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

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.

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!?
