Automatically play an audio CD (resent b/c/o no solution yet)
by Oliver Ob 26 Jun '02

26 Jun '02

Is there any way to simply have some background (console) task AUTOMATICALLY play that cd in background as soon as I put that cd into the drive? How do I do that? (console solutions please!) ======= thanks, also text pointers appreciated. cda is running (started with cda on), now how do I instruct cda to start playing after I have inserted an audio cd? Or maybe a different console tool? -- *º¤., ¸¸,.¤º*¨¨¨*¤ =Oliver@home= *º¤., ¸¸,.¤º*¨¨*¤ This is Linux country. If you listen carefully, you can hear Windows reboot...

sound but mp3 players hang
by Bret Waldow 26 Jun '02

26 Jun '02

SuSE 7.3, kernel upgraded to 2.4.16-4GB SuSE. Sound works, and I can play a CD, and hear the System Notifications (start up sound, open or close window sound, etc.). XMMS hangs when I try to start it. Gqmpg hangs. mp3blaster on a terminal doesn't play, but at least provides a message "Failed to open sound device". Any thoughts of what to look for? Thanks.

Gramofile
by Antoni Mont 26 Jun '02

26 Jun '02

Hi, I am new to the list as well as being fairly new to Linux and I would appreciate if someone can help me on understanding that: The wav files I generate with gramofile program, out of the line input of the sound card, seems normal in size and, in fact, sounds OK if I play it directly with -say- xmms player. But went I intent to burn a CD with they, I get an error because each track is supposed to last for more than 100 min. (in fact they have about 4 or 5min. each). If I convert the wav files into mp3 format, and then I convert them back to wav format, all goes OK. The GramoFile version is 1.6 (that I got from Ftp SuSE site because, on the contrary that is said in the Applications manual, it is not among the packages suplayed with the distro) and I run SuSE 7.2 in a Duron-800 based PC. Regards, Toni

CD Player (Kscd) and Suse 8.0
by David Rose 24 Jun '02

24 Jun '02

I read Patrick's question of the 11 Jun 2002 22:26:05 with interest as it seemed to describe the problem that I am experiencing. I did exactly as recommended by Dieter in his reply (ln -sf /dev/sr0 /dev/cdrom) and since it worked for Patrick, but not for me I must assume that the problem is different. I can get Kscd to run with an audio disc in the CDRom/CDWriter and the display seems to indicate that the CD is running, viz. the timer is running. It shows volume at 59%. However there is no sound output whatsoever. Yast2 Control centre -audio test result is perfect Hardware info identifies the CD-RW correctly and it is shown as /dev/sr0 under both CDRom and scsi details. CDR-W is Plextor 12/10/32A and works properly with data files and in all respects under windows. I am new to Linux and intend to persevere with it, but I would like to get it up and running first in order to explore it. Can anyone help me please? David Rose

MIDI problem
by Dominique Michel 23 Jun '02

23 Jun '02

My MIDI sound is not working with my i815 soundchip and SuSe 8.0. I have downloaded the upgrade and configurated it with alsaconf, but it's not working more, the driver is the correct one, the snd-intel18x0.o. Only the PCM sound is OK, timidity is working fine. With Mozilla, it's strange: if the link is a direct link to a MIDI file, it's working, but if the MIDI file is linked with an embed tag in the code of the page, all i get is a little comment at the bottom "running helper..." and no sound at all. If i try with configuration, son, MIDI in the kdm menu, i get at i have no MIDI port. In the config menu, sound, mixing console is not working at all. Kmidi is working but i can see the leds taht go up and down, but i hear nothing. With kmid, it's worse, i get only a crash with signal 11 from it or kdm. The sound part of the module.conf is as follow: # Aliases for OSS # alias sound off # alias midi off # OSS/Free setup alias sound-services-0-0 snd-mixer-oss # uniq.virtual:Sound card # # --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- # --- ALSACONF verion 0.9.0 --- alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 snd_device_mode=0666 options snd-intel8x0 snd_index=0 # --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- Can somebody help me with to fix this problem? I'm sure at it must be a possibility to have the seuquencer working. I have proved with timidity as server, but i don't now how i must configure the MIDI ports to have them to work, all i get is a message like what timidity was working and att it was 2 Midi ports, but back in configuration, sound, midi, nothing is here.. I have RTFMed and proved a lot of things but nothing have helped. I have compile and run the test in the MIDI-mini-howto and the result is at the libraries are installed. When i click to a MIDI file in konqueror, i can see the interface in koncqueoror but a message is coming "/dev/sequencer cannot be opened, another program is probably using it" Have somebody a sugestion? Thanks Dominique Michel

[AUDiO] Rebirth Player somewhere?
by Oliver Ob 23 Jun '02

23 Jun '02

Locations: ========== www.propellerheads.se www.steinberg.de Program: ======== ReBirth 338 1.0 ReBirth 338 2.0+ Question: ========= I have searched the entire Propellerheads' homepage and other sources. I have exchanged mails with M.Zetterquist, one of the programmers and still do. I need a KDE (or even better: CONSOLE) player for the audio RB format, I was able to locate format descriptions on the above pages, but even the programmers do not know of a Rebirth Format player (.RBS file ext) under Linux environment. ("devzone" on the HP above) Now the ?: Is there any of you capable of programming such a thing? Maybe you know one of that kind. Please PM me, I am in contact with Propheads for Linux support anyway. So far I have found similar analogue synth programs for Linux, but none of those I know does support the ingenious .RBS Format.

Intel Board d850gb (chipset ADI 1885) on SuSE 7.3
by Juan Francisco Torres Chacón 18 Jun '02

18 Jun '02

Ok, this is the story: The standard configuration using YAST2 in SuSE7.3 (just after installation) didn't detected the sound card (or chipset in this case) Finally, I used "alsaconf" in text mode, and it was detected as "Intel 82820 820 Camino2 AC97" I used "gamix" in Xwindows to "unmute" the sound. Sound is playing, BUT 1- Everything is "quicker" than it should. Every sound or song is played a little quicker than normal..... 2- I get the following messages: - xconsole: Jun 14 09:34:31 winlinux kernel: snd: snd_intel8x0_chip_init: invalid AC'97 codec Jun 14 09:34:31 winlinux kernel: snd: Intel ICH soundcard not found or device busy Jun 14 09:36:34 winlinux insmod: insmod: a module named snd-mixer-oss already exists Jun 14 09:36:34 winlinux insmod: insmod: insmod sound-service-0-3 failed - /var/log/boot.msg (messages when the machine boots) /etc/init.d/rc5.d/S21alsasound start Starting sound driver: intel8x0/lib/modules/2.4.10-4GB/misc/snd-card-intel8x0.o: init_module: No such device Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters /lib/modules/2.4.10-4GB/misc/snd-card-intel8x0.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.10-4GB/misc/snd-card-intel8x0.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.10-4GB/misc/snd-card-intel8x0.o: insmod snd-card-intel8x0 failed failed <notice>'/etc/init.d/rc5.d/S21alsasound start' exits with status 1 - /var/log/messages Jun 14 09:34:31 winlinux kernel: PCI: Found IRQ 9 for device 00:1f.5 Jun 14 09:34:31 winlinux kernel: PCI: Sharing IRQ 9 with 00:1f.3 Jun 14 09:34:31 winlinux kernel: PCI: Setting latency timer of device 00:1f.5 to 64 Jun 14 09:34:31 winlinux kernel: snd: snd_intel8x0_chip_init: invalid AC'97 codec Jun 14 09:34:31 winlinux kernel: snd: Intel ICH soundcard not found or device busy Jun 14 09:34:31 winlinux kernel: Switching off penguin.
