[alsa-devel] asus xonar DX
by Dmitri Seletski 08 May '09

08 May '09

Hello boys and girls. I have successfully installed asus xonar DX onto PCIE x16 slot on Linux 2.6.28-gentoo-r5 SMP on amd64 architecture. Version of alsa package - alsa-driver1.0.20, alsa firmware 1.0.19. I used alsa package and not kernel modules. Several channels seem to work fine(my speakers are broken, no back channels available, started holy war with creative about it, guess with fiasco with faulty speakers and xfi drivers i am supporter of creative no more, i am not gonna bad mouth them either just yet). So far so good. Microphone works, surround sound works too, I am pretty happy. Thanks for all people who advised me something. If i come across this problem - you will hear from me again ;) Specially

The codec communication looks a bit unstable on this device... Does this still happen on the latest 2.6.30 version? Takashi

[alsa-devel] Laptop (Samsung Q45) speakers unmute when master channel is unmuted even with headphones connected
by Sam Morris 07 May '09

07 May '09

Since Linux 2.6.28 and through to 2.6.30-rc4, the hda-intel driver has had a bug on my laptop (a Samsung Q45). If I connect my headphones, the laptop's internal speakers are muted--fine. But if I then mute and unmute the master mixer channel, the speakers come back to life, even though the headphones are still connected. Please keep 517241-forwarded(a)bugs.debian.org CC'd in follow-ups. -- Sam Morris https://robots.org.uk/ PGP key id 1024D/5EA01078 3412 EA18 1277 354B 991B C869 B219 7FDB 5EA0 1078

Hi, If I use the format SNDRV_PCM_FORMAT_GSM to identify if the audio stream is voice stream or not, would it be appropriate? Thanks, Harsha

I have not heard from this kind of problem so far, which does not mean, that it does not exist ;) Can you describe the beep sound? After a quick look I can not pin point the soc board file used with the omap3evm board. Is it in the tree?
