*** How to play DVD in 5.1 on SuSE 8.1 + SB Live! 5.1 + 5.1 speaker system??
by George Roubchinsky 17 Nov '02

Hello. Just a bit stupid and straight question. Sound card is SB Live! 5.1, has been detected during the installation, working normally - as minimum I hear stereo sound immediately after installation (MP3, Audio CD). DVD-ROM drive is also Ok - DVD can be mounted right from the desktop, I see the files on DVD just as filesystem on any media. How to play DVD in 5.1? Speakers is as usual, 2 front, 2 rear, center and subwoofer, connected to SB Live! 5.1 properly, in Windows I hear all 5 channels and subwoofer + I am able to control sound fading (pan the sound) and volume of the center channel separately. What should be used in SuSE Linux 8.1? I mean 1) DVD Player and 2) the mixer to control 5.1 sound fading/volume e.t.c. On my first look at KDE installed with whole "Multimedia" packages - I do not see those software. Could You please copy the answer to G.Roubchinski(a)Chello.nl as well? George

FW: [suse-multimedia-e] Playing Audio CD's

-----Original Message----- From: Irwin Hutchinson Sent: Saturday, November 16, 2002 10:59 AM To: 'Jason Farmer' Subject: RE: [suse-multimedia-e] Playing Audio CD's Hi Jason, I had the same problem when I up-graded from Suse 7.2 to Suse 8. I cannot remember all that I did but some of the things I did was to add a line to fstab, /dev/cdrom etc. (other items roughly same as the cdrecorder line) and added a "cdrom" folder to "Media" and put another cdrom icon on my desktop pointing to /media/cdrom. I am not at home right now (at work and should be working) so I do not have all the facts to hand, when I get home I will have a look and see if I can say more.

But I can mount the drive and read data from it. This only happened when I installed SuSE 8.0, My 7.1 worked fine with Audio CDs. Windows can play them no problem so it's not a hardware issue. When I attempt to play a CD using anything it says Disk ejected. When I attempt to mount the drive, it says: /dev/cdrecorder: Input/output error mount: I could not determine the filesystem type, and none was specified The contents of my FSTab file is: /dev/hdb3 / reiserfs defaults 1 2 /dev/hdb1 /boot ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/hdc /media/ls120 vfat noauto,user 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs noauto 0 0 /dev/hda1 /windows/C vfat noauto,user 0 0 /dev/hdb2 swap swap pri=42 0 0 Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi @all, when I try to play an SVCD using mplayer 0.90 it works fine as long as I play directly from CD. But when I copy the file avseq01.mpg on HD or mount the CD and play it just the file mplayer just plays crop. (distorted sound & video) Has anyone an idea of what parameter to use to play svcd files directly? Or do i have to convert the file in some way? (playing VCD files work fine by the way) This is my mplayer version: # MPlayer 0.90pre8-2.95.3 (C) 2000-2002 Arpad Gereoffy (see DOCS) # # CPU: Advanced Micro Devices Duron MG Morgan (Family: 6, Stepping: 1) # CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 1 3DNow2: 1 SSE: 1 SSE2: 0 # Compiled for x86 CPU with extensions: MMX MMX2 3DNow 3DNowEx SSE cat /proc/version # Linux version 2.4.18-4GB (root(a)Pentium.suse.de) # (gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (SuSE)) #1 Wed Mar 27 13:57:05 UTC 2002 I am using an AMD - Duron 1000 on K7S5A Mainboard / ATI RADEON 7500 There is an AVM Fritz! ISDN installed... that's all Everything else is onboard (LAN/Sound) - Arndt

SBLive MIDI
by Gary Counsellor 01 Nov '02

01 Nov '02

Howdy, I've been using SuSE + Alsa + SBLive with Daughterboard (front midi, headphones, mic and spdif in and out) quite well for several years. I recently updated to SuSE 8.1 and was disappointed when the daughterboard no longer functioned. I was very suprised, while trying to troubleshoot the issue, to discover on alsa' web site that (quoted from website): "Known bugs - MIDI on SB live drive not working properly. - wavetable drops notes sometimes. (a good test example wanted.) The following does not work in SB Live!Platinum: - capturing the front panel RCA connectors - front panel midi connectors" How long have these not worked? Did they ever work at sometime? They always worked for me (except for the spdif connectors, which I've never gotten around to testing). I could have been living in ignorant bliss (highly underated). Will they start working again? when? and What's the major malfunction? If there is anything I can do to help please let me know. -- Gary Counsellor gary(a)musician2000.com MuseProductions "The world is much more complicated than most of our theories make it out to be"
