Usually arecord is the best as a primary test.

[alsa-devel] M-Delta Audiophile 192 (ice1724) Recording
by CAG 31 Jan '08

Hi, we use the M-Delta Audiophile 192 with alsa-driver-1.0.15 and the ice1724 module. Playback works but we cannot record anything. I noticed that this maybe a bug according to the Alsa Changelog: From Changes v1.0.13 v1.0.14: > > - ice1724 - Add support of M-Audio Audiophile 192 > > Added the (experimental) support of M-Audio Audiophile 192 board. > Currently, the analog and the digital playbacks seem working fine. > The inputs seem not working as far as I've tested yet. How is the status for that card ? Is someone working on this ? I heard Recording with OSS works but actually we don't want to switch to OSS... Is it worth waiting for a new release ? We desperately need recording! Cheers from a free radio station, Toast

[alsa-devel] ACER Aspier 5630 (snd-hda-intel ALC883)
by Marcin Floryan 30 Jan '08

30 Jan '08

Hello! I have had some problems using alsa sound on openSuse 10.3 wit the above hardware: sound output OK but mic not working. Have seen many relevant bugs and with the new driver the microphone is now working OK so thanks for all the effort. I was wondering now if there is anything I could do to help with driver development to fine-tune for this particular hardware setup. I can provide some further details or do some tests if guided a bit (I am fairly comfortable modifying source code and compiling the driver) Kind regards, -- Marcin Floryan http://marcin.floryan.pl/ Please consider the environment before printing this email.

[alsa-devel] alsa-firmware licensing
by Tim Jackson 30 Jan '08

30 Jan '08

As part of the Fedora Project [1], I'm trying to package [2] the ALSA firmware up for easy distribution to Fedora users. The trouble is that the licensing seems unclear. Specifically: a) Several firmwares claim to be under the GPL but don't specify a version and don't include source - see https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=3411 b) More worryingly, the Emagic EMI 2|6 firmware appears to be under a "license" which prohibits ANY redistribution. Quoting from emi_26_62/license.txt (my emphasis): "The firmware contained herein is Copyright (c) 1999-2002 Emagic as an unpublished work. This notice does not imply unrestricted or public access to this firmware which is a trade secret of Emagic, and which ***may not be reproduced, used, sold or transferred to any third party without Emagic's written consent.***" Does the ALSA project have special authorisation ("written consent") to distribute this? Who within the ALSA project is responsible for the -firmware package and might be able to help resolve some of these queries? Does anyone have a contact at Emagic (which seems to have been bought by Apple) to discuss relaxing the firmware conditions slightly? Any information most welcome. We'd really like to get the firmware in Fedora. Thanks, Tim [1] http://www.fedoraproject.org/ [2] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=217259

[alsa-devel] Gateway Model: MT3707 driver??
by Ya Bra 30 Jan '08

30 Jan '08

Dear Alsa Driver's Developers, I would like to express my gratitude to you all for your hard work developing the sound driver for linux users' computers. I am a beginner Ubuntu linux user. I recently tried to install the sound driver for my Gateway Laptop. It shows in the driver list as HDA Intel with an ATI manufacture. Please let me know if your project has extended to support for sound in such laptop's vendor like Gateway. Or if you have any solution on how to configure such sound card like to work, please let me know as well. I would like to thank you in advance for your help. Yours Sincerely, Nymo Lim,
