oss_envy24ht / ice1724 / prodigy hd2 support

[dflt]

Seems that prodigy hd2 which is envy24ht chip-based is not supported. I think that *maybe* oss4 detects wrong bit output (32bit instead of 24 or 16). I know for sure that envy24ht chips are 24bits max.

One more thing: when I change envy24ht_model in oss_envy24ht.conf to 1 or 0 the card isn't even detected!

When I try to play anything (in this case osstest) I get this msg from dmesg:

Code: Select all

osscore: Output timed out on audio engine 0/'Audiotrak Prodigy HD2 main out' (count=0)
osscore: Output timed out (sync) on audio engine 0
osscore: Output timed out on audio engine 1/'Audiotrak Prodigy HD2 digital out' (count=0)
osscore: Output timed out (sync) on audio engine 1

ossinfo gives me:

Prodigy hd2 works on alsa but still I f*cking hate alsa, please support my card!

Very strange... ice1724 should work with OSS4 without problems.

Could you please test it with Arch LiveCD?
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3933
Arch LiveCD Release 20100825 has already OSS4 installed, but you have to unload ALSA modules, and load OSS4 instead.

[dflt]

Ok, I will test it but I don't think this will change anything. I already have the latest OSS from git repository and for example oss_envy24 (audiophile 2496) works just fine.

[wolep]

My case seems similar with this one. I have Onkyo SE-90 card and it doesn't work on OSS. I've tried using OSS4 on Ubuntu and no luck. Then today i tried it on ArchLinux LiveCD followng igorzwx recommendation.

ALSA works on this card but with poor sound quality and not to mention the crackling and stutter.
Any help would be appreciated I'm new on linux. Maybe i should stick with FreeBSD if this card cant work on linux

Have you tried "ossdetect -v" ?

ossdetect -v

You can also reinstall OSS4 (do not forget to remove /usr/lib/oss ). A new version of OSS4 may work better.

Thank you for the replies

[igorzwx]

You may try to re-install/recompile OSS4 on Arch LiveCD. It is easy to do, see: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3543&start=30#p15703

If nothing helps, you may try to fix ALSA (on the same LiveCD).

1. Remove PulseAudio
2. Install asoundconf and configure soundcards, see:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AL ... ound_Cards
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ya ... repository

You can install asoundconf with yaourt

Code: Select all

$ yaourt asoundconf


see: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4059&start=0#p16135

see also:
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3981

To improve sound quality with ALSA, you may also try Petrov's plugin.

This time I install Arch Live CD to my hard drive then recompile OSS4.

Running OSS install script...


-------------------------------------------------------------
 Open Sound System was installed. Now you should add 'oss'
 to your DAEMONS variable at /etc/rc.conf, and start the
 daemon by running /etc/rc.d/oss start.

 Note that OSS can't currently work together with kernel
 ALSA modules, so they were moved out by the OSS install
 scripts. If you want the ALSA kernel modules back, you can
 just remove this package using pacman.

 Please note that OSS stores some of its configuration files
 at /usr/lib/oss. If you are upgrading from an older OSS
 release and it doesn't work properly, try removing that
 directory and reinstall this package.

Optional dependencies for oss
    gtk2: for graphical mixer (ossxmix)
    hal: for automatic USB audio configuration

It seems this Onkyo SE-90 card not supported by OSS..or maybe i do something wrong?
I'll try with the ALSA things as you described now.

Thank you for the link sources and the example igorzwx, i definitely try it while wait for OSS4 release that can work. For me arch linux is more sane to my logic as it more BSD'ish
