[AUDiO] Rebirth Player somewhere?
by Oliver Ob 15 Jun '02

15 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.

No audio CD players work in 8.0
by Patrick Garnett 13 Jun '02

13 Jun '02

Does anyone know a simple reason I should have no luck playing a cd in 8.0 when everthing worked fine on default settings in 7.3. KSCD shows "ejected" on its display. Wont load or eject with the tray widget. Flashes 'Closing" fo an instant then returns to "Ejected" Dosn't matter if tyhe tray is in or out. In Gnome the CD plaer reads "searching" Then says "input output error." I tried cdparanoia to see if it would rip, if it wouldn't play. It won't. Cdparanoias exhaustive drive search function retuns with "drive exists but is not accessible" In Konqueror audiocd:/ gives me a no such website message. Clicking the small CD icon in KDE yeilds Could not mount device. The reported error was: dev/cdrom: Input/output error mount: I could not determine the filesystem type, and none was specified. What baffles me most is that the cdrom works fine fo loading software. Ejects on cue and everything. I tried digging around a little, but I'm no wizzard. I looked at SuSE support database and found an old article about a similar situation.Checking permissions I saw: pat@linux:~> ls -l /dev/cdrom lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Jun 1 01:20 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/hdc Seems fine.But no help. As root I looked at Yast hardware details and found the CD-ROM mount point to be "/dev/sr0" So could it be the mount point is wrong by default somehow? It seems unlikely that mine would be the only one... ...and the CD-R works fine...or at least mounts up when I click the icon in KDE. The CD-R icon mounts /dev/cdrecorder to /dev/sr0 and opens /media/cdrecorder. fstab looks like: dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 mtab with the CD-R mounted: /dev/sr0 /media/cdrecorder iso9660 ro,nosuid,nodev,user=pat 0 0 Should I change a link somewhere? Or suffer in silence while sitting next to $70 worth of new CD's?

Someone posted this file: (I repost it to ensure I made no typo lapsus...) #!/bin/bash # # This is a CD-R script for burning mp3 files directly to CD. # The mpg123 program converts mp3s to cdr format, and cdrecord burns # the tracks on the CD. for I in /mnt/dir/*.mp3 do mpg123 --cdr - "$I" | cdrecord dev=0,1,0 -audio -pad -v -speed=2 -nofix - done cdrecord dev=0,1,0 -fix I now tried it out and ruined one. :-( It does not properly convert the MP3s to WAV. These errors occur: 1. It converts to a zero length file, meaning that it will burn a track size of 0 MB audio 2. cdrecord aborts with: Track 1 has unknown length. Cannot open new session. 3. The disk cannot be fixated in the end. cdrecords aborts with: Cannot fixate without track list (not yet implemented) Now, how can I fix the script to work it out? Maybe I just mis-spelled or mistyped something. Do you find the error? -- *º¤., ¸¸,.¤º*¨¨¨*¤ =Oliver@home= *º¤., ¸¸,.¤º*¨¨*¤ I http://www.bmw-roadster.de/Friends/Olli/olli.html I I http://www.bmw-roadster.de/Friends/friends.html I I http://groups.yahoo.com/group/VGAP-93 I I http://home.t-online.de/home/spacecraft.portal I >>> Telek0ma iBBMS - soon back online +49.4503.TRSi1/TRSi2 <<<

intel8x0 hanging with SuSE 8.0
by babu walad 12 Jun '02

12 Jun '02

Here's what I see in my modules.conf file regarding sound: alias sound-slot-1 nvaudio options snd-intel8x0 snd_ac97_clock=0 snd_enable=1 snd_index=0 options snd snd_cards_limit=1 snd_major=116 When I first installed with yast2 it configured the sound card with no problems. However, when I boot my machine it HANGS at the point it says it is initializing the intel8x0 module. I saw some email regarding this and linux and alsa but this was at least a year old posts. Is anyone seeing a problem with intel8x0? Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks, Babu __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

ATI TV Wonder PCI, SuSe 8.0 and kwintv
by babu walad 10 Jun '02

10 Jun '02

I got kwintv configured properly and it found all the TV stations and sound worked too. The problem is I tried to resize the TV window by dragging one corner and it did resize it. Unfortunately in the process it also hung my machine. After a re-boot, I clicked on the TV card icon to start it and it immeidately hung my pc. Is this a known problem, and how do I restore the windows size so it does not lock up my pc every time I launch kwintv? Thanks, Babu __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

matrox g400, tvout and macrovi$ion
by Beppe 09 Jun '02

09 Jun '02

Hello! ^_^ I migrated to suse 8 from mandrake 8.2 because i needed software for multitrack recording and so on and i can say i really love this distribution. my problem is with my video card: how can i use a matrox g400 in dual head clone with tv support mode? I downloaded the new drivers and matrox powerdesk from matrox site but: - if i use powerdesk i can enable tv support but there is no management for 3d - if i use the screen configuration for XFree 4 i can enable 3d but not tv support - if i use powerdesk after screen configuration for XFree 4 X blows up screaming about no screen supported or something like that and i have to copy the backup configuration on the XF86Config file does anyone know what to do? I was thinking about cutting and pasting the configuration of tv-out from the XF86Config made by powerdesk on the XF86Config made by the xfree configuration utility but of course if someone knows a better way I'm here to learn ^_^ the second problem is: even if i will be able to use 3d and tv out, what about Macrovision???? i mean, i need the tvout to view my dvds and divxs on tv but the macrovision system lets me see only a black screen. Is there a way to remove this stupid and most of all USELESS protection? or at least to make it work as in window$ (it lets you watch divxs on tv but not record them on vcr)? thanks for the help ^_^

[AUDiO] MP3 playing
by Oliver Ob 09 Jun '02

09 Jun '02

Hallo list, I installed SUSE 7.0 for my Jukebox server. Soundblaster works fine, NFS also. No problems here. Even wavplay runs LONG wavs just fine (tested with a 9 MB long wav file) Now regarding MP3s I got a problem. mp3blaster, which seems to apparently have a larger read-ahead than mpg123, plays the first 10 secs (approx) fine and then plays distorted sounds (just as repeating bits of it). How can I get this done? What I wonder is that how I can play WAV finely but not MP3? I got 20 MB of RAM onboard, this should be enough by far... Ramses van Pixteren, if you read this, please get back to me, I followed your exact steps in this but up to no avail. Read you soon!!!

Hi folks, Andrew Smith, if you read this, your Email seems not to work or I might have got some old one. Please get back to me because of your mpg123-jukebox script for bash.
