Spdout just plays stereo (intel HDA; rev 40)?

[niko11]

Hi All,

I hava a big problem. I installed OSS4 and just get stereo on my spdout0 or pmc0. The osstest just plays also stereo? Also XBMC and VDR just knows stereo. After the PC there is an Denon 2308 reseiver. Can I test the 5.1 Sound?

The onboard card is an (the nVidia I don´t use):

vmix0-channels <Stereo|Multich> (currently Multich)

Yes, "Multich" means MultiChannel.
You may try to find Cesium on IRC, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSound#IRC
You may also find a special test audio file (and discussions) on this forum (google it).

Code: Select all

vmix0-enable ON|OFF (currently ON)
vmix0-src <Fast|High|OFF> (currently High)

"High" means "bad sound quality", "Fast" means "very bad sound quality".
"OFF" should produce normal sound quality with your HDA soundcard.
These switches may not always work. This problem can be fixed with "/usr/lib/oss/scripts/killprocs.sh" script https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OS ... ample_Rate

You may also try "ossplay -R" with a stereo wave.

Code: Select all

$ man ossplay
       -R     Disable  redirection  to  virtual  mixer  engines   and   sample
              rate/format  conversions.  Should  not be used unless absolutely
              necessary.

You may want to enable "Production quality" viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3543&start=30#p15711

I hope you can help me, because the OSS Sound is so good

If you perceive your sound quality as "so good", you may urgently need a medical help (it is not a joke).

Reduced hearing capacity – understanding less and less, almost without noticing it
People are creatures of habit. We can quickly adapt to reductions in our hearing capacity. We barely notice how we keep having to ask people to repeat things, how we increase the volume on the television set, or how we are no longer able to filter out the voice of the person we are talking to when there are many other conversations going on around us. This is because the deterioration of our hearing is a subtle process. Those who recognize this in time and act accordingly have the best chance of counteracting this process and being able to continue hearing.

Did you know? Even a brief, violent sound (such as an exploding firecracker) can cause permanent hearing impairment.

Thank you igorzwx

I will try to find the right configuration in ossmix and get a test sound file. I just mean the soundquality between alsa and oss, when the surround sond works i will get time for the production quality, but first the oss should work.

Should i disable: vmix0-enable ON|OFF (currently ON)?

Does anybody has a tip of my oss_hdaudio.conf file.

[igorzwx]

Should i disable: vmix0-enable ON|OFF (currently ON)?

You can disable it when you do not need it, and enable it when you need it.

"vmix" means "virtual mixer". It is a "software mixer", a kind of PulseAudio.
Since the Linux drivers for your soundcard do not support "hardware mixing", you may need a "software mixer".

You can disable vmix, if you want to play an audio file directly to your soundcard (it can do it well, because it is "HDA").
Then you can enable vmix. You may need it for your "surround".

Code: Select all

$ man vmixctl
CHANGING THE VMIX CHANNEL MAP
       The  vmix  subsystem  can  remap channels, so that all output sent to a
       channel via vmix will end up being played on a different  channel.  The
       syntax  uses  a  list  of  channels, where typically 0=default, 1=left,
       2=right, 3=center, 4=lfe, 5=left  surround,  6=right  surround,  7=left
       rear  and 8=right rear.  Note that vmix-channels should be set first to
       Multich if vmix is to recognize the extra channels.

   EXAMPLES
       o      vmixctl remap /dev/dsp 2 1 #switch left and right

       o      vmixctl remap /dev/dsp 0 0 0 0 6 5 #switch left and  right  sur‐
              round

Does anybody has a tip of my oss_hdaudio.conf file.

Usually, you do not need to change anything in this file.

I bought a new sound card to try a new way, but i have always the problem, no sourround.
When the system boot it always look like this:

I also try with the Kernel Driver Realtek as a modul. Do you know what Kernel Option i should have?

It's "ossmix -d1 vmix1-channels Mulitch" (different mixer). Anyhow, osstest will not output 5.1 in any event. How are you testing 5.1?

[igorzwx]

Thank you igorzwx
I will try to find the right configuration in ossmix and get a test sound file.

The test wave for 5.1 Surround is here (thanks to Cesium):

How did you test the 5.1? You can try using ossplay and this file (after gunzip).
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3573#p14211
Download 6_Channel_ID.wav.gz → http://www.fileupyours.com/view/77985/6 ... _ID.wav.gz

It is amusing to play it with DeadBeef converting to stereo:

Code: Select all

streamer_set_output_format 16bit int 6ch 44100Hz channelmask=3F, bufferfill: 0
oss: exclusive mode is activated!
Converter: fftrate (ver. 0.6 debug)
Input  : 44100 Hz, 6 ch, 16i bits
Output : 48000 Hz, 2 ch, 16i bits
Params.: delay = 53 ms, sync: ON, transform: 'DCT' - 'Vorbis'

It might be reasonable to include that 6_Channel_ID.wav into the OSS4 source.
The preferable Surround Sound Standard might be that of SMPT/EBU:

http://www.2l.no/hires/index.html
The track order of all 5.1 surround files follows the standard as defined by SMPT/EBU and implemented by SourceForge in FLAC (v. 1.2.1b): L – R – C – Lfe – Ls - Rs flac.sourceforge.net

I only tried 5.1 whith osstest. After that i download some testfiles and played with ossplay.

Testfiles:
http://www.kellyindustries.com/sounds.html

and bingo,there is sound on both cards and the reseiver (Denon 2308) which changes the income signal without any problem.

The vdr and xbmc always still have no surround. So I played with the configuration. Nothing happens. Now i update the gentoo system.
There is hal and udev installed, so I will try just udev and make a better make.conf on the system (thanks to Peje).

Thank you very much for your held!

When it will work i will look after the good production sound But this will take some time.

PS: I think the ALC 892 Chip is better than the CM8783 Chip (no Pro Logic II sound, just stereo).

[igorzwx]

I will try just udev

UDev is a notorious trouble maker, but you can load the drivers you need before it starts its "stupid business of auto-loading".
You may google this forum for more details.

[ojin11]

Well, you can give some try to find out the Cesium on IRC. Furthermore, you have also the option to find out a very special test audio file which would enable you to get more into solving your issue. By the way, make sure you work it out very well to get the correct configuration in ossimix.

If you do not hear the difference, you can simply ignore any tests. What is the problem?

It is very probable that a new version of OSS4 may have a better resampler. You may ask Cesium for more information.

The git-version of OSS4 plugin for Audacious has "exclusive mode" which allows to "disable redirection to virtual mixer engines and sample rate/format conversions", but it seems to be impossible to disable format conversion in Audacious. It might be a kind of "very advanced" ALSA converter, it is likely to deteriorate sound quality. In any case, it is a lossy conversion, by definition http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lossy_data_conversion There is also a magic resampler for Audacious viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3834 Although the deaf may not hear the difference, it might be interesting to try.
