[alsa-devel] ALSA driver for Native Instruments sound hardware
by Daniel Mack 23 Mar '08

23 Mar '08

Hi, some months after the last posting, we finally managed to finish a new version of the ALSA driver for Native Instruments' external USB sound cards such as "Rig Kontrol 2", "Kore Kontroller", "Audio Kontrol 1" and "Audio 8 DJ". Compared to the last release, the following things were changed: - the streaming logic was completely reworked so that multiple substreams are handled correctly - a Linux input device layer was added to support the knobs, buttons and pedals on "Rig Kontrol 2" and "AudioKontrol 1" - workqueues were entirely removed from the code - most data structures are now allocated within one big struct to avoid multiple, smaller allocations - many more cleanups according to Clemens' reply on my last posting[1] The driver was properly tested with all the mentioned hardware on both record and playback channels. The patchset should apply to the current mecurial alsa-kernel tree. Please let me know what you think.

[alsa-devel] [HDA Intel/STAC92xx] mic not working (retasking?)...
by Daniel J Blueman 08 Jul '07

08 Jul '07

With both 2.6.20 and 2.6.22 kernels on Ubuntu 7.04 on my Sony Vaio SZ240, I'm unable to get my mic connector working at any cost. Well, almost...reading from /dev/dsp, I do see a minute change from 127 for 126 or 128 if I tap my external mic. This would imply the jack-retasking feature of this darn STAC chipset, right? How can I change the jack retasking with the Intel HDA drivers or get further insight into this problem?

[alsa-devel] SALSA-Lib: snd_pcm_hw_params fails with MMAP
by J. Scott Merritt 03 Jul '07

03 Jul '07

Dear List, Using SALSA-Lib 0.0.5 ... After calling snd_pcm_hw_params_set_access with an access mode of SND_PCM_ACCESS_MMAP_INTERLEAVED, the subsequent call to snd_pcm_hw_params returns a snd_strerror error code of "Invalid argument". This same program operates properly in the target environment (ARM PXA270) when compiled and linked with the standard ALSA LIB 1.0.13. Thanks, Scott.

[alsa-devel] [HDA Intel/STAC92xx] Alsa 1.0.14: error in stac92xx_auto_fill_dac_nid
by Jan de Mooij 02 Jul '07

02 Jul '07

I have a strange problem with alsa on Ubuntu Gutsy. If I compile and install the Alsa 1.0.14 driver, my sound card is not detected, and sound doesn't work. I also get the following message in dmesg: [ 33.360190] stac92xx_auto_fill_dac_nids: No available DAC for pin 0x15 So the problem seems to be in the stac92xx_auto_fill_dac_nids function. When I copy that function from alsa 1.0.13 into the 1.0.14 source, everything works okay... It looks like the function is rewritten for version 1.0.14, but for me it does not work anymore. I have to do the above steps with each new kernel update in Ubuntu Gutsy... Therefore I would like to fix it, but I don't know where to start. Thanks in advance. Jan

[alsa-devel] Acer Aspire 9810 hda-intel RealTek ALC883 no sound thru speakers only via SPDIF/Headphones.
by Adrian Grassi 02 Jul '07

02 Jul '07

Hi guys, I have a Acer Aspire 9810 with hda-intel realtek ALC883 chipset and no matter what version of alsa and ditribution I try I only get sound thru the shared SPDIF/Headphone Jack. This laptop has a built in 2.1 power speaker system which works fine under windows but not in any linux distro's I have tried: Ubuntu 7.04 - Kubuntu 7.04 - Suse 10.2 - Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10 Beta - Mandriva Spring 2007.1 I think this is a configuration issue however I can't find any info anywhere on how to fix it, I did find a few posts where several people are having the same issue. Can someone please shed some light on how to fix this issue, if any additional information is needed please let me know, I have been trying to solve this for over 5 days now and is driving me bananas.
