I have a soundblaster Live. I've historically used the OSS drivers as
they've worked well for me. I just tried to load the emu10k1 which
loads without error, but mpg123 says it can't open the default sound
device.
Anyone able to do an lsmod or a listing of the drivers I need for an
SBLive?
Thanks,
Robert

If the module loaded up properly, problem may be in mpg123. If you are using
devfs, try mpg123 -a /dev/sound/dsp . If that works, set up devfsd.

Did you install alsa-utils?
/dev/sound/dsp doesn't exist. I have devfsd installed and running
already.

That's what I'm trying to do and why I'm trying to get the sound card to
work, it was in a previous part of this thread. I'm trying to find out
what drivers to load how for ALSA with a soundblaster live.

I am biased, but, it would be nice for people to start testing the
"official" 2.6 sound drivers, ALSA. The ALSA API has many benefits over
OSS, but needs wide-spread testing and validation.
Jeff, who is long tired of hacking on OSS drivers :)
/dev/sound/* is from OSS. You'll have to enable OSS emulation if you
want legacy apps to be able to use your sound.
Alternatively, mpg123 --stdout | aplay, or similar. Use a script or
alias to make it easy on yourself.

<[email protected]> seems to solve your problem. You
can also find it at
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0307.1/2023.html
In short, unset CONFIG_DEVFS_MOUNT.

modprobe snd-emu10k1
That should take care of it, it worked perfectly fine 40 releases ago :)

I have a SBlive too, emu10k1 works pretty well for me, what should I do
for going to ALSA ??
I hope the answer is not a, buy a good new supported sound card

Have you tried alsamixer? I'm pretty sure everything's muted by default.

Alsa boots up muted. Use alsamixer(1) (it is a curses app) to set
your prefered volumes. Then as root run 'alsactl store' to store
said volumes. Each boot running 'alsactl restore' will reset them.

How well? Last time I've checked ALSA, it didn't support bass and treble,
that's why I'm using OSS (emu10k1)

Right.
Also, if you want /dev/sound/* you need to compile the OSS stuff
for ALSA ...
# modprobe snd-mixer-oss
# modprobe snd-*-oss ....

One thing I noticed abt this ALSA driver is that if I am playing
say, xmms at the moment, any additional sound output will be delayed
until I stop xmms. Is there any workaround?
Using Intel(r) AC'97 Audio Controller - Sigmatel 9723 Codec

the intel chip supports only one stream for playback, so the
succeeding open is blocked since ALSA opens the device in the blocking
mode as default. and it's so for OSS-emulation, too.
for the oss-emulation, you can change this behavior via the module
option nonblock_open of snd-pcm-oss module. please check
Documentation/sound/alsa/OSS-Emulation.txt.

Wouldn't esd (the enlightment sound daemon) take care of this in
userspace? I can have sound out of xmms, firebird, mpg321 and mplayer at
the same time with esd.

Most people would rather not use esd, especially when you dont need to
use any userspace deamon to do the job.

of course, it does.
not only esd but arts can.
also, ALSA provides dmix plugin, which does the similar mixing but
without server process in very low latency. unfortunately, using dmix
plugin for OSS apps is tricky.

There are lots of reasons for not using esd (its sucky frequency code
for example) but you do need a userspace daemon because the alsa kernel
side mixing stuff doesn't handle network connections - and nor would you
want it to.
X is a networked environment, Gnome is a networked desktop, therefore
you need networked audio

ALSA's support seems usable, but still doesn't allow you to programme the DSP
with your own code. OSS uses this to enable such things as bass and treble
controls, as well as a selection of audio effects with code provided. Anyone
know if ALSA will allow this kind of thing in the future?

Anyone (Terje, Ed) care to say HOW did you enabled treble and bass in emu10k1
(ALSA) or you will continuously say "it works for me" without saying anything
useful?

the treble/bass code is implemented statically.
(so it is also on OSS emu10k1 as default, btw.)
note that there is an additional switch to activate bass/treble.
as default, this is set off. turn it on via alsamixer to get
effects.

Sorry. I didn't meant to be harsh but I haven't seen anything but "ALSA
supports emu10k1" or "emu10k1 is very well supported under ALSA." I just
wanted to know how to get tone control under ALSA and no one seems to share
that information. Or perhaps I miss a couple of e-mails from this list? I
can't find this one for example:
Message-Id: <[email protected]>
Seems like LKML swallowed that one. If that's the case, and I missed someone's
reply, please forgive me.
Best regards,
Norberto

I too am trying the 2.6 kernel per Linus' desires and also have an SBLive! .
However, I absolutely *destest* kernel modules. To my knowledge, ALSA has
been exclusively module-oriented. I'm going to assume that in 2.6 you can
build ALSA into a monolithic kernel. Is this assumtion valid? If so, will the
referenced documents above apply to getting my sound working? Or are there
other documents/resources that I need to be reading to get non-modular ALSA
working? Thanks.

Are you sure about this? My recollection from using the SF code was that Bass
and Treble weren't there until you used the setup script that came with the
package. What that does is to load a piece of DSP code which provides extra
functions. It also has to set up the appropriate routings to enable the
extra controls.
The insertion of arbitrary code and the easy setting up of routings are the
two main things missing at the moment from the ALSA emu10k1 driver. That's
how it seems to me anyway.

OK, I was mistaken about this, there is a bass and treble control in
alsamixer. They even appear when it is run without a switch of any kind. I
can't see any mention of such a switch in the manual page either. It does
work, but you have to unmute the tone control switch to enable it.

Me checked ta alsa in 2.6.0-test1 as modules as well as inbuilt, it
workz but nt rockz. Sound in mid
freq is distorted, and yep all ta tone *bass/treble* do work.
Ummm I don't think u need to read other documents *provided u did went
thru it thoroughly*.

i don't know about the very latest one, but at least until 2.4.20
there are static bass/treble tables in emu10k1/mixer.c.
they worked even without running emu-script.

yes, that makes sense.

yes. that has been a big TODO.
