trying to compile and run alsa--AGAIN!

trying to compile and run alsa--AGAIN!

[Cheryl Homiak]

I'm only doing this to get on the reflector; was quite happy with oss, but it
doesn't work with the reflector.
Using 0.9.0beta12; when I tried anything in the 0.5 series I got all these
deparacation warnings and then it didn't compile anyway; won't go into that
since i'm using this version anyway, unless somebody thinks it will shed light
on the problem.
Am using kernel 2.4.18 and sblive.
Actually got the cd to work.
However, nothing else.
If I run "play" or anything with trplayer or ogg, I get "no such device" for
/dev/audio and /dev/dsp and oss, depending on the application I am using.
there are a zillion mixer settings, so maybe there's one I don't have on or
unmuted.
Please, please, not meaning to be irritable, but don't anybody ask me if I ran
./snddevices when I compiled; I know it's a logical question, but last time I
tried this I got asked that by at least a half dozen people. I really did run it
and I even checked to make sure it ran okay.
I'll continue to play with mixer channels to see if I stumble across anything.
Suggestions, please.
Thanks.

cd burner

[randy turner]

hi all
i baught a new cd burner.
it hooks up to the usb port.
somehow i am missing a driver that i should have loaded.
the cd writer is the omega usb 4x4x6
it comes up and sees the cd writer but it tells me that i need another
driver.
thanks in advance
randy

Re: cd burner

[Igor Gueths]

Hi Randy. I assume you have usb support in your kernel? I'll check usb on
the kernelconfig, and see what types of devices I see support for. I
haven't heard about Cd burners, (usb ones), working with Linux. I've heard
about the ones that work on the parallel port, and I assume that they use
the paride driver.

Gates go to hell, your OS is waiting for you there!

Re: cd burner

[randy turner]

hi igor,
i found on the web where it was supported,
the person who wrote the article just did not give enough instructions on
it.
i see a lot of info about usb iomega drives beeing supported in linux
but i can't find what drivers i need to load to make it work.
thanks in advance

re: alsa

[Tyler Spivey]

you can do an alsactl restore in your .profile, in  a boot script,
or almost anywhere that executes on boot or log in.
the static might mean that your volume and pcm are maxed out and output gain. try lowering them and raising yoru speaker volume - this works for me, probably not for you
unless you have the same sound card.

cd burner

[randy turner]

hi all,
i have made some progress with my iomega usb cd burner
i can mount a cd and read files from it,
i can play a cd with workbone,
how ever ripping is another story!
cdparanoia gives me an eror
something like usb bus can't reset
any help on this?
thanks in advance
randy

Re: cd burner

[Igor Gueths]

Hi Randy. To get the exact error, do cdparanoia -B > error.txt. This will output whatever error you received to error.txt. Then post it to the list and someone possibly I can have a look at it. You can however substitute the command line for cdparanoia with whatever you used, just remember to include the > filename.txt, ehre filename is something like error.txt.

Re: cd burner

[randy turner]

hi Igor,
well the error really is not in cdparanoia,
it is an error in the usb-storage module
i have decided to compile a later kernald
to see if that helps
i will get back with you.
thanks

Re: cd burner

Hi Randy. I would suggest a 2.4.18 or 2.4.19pre8 kernel. This probably
will work for you.

Re: cd burner

[Igor Gueths]

Hi Randy. Have you read the Cd writing howto? Is your cd burner your only
Cd drive? Or do you have another cdrom drive that is ide/atapi or scsi?
Since my cd burner is ide/atapi with scsi emulation running, my syntax is
something like: cdrecord -v -eject -audio -dev=0,0,0 track1.wav track2.wav
etc. You might want to read the cdrecord manpage for more info on syntaxes
you can use. Hope this helps.

Gates go to hell, your OS is waiting for you there!

Re: cd burner

[Igor Gueths]

Hi Randy. That's interesting that you got your Cd burner to work using
USB. Just watch out for the buffer underruns as Usb provides a much slower
data stream than ide/atapi or scsi. I also wouldn't start any cpu
intensive process during this time. Just a word of advice.

Gates go to hell, your OS is waiting for you there!
