Novation XStation 25 - alsamixer error - cannot load mixer controls: Invalid argument - ignore_ctl_error causes instability

Hi all,


I am running Kubuntu 12.04 with the 3.2.0.23 lowlatency kernel. I have installed Kxstudio and am using my XStation 25 rather successfully with jackdbus. I have disabled pulseaudio on kde and am routing everything via jack and using the pulseaudio bridge for applications like skype which seem to need it.

Now I am trying to use a master mixer for jack to control my hardware channels, so as a result settled on Kmix (started as env KMIX_PULSEAUDIO_DISABLE=1  kmix to disable pulse and to show alsa channels).

However I noted that while my onboard sound card showed up, the Xstation didn't. So i did  

sudo lsusb -v

Output here:

aplay -L - Output here:



Key thing to note in the output of aplay was:                                                                                                                                                                             

card 3: XStation [XStation], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]                                                                                                                                                         
  Subdevices: 0/1                                                                                                                                                                                                    
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 

The Subdevices show 0/1 AFTER I boot into kde (it shows 1/1 immediately on boot prior to logging into kde prior to jackdbus/pulseaudio kicking in...however other cards remain 1/1)


mendred <at> dantooine:~$ alsamixer -c3
cannot load mixer controls: Invalid argument
 
So I tweaked around with my /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and added ignore_ctl_error=1 to the snd-usb-audio module

options snd-usb-audio index=-2 ignore_ctl_error=1 nrpacks=1 

and then after restarting (Strangely sudo alsa force-reload didnt get it to work, i needed to restart the comp)
alsamixer -c3

brought up the XStation mixer and it was visible on kmix as well

However, the volumes could either be set at 0 or at 100 and nothing in between and it didnt seem that the XStation responded to the software mixer (e.g. muting it didnt mute anything for e.g.). Also the system became unstable and froze repeatedly, so I have turned back ignore_ctl_error=0 

The wierd thing is that XStation works fine under  both pulseaudio using pavu control and jack.

I am assuming that this is some issue with the driver that deals with the mixer part? Any help on working around this to get a working alsa mixer would be appreciated!

Thanks!
Bharat

passing arguments

hi
my .asoundrc I have:

------------8<----------------------------
pcm.filter {
     @args [ ENNOISE ENBIQUAD FLAT ]
     @args.ENNOISE {
         type integer
         default 0
     }
     @args.ENBIQUAD {
         type integer
         default 0
     }
     @args.FLAT {
         type integer
         default 0
     }
     type test
     slave {
         pcm "play0"
     }
     noise $ENNOISE
     biquad $ENBIQUAD
     flat $FLAT
}
pcm.filter_mono {
     @args [ _ENNOISE _ENBIQUAD _FLAT ]
     @args._ENNOISE {
         type integer
         default 0
     }
     @args._ENBIQUAD {
         type integer
         default 0
     }
     @args._FLAT {
         type integer
         default 0
     }
     type plug
     slave {
         pcm "filter:$_ENNOISE,$_ENBIQUAD,$_FLAT"
         channels 1
         rate 44100
     }
}
------------8<----------------------------

If I use filter device there is no problems, for example:
# mplayer -vo null -ao alsa:device=filter=1,0,0 sweep_100-5000.wav
it plays correctly wav file

but I have to use filter_mono device, and I get an error:
# mplayer -vo null -ao alsa:device=filter_mono=1,0,0 sweep_100-5000.wav
MPlayer UNKNOWN-4.3.3 (C) 2000-2010 MPlayer Team

Playing sweep_100-5000.wav.
Audio only file format detected.

how can I pass arguments from filter_mono to filter device?

thanks

Input/Output error

Hi.

I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 i386 with kernel 2.6.38-15-generic-pae to
record some audio with arecord.

I'm getting this strange error when I try to record from my FM tuner
card from device hw1,0:

root <at> dvr-test:/home/dvr/dvr# arecord -f cd -D hw:1,0 -d 20 test.wav
Registrazione in corso WAVE 'test.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian,
Frequenza 44100 Hz, Stereo
Attenzione: il campionamento non è accurato (richiesto=44100Hz,
ottenuto=32000Hz)
         provare il plugin plug
arecord: pcm_read:1773: read error: Input/output error

And the test.wav file is empty, of course.

I tried to upgrade to Ubuntu 12.04 also, but I get the same error.
I tried to change my FM tuner PCI card, but I didn't solve the problem.

I googled a lot but I didn't find any solution for my problem.

Here you can find my ALSA info:
http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=cfc2632071342f2b0373c3a484fa04b19acf0958

Could you help me, please?

Thank you very much!
Bye.

Macbook pro 1.2 Headphone and speakers

Hi,

I have a Macbook Pro 1.2 .With ubuntu 12.04, the sound works, but when I
plug in headphones, I have sound both in headphones and internal speakers.

I tried to add "options snd-hda-intel model=macbook-pro-v1" at the end
of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

But it is not working better.
The soundcard on that laptop is a SigmaTel STAC9221 A1

Is there something else I can try to get the sound working correctly?

Thank you

emu10k1 (Audigy) FXBus routing query

Dear all,


I am writing to ask how to route certain DSP 'outputs' from my Audigy 2 ZS back into the equivalent 'ASIO inputs' for recording purposes.

Specifically, I'd like to route outputs from the Wavetable Synths on my card to inputs that would go straight into a DAW (such as Ardour), so that I can apply effects, record and mix-down as if they were external synth signals.

I know that with the kX project drivers in Windows this is possible, by routing the Synth outputs to FXBus outputs 16-63, leaving the ASIO inputs as 0-15 for the audio input, and then patching which channels I require from the Synth to those inputs (e.g. Synth Channel 1 -> FXBus out 16&17 -> FXBus in 0&1).

After reading a thread that contained responses from Jaroslav, I believe the answer is in emufx.c, but I'm unsure as to where to start as I need to assign the outputs from the Synths correctly first.

Thanks in advance! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Kind Regards,

Dan

Permanent audio device with snd-usb-audio

Hello,

i'm searching for a way to create a permanent audio device with the
snd-usb-audio and a USB microphone.

The device should be already there and working and after plugging in
the USB device it should be avaialble through that device.

Example: /dev/pcm is already there and i can stream from it and after
i plugged in the USB device this should be available through that
device. After unplugging it it should be still there. Like a mixer.

Thanks

Dieter

Yes.

It's actually card1 for me. I started from a clean state and
restored the unmuted state of the HDMI outputs:

# rmmod nvidia
# rmmod snd-hda-intel
# rmmod snd-hda-codec-hdmi
# rmmod snd-hda-codec-realtek
# rmmod snd-hda-codec
# modprobe snd-hda-intel
# modprobe nvidia
# alsactl -f /etc/alsa.state restore

# grep stream= /proc/asound/card1/codec*
/proc/asound/card1/codec#0:  Converter: stream=0, channel=0
/proc/asound/card1/codec#1:  Converter: stream=0, channel=0
/proc/asound/card1/codec#2:  Converter: stream=0, channel=0
/proc/asound/card1/codec#3:  Converter: stream=0, channel=0

After X started from the console:

# grep stream= /proc/asound/card1/codec*
/proc/asound/card1/codec#0:  Converter: stream=0, channel=0
/proc/asound/card1/codec#1:  Converter: stream=0, channel=0
/proc/asound/card1/codec#2:  Converter: stream=0, channel=0
/proc/asound/card1/codec#3:  Converter: stream=0, channel=0

While playing the longer "welcome" file:

# grep stream= /proc/asound/card1/codec*
/proc/asound/card1/codec#0:  Converter: stream=0, channel=0
/proc/asound/card1/codec#1:  Converter: stream=6, channel=0
/proc/asound/card1/codec#2:  Converter: stream=0, channel=0
/proc/asound/card1/codec#3:  Converter: stream=0, channel=0

When playing is stopped:

# grep stream= /proc/asound/card1/codec*
/proc/asound/card1/codec#0:  Converter: stream=0, channel=0
/proc/asound/card1/codec#1:  Converter: stream=6, channel=0
/proc/asound/card1/codec#2:  Converter: stream=0, channel=0
/proc/asound/card1/codec#3:  Converter: stream=0, channel=0

So, the "6" is not reset to "0".

I will recompile the kernel with the new config option set and report back.

Thanks for your help.

thanks for your answer. However, this GIT commit is dated
2009-11-18 and according to "git log", it went into Linux
2.6.32-rc8. We are using 2.6.38.4.
