    Hello everyone. I have been using modified multichannel sound devices to produce laser control signals for many years. Easily the most common device to be found are these inexpensive USB surround sound boxes that contain some variation of the CMedia USB sound chip. I have four different devices and I am using an Orange Pi Zero 3 4gb running dietpi with the latest 6.6 kernel. But that doesn't seem to matter. I get the same results any other way I try it. The strange thing is that one of my devices...

    Exactly the same problem here with Ubuntu 20.04. I hope that there will be a linux driver soon for the sound for J4115 chip. I want to follow the news about this, if anyone knows ,more let us know! Reinstall of Windows with Kuu unattended installation (on USB stick) worked and gave me sound, But I screwed up the windows registration key that is stored and controlled in the bios. Hardware vendors and Microsoft are working better together to prevent use of illegal windows versions.

    Alsa works great with my UMC1820 interface. Absolute BLISS !! I recently bought the ADA8200 ADAT extension to get 8 more inputs. It is all connected correctly as I get all inputs and outputs and pass sound on all inputs in Windows as a test. However on Linux, alsa only sees 8 inputs on the UMC1820 and only two out of eight inputs on the ADA8200, namely inputs 7&8 works. Inputs 1-6 does not work. Since the UMC1820 makes you select between SPDIF (technically channels 9&10) and the ADAT extension (8...

    Fedora 33 KDE spin. I recently bought a USB web cam with built in mic. Works fine on Windows 10 on same machine (dual-boot). When I select the mic using alsamixer, I am able to move the volume up to mid-level. But when I use Zoom for a meeting, and start talking, within a few seconds the mic level drops to 0 and meeting participants can't hear me. I tried using Audacity, and it seems to keep the audio level fine for doing a sound recording. Where to look, what to try?

I would like to change this to use the Xonar card's stereo line out, as is configured in the Win10 applications. This output goes to an amp and speakers. ALSA Mixer doesn't even show this as an option. What am I missing? Thanks for...

    Hello, We've got a MOTU UltraLite AVB and are trying to get it to work properly with Ubuntu 20 as a class-compliant USB 2.0 device. However, when sound is played to the device, the channel associations switch in regular intervals. For example when you play a stereo signal, the sound may appear on the device in the "From Computer" channels 1/2 as expected, but sometimes it's 17/18 or 9/10 (the jump is always by a multiple of 8 channels). Also, sometimes the sound appears in two pairs of channels,...

    With some help, I was able to identify a solution. It's PulseAudio that's actually doing hotplug support on my system, so I was able to disable hotplug behavior there. In /etc/pulse/default.pa, find and comment out lines related to module-switch-on-connect: #.ifexists module-switch-on-connect.so #load-module module-switch-on-connect #.endif Now the default audio sink won't change automatically, it must always be done in pavucontrol or the system volume widget.

    I am trying to get Alsa to route spdif from an 1818VSl. The alsamixer says Clock sour for spdif. I can use windows and use spdif, so it is not connection problems or hardware problems, it is definately the interaction between 1818vsl and alsa that is the problem. I tried both internal clock and spdif clock in the 1818vsl, but nothing seems to remove the clock-sour message in alsa to get spdif to work in linux. Any ideas what i can still try.

    Motherboard is an Asus Crosshair VI Hero with onboard audio. Operating System is openSUSE Tumbleweed. snd-hda-intel is what loads as a driver. I am able to set VLC to use specifically use alsa, and further specify the 7.1 version of the card, but VLC is the only package that has sound. Nothing else in my system can utilize the device. The alsa-info script sees the device as card 1, generic device. alsa-info.sh output can be found at: http://alsa-project.org/db/?f=2b8c4b4c6d323e46c4bf15f4ca74fef0639c91cd...

    Hello Alsa List, Is there a way for alsa to report the maximum allowed voltage on a PC microphone input? I am running Audacity on a dual-booted (Debian Jesie) Dell Inspiron 1150. Audacity has a linear signal scale with range -1 to 1. I am interested to know what voltage range this corresponds to if I record with full volume. I hope that in one of the alsa commands there is a way to get this information. Any help on where to look would be much appreciated.

    Hi, guys. I see you all talking about using the Tascam US 428 in Linux, but I haven't figured out how to do it yet. I'd greatly appreciate any help with getting it working. I use Mint Cinnamon 18.3, and right now have the USB light on in my Tascam unit, but still can't get any sound from it. Please give me some simple ideas about what to do to make this device work, for I'm a novice in Linux configurations. Thanks, Danny

    Okay, I've figured out a fix. I set Audacity to record at 48 kSps instead of the usual 44.1 kSps. No crackle then Unfortunately, since I need my recordings at 44.1 kSps, I have to resample them but at least it works now.

More specifically I need to send the GET_MEM (https://www.usb.org/sites/default/files/audio10.pdf, p67 - section 5.2.1.2) request which is an audio class specific usb request. Is there a way to do that with the ALSA Library API? Or do I need to modify the snd-usb-audio driver? Thank you!

    RME 9632 has capabilty of 16 inputs but RMEmixer shows only 12. When trying to access those missing four channels by using RME's AI4S analog input boards the mixer app gives segmentation fault. The mixer is fine again when the ribbon cable is disconnected. However, despite of the RMEmixer, all 16 channels are seen and received by Ardour finely.

    The issue was not in the way I edited the ALSA config itself, but the way user space application was getting device hints from ALSA. I was looping through sound cards and then for each card I would call snd_device_name_hint (int card, const char *iface, void ***hints). and get back array of hints for all devices on that card. However, when I changed the logic and instead of looping through cards I called the fucntion with -1 snd_device_name_hint(-1,....) , I got back array with hints for all cards...
