.d/modules:
| Code: |
modules_2_6="snd-ice1712"
|
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf:
| Code: |
# Alsa kernel modules' configuration file.
# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
#alias snd-card-0 snd-ice1712 # if this is set I will get two "Loading: snd-card-0..." when doing /etc/init.d/alsasound restart
alias sound-slot-0 snd-ice1712
#alias snd-card-1 snd-hda-intel # if this is set I will get two "Loading: snd-card-1..." when doing /etc/init.d/alsasound restart
alias sound-slot-1 snd-hda-intel
# Alsa kernel modules' configuration file.
### Number of cards
options snd cards-limit=2 slots=snd-ice1712
### M-Audio Audiophile 2496
options card-ice1712 index=0
### SoundBlaster Live
options card-hda-intel index=1
alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss
alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss
|
I have removed everything related to snd from other files after I edited this file.

Despite all this the "hw:0,0" is integrated Intel card and "hw:1,0" is ice1712.
"hw:0,1" is something related with integrated Intel card but I don't know how.
According to Audacity I have:
| Code: |
ALSA: HDA ATI SB: ALC888 Digital (hw:0,1)
ALSA: M Audio Audiophile 24/96 ICE1712 multi (hw:1,0)
ALSA: iec 958
ALSA: spdif
ALSA: default
ALSA: dmix
OSS: /dev/dsp1

Pointing out any minor thing that is wrong will help! |

Now it is working. Thank you for the help!
I put the my alsa.conf according to swimmer.
Found something on s16le issue from here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/204809
Changed /etc/pulse/default.pa
| Code: |
# load-module module-hal-detect
load-module module-alsa-sink sink_name=dmx_out device=hw:0 channels=10 channel_map=left,right,aux0,aux1,aux2,aux3,aux4,aux5,aux6,aux7
load-module module-alsa-source source_name=dmx_in device=hw:0 channels=12 channel_map=left,right,aux0,aux1,aux2,aux3,aux4,aux5,aux6,aux7,aux8,aux9
.else
# load-module module-detect
|
Finally started pulse audio without errors.
Seems that automatic module detection is the issue here.
I just wonder if this is worth a bug report or is it just me. |
