Thanks for your help even if we didn’t find the solution. I had liked to know why there are capture channels anyways? On my laptop and my other PC for example there aren’t, there is only Mic and Mic Boost that must be enabled to get it working, why?
Greetings! I am struggling with trying to get the Creative X-Fi Notebook expresscard (the smalled 34mm black one) to work with ALSA. I have read a few messages and forum posts about this and people do have it working so I know that it is possible. It seems that it has to be used with the usb-audio driver since it is registering as a USB device. Unfortuantely whenever I load the snd-usb-audio module, dmesg reports:
snd-usb-audio: probe of 5-2:1.0 failed with error -5
It is being recognized however, as dmesg shows:
usb 5-2: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 3 usb 5-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice input: Creative Technology Ltd SB X-Fi Notebook as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:13.0/usb5/5-2/5-2:1.3/input/input2 generic-usb 0003:041E:30D2.0003: input: USB HID v1.11 Device [Creative Technology Ltd SB X-Fi Notebook] on usb-0000:00:13.0-2/input3 input: Creative Technology Ltd SB X-Fi Notebook as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:13.0/usb5/5-2/5-2:1.4/input/input3 generic-usb 0003:041E:30D2.0004: input: USB HID v1.11 Keyboard [Creative Technology Ltd SB X-Fi Notebook] on usb-0000:00:13.0-2/input4
Any input as to how someone got this to work would be great. I’ve tried it with both a 2.6.32 and 2.6.35 kernels and the newest alsa (1.0.23). Also if there is any other information anyone needs just let me know. Thanks in advance!
Thanks for answering.
My problem is the second one you described. When i disable both capture channels the output isn’t going to the input channel, but the microphone doesn’t work either. Also i try to use it in Mumble, maybe i have to choose the correct input channel? I left “Default ALSA Card” for both input and output, but i can select other channels.
Hello everybody!
My problem is that my output (desktop sound) goes partly through the output device (front microphone). This is very annoying for VoIP and i am seeking help here.
My chipset is a HDA Intel, here is also the output of the also-info.sh script: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=2f99cd14e3689862c4156f4c2e2ef5fc772f5df5
Asking help on the Ubuntu forum didn’t work, but here is the thread for more information as it also contains the KMix panel screenshot: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9774300#post9774300
Can someone help me? I’m pretty sure it’s a bug in ALSA… Thanks, kind regards…
Hi all, In my hardware there is processor which will act as mixer so i wrote plug in for ALSA to make processor as mixer for ALSA. The plugin is in C++ as i m using qdus and generated shared library and copied into /usr/lib/alsa-lib/. My plugin name is Myplug. when i use amixer -D Myplug set PCM 3dB+ it is giving error like ALSA lib control.c:867:(snd_ctl_open_conf) Cannot open shared library /usr/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_ctl_Myplugin.so amixer: Mixer attach Myplugin error: No such file or directory..
I have doubt tat Weather plug in should be C i mean shared library should be generated by c file. if not how create a shred library by using C++ code for alsa plugin.
Thanks In Advance, Ganesh

I don’t think ‘alien’ can convert file versions into the needed ones.
I.e. package format conversion does not guarantee the package can really work under a foreign Linux distro.

Excited to see http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/08/call-phones-from-gmail.html , I was quickly disappointed to find the plugin only supported debian and was 32 bit. However, I persevered and got it running on Fedora 12 x86_64 anyways.
Google ought to hire someone that knows about App Development and Linux Audio and Fedora packaging (me?) to make the audio/video experience nicer for it’s Linux users. In particular, not just blindly using ALSA devices for input that cannot possibly support audio capture, although I guess I’m a fringe-case since I don’t use pulseaudio, since I’ve got KDE’s phonon setup to do the right thing w/r/t all my audio devices, including the ones talking via Jackd. ( http://ccrma-mail.stanford.edu/pipermail/planetccrma/2010-May/016886.html ). Also, not assuming every Linux user runs a debian/ubuntu distro would be helpful as well 
I’m considering getting a headphone amplifier which is based upon the Burr Brown PCM 2702 USB DAC and I would like to make sure that it’s supported by ALSA.
Is there an ALSA driver for the BB PCM 2702 and have anybody successfully used a product based upon the BB PCM 2702 with ALSA?

Hi, Please help me debug sound configuration problem with Cirrus CS4236 motherboard “soundcard” under Puppy Linux 4.3.1, with my Dell Optiplex GX1.
Runs sound fine under both Windows 98SE and Red Hat Linux ver 7.2 (old).
Please see attached file “helpdebug1.txt” for checks I have made and some results.
Thanks for any assistance.
Aloha, Norm, NH7UA
Running Puppy Linux ver 4.3.1, no soundcard capability
Sound works fine under Windows98SE, as CS4236
Sounds works fine under Red Hat Linux (ver 7.2, date 2001), as CS4232
Aslaconf does detect CS4236 (two instances given to choose from!), but does not end up with fully installing it. See console listing “alsaconftest2.txt” & “alsaconftest1.txt” for results (original feedback garbage chars removed)
