Audigy LS sort of works with Fedora 3

guitarfella · 04-18-2005, 01:41 AM

I have installed the ALSA 1.0.8 drivers for my Audigy LS using the source and instructions from alsa-project.org. it should work, here is some output

Code:

lspci
01:09.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Audigy LS
01:09.1 Input device controller: Creative Labs SB Audigy LS MIDI/Game port

lsmod | grep snd
snd_ca0106             30640  4
snd_ac97_codec         70392  1 snd_ca0106
snd_pcm_oss            51368  0
snd_mixer_oss          21632  2 snd_pcm_oss
snd_pcm                87044  3 snd_ca0106,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss
snd_timer              27524  1 snd_pcm
snd                    56676  12 snd_ca0106,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer
soundcore              12961  2 snd
snd_page_alloc         14088  2 snd_ca0106,snd_pcm

all the channels are unmuted, but there is no playback.
the thing is, when i unmuted the "analog front" channel i did get some playback
i can adjust the volume from this channel
i tried some movies and mp3s and the playback is very very jumpy.
the headphone and pcm channels dont even make a difference.. which is a problem

any ideas?

Hi,
I had similar problems with my CA0106 based sound card.

Try add these to your ~/.asoundrc file. And make sure you are using default PCM output in XMMS and other applications.

Code:

pcm.ca0106 {
 type hw
 card 0
}

ctl.ca0106 {
 type hw
 card 0
}

ctl.!default {
	type hw           
	card 0
}

pcm.!default {
	type hw           
	card 0
}

pcm.!default {
        type plug
        slave.pcm "dout"
    }
 
pcm.dout {
    type dmix
    ipc_key 1025
    slave {
        pcm "hw:0"
        period_time 0
        period_size 1024
        buffer_size 4096
        rate 44100
    }
}

ctl.dout {
type hw
card 0
}

I'm going to go ahead and bump this up because I am having this exact same problem. Very odd.

I tried adding that file as you said, but it doesn't change anything for me :-\ I still only get that mono channel. Did it work for you guitarfella?

Maybe i'm not changing anything in xmms as i should? How do I change these things
