I also upgraded alsa at the pm site, and then went to pbone and upgraded all the packages related to jack, and rosegarden, ardour (not quite working yet), etc.... I can now use jack to input audio from the line with my external keyboard. And in rosegarden it does show to paths for the external keyboard. I have yet to determine if this cheap $100+ casio with gen-midi is actually capable of send keystoke output to init sound/midi sigs. The reason I mention this is because it appears a fair amount of work is going into get the sound/midi/studio stuff working and usable. But the problem is, as one might expect, it that docs for end-users are scarce and vague. I would like to contrib to making an end-user doc/howto/help but I feel I need to get to things settled. A) do I have equip that will allow me to use the software/machine properly and B) Is my machine setup correctly? So, if you might (when and if you have time) give some suggestions or point me to resources It would be greatly appreciated. One of the most basic things I would need to focus on is device setup/permissions, etc. How does one confirm that it is all as it should be? TIA, Curtis. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-rc1-SuSE (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/Dav7iqnGhdjCOJsRAl2FAJ9sHWlo+EXQR2eA+Jud4glbZ14jCACePT2s Js9J5hSZ1lA5SF8WTu/WzB0= =gl+Q -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 How do you compile qamix? There's no config or make files, just .xml, .cpp, .h, etc... I take it these files are suppose to go somewhere, or perhaps qmake? Could you clue me into what is to be done. I have dl'ed qamix-0.0.4_pre03 tarballs. Unpack um' and now what. The Readme says nothing about installing. TIA, Curtis. :) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-rc1-SuSE (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/C5sziqnGhdjCOJsRAkNRAJ9Jf7zeIEzcn/fcUDcxOG51HPAOjwCff1lQ aRVswh1/6Vs8AVPmP+pL98g= =k42l -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Problems with cs4236b sound card on 8.2
by q3vo-l2b4＠spamex.com 09 Jul '03

09 Jul '03

I have a Dell workstation with a cs4236b sound card on the motherboard. At first, I was able to configure the sound card fine using YaST, but unable to get the card to play afterward. After much trial and error, I found I was able to get the card working after using various sound configuration programs, such as kmix and amixer. So I have sound until I log off, at which point it all starts over again -- I have no sound until I go to modify the settings again. It's almost like something is being loaded by the programs that isn't loaded at startup. BTW, I tried alsaconf as well and all went well and the card played upon configuration -- in contrast to the behavior using YaST -- but still whenever I log in, no sound until I configure the card again. Might anybody have some insight on this problem? Thanks, Rob

Speech Recognition Software
by Robert Ross 08 Jul '03

08 Jul '03

Hi, Sorry for multiple postings, but I wasn't quite sure which list to direct this question to. I was wondering if anyone knows SuSE's current intentions towards Speech Recognition Software? I know that most of the distributions used to package ViaVoice, but this has now become defunct.I am interested to know if SuSE or KDE are going to try to work with any other recognition toolkit for linux in the near future. If SuSE or any of the large linux groups have chosen a speech recongition toolkit, then it tgives the rest of us in research a large indiction of which software to expect to become readily available. In some recent reading, I see CMU Sphinx as being one promising toolkit, but it is limited in a curent lack of multi-lingual support. In particular there is no readily available German Acoustic model, and a sizeable amount of effort would be required to put one together by trained linguists. I would be very grateful for any information or comments you might have on this topic. yours robert ross -- ==================================================================== Robert Ross -------------------------------------------------------------------- Mail FB3, Mathematik-Informatik Deptartment of Mathematics Universität Bremen & Computer Science Postfach 330 440 University of Bremen 28334 Bremen P.O.

recording problems
by C Hamel 05 Jul '03

05 Jul '03

I wondered why this list was so quiet... and, after an e-mail saying that the list was a good one for answers, it occurred to me that the reason it is quiet is that hardly anyone is having sound problems. <LOL> So... if anyone is 'listening'... <G> I attempted a recording on all the different applications in SuSE8.2 Personal and got some really strange results. The recorded file contains a noise spike which occurs at a rate of approximately 1.25cps(+/-). If anyone else has experienced this, I would like to know how to solve it. If anyone needs or wants to inspect the file, I have a small sample I could e-mail. -- ...CH SuSE On A Toshi Is All U Need 2 Drive U Crazy. Linux user# 313696 Linux box# 199365

Request Driver for Rockwell Chameleon Combo Card...
by ramprasad potluri 05 Jul '03

05 Jul '03

Dear Readers, I have just installed SuSE Linux on my HP Pavilion 8660C PC. SuSE does not have a driver for my sound card (Rockwell Chameleon Combo). I will be very grateful if you can either give me the driver or tell me if any other driver that is in SuSE will work fine with this sound card. Thanks a lot. -Ram. --
