Multiple soundslots with the pci 128

How can I make TS use anything else than /dev/dsp ?
If i set it to anything else than dsp it won't work. So adsp doesn't work, dsp1 doesn't work, dsp0 doesn't either.
I use the kernel es1370 driver (as a module).

modules.conf entries:
alias sound-slot-0 es1370
post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || :

How can I make it work? Should I install alsa drivers? I had a look at them and they seem hard to install. Is there any way to test if dsp1 works for me? I only know that testing it in xcdroast works (it works for dsp and dsp1 there, dsp1 gives a slightly softer sound). Also when ts is on both dsp and dsp1 don;t make a sound in xcdroast. I have checked if dsp is linked to dsp1 and it is not. Both are not linked to anything. Starting up ts while playing an mp3 in xmms is terror (100 % cpuload and ts never completes starting up).
What to do?

n00b

(j.k)

What exactly does not work? error messages, log entries would be nice.

Hmm well i dont have this card so i cant help you from experience.

i read this (you too) http://forum.teamspeak.com/show...ghlight=es1370

Have you tried the latest alsa builds (download from http://www.alsa-project.org/)
installing alsa is easy as 1,2,3 imho. (just dont forget to remove the auto-loading of oss modules)

Yes... i am a n00b
Yes... i installed the alsa drivers
No... i didn't forget to adjust my modules.conf
Yes.. Alsa did kind of work (mp3 played, modules were loaded properly)
Yes.. in the alsamixer there were 2 pcm devices
No.. i couldn't use both
No ... filling in /dev/adsp in TS didn't work
No ... all other dsp's didn't work either in OSS and ALSA
Yes .. the permissions were okay on the dsp's

you had oss emulation enabled i assume?
Which version of alsa?

woutur · #5 05-12-2002, 19:02

Okay here we go for the solution:
Using alsa drivers 0.90rc6
I had to link dsp to adsp
Then teamspeak on dsp0
That's all.

[root@Woepie etc]# ls -al /dev/dsp*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Dec 5 18:52 /dev/dsp -> /dev/adsp
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 14, 3 Dec 5 02:15 /dev/dsp0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 14, 19 Dec 5 02:15 /dev/dsp1
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 14, 35 Dec 5 02:15 /dev/dsp2
crw------- 1 root root 14, 51 Dec 5 02:15 /dev/dsp3
crw------- 1 root root 55, 0 Aug 30 2001 /dev/dsp56k
[root@Woepie etc]# ls -al /dev/adsp*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Dec 5 02:15 /dev/adsp -> /dev/adsp0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 14, 12 Dec 5 02:15 /dev/adsp0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 14, 28 Dec 5 02:15 /dev/adsp1
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 14, 44 Dec 5 02:15 /dev/adsp2
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 14, 60 Dec 5 02:15 /dev/adsp3

That's about it.

use the snd-ens1370 module, and recompile alsa. i run a SB128 on dsp and /adsp, read my old thread "tip for dual dsp on sb128"

the es1370 module is crap :-)

as long as there's a solution

yes, but will the same apply to the es1371? when I was using alsa (because with OSS I dont have these problems... I can use dsp0 and dsp1 for teamspeak/quake anytime) I could not get teamspeak to record sound on /dev/dsp and quake playing on /dev/adsp (it just said no sound device found, but xmms could play music on /dev/adsp)
