[Solved] Audio Problems LDME Audor built in I/O

cometphoton · Post by **cometphoton** » Fri Dec 11, 2020 7:15 pm

Not all of my Audio hardware is configured: Analog audio devices are not installed correctly.
I can see my Digital Spdif output in the generic sound setting Gui. Also installed Pulse Audio GUI same results:
This might help. Note I am a newbe to Linux so this is what I found hacking.

see a SPDIF Digital output but no Analog outputs. Loaded pulse and I see the same.
Not sure what to do next to install or repair my audio I/O. Please send me comments via the form.

This may help

Hi cometphoton, and welcome to the forum.

Looks like the card configuration is wrong for you, assuming you're not using S/PDIF output.

Run this in the terminal and I think you might be all fixed:

Code: Select all

pacmd set-card-profile alsa_card.pci-0000_00_14.2 output:analog-stereo+input:analog-stereo

You also have surround sound options that it could probably be changed to but the above will at least let us know if things work.

MrEen

Thanks for that command line. The command line sent turns off the SPDIF digital out and turns on 2 channel analog. I assume there are other commands to turn on the SPDIF we just turned off. ? Also another to turn on the 5.1 analog.

Its odd that this can't be accomplished with the GUI.
Although I can live with the commands.

Please send me the commands if you can and thanks for the last one.
1. Now I can turn on 2 channel:
pacmd set-card-profile alsa_card.pci-0000_00_14.2 output:analog-stereo+input:analog-stereo
2. What is SPDIF digital IO?

3. What is 5.1 Analog IO?

You can use PulseAudio Volume Control (pavucontrol) to set these things on the Configuration tab. As they are all on one sound card, you can only have one selected at a time.

Take a look at that and see if it answers questions enough, or just mention anything that still puzzles you and I'll do my best to answer.

1. I rebooted
2. Ran Jack to config the analog channels but nothing was there.
3. Ran Audor / configured 2 analog channels in and out.
4. Recorded 2 channels and played it back. Happy Camper.

What is odd is: Now when I open the icon on the panel I can pick any type of I/O.
Well its fixed. But If I open up pulse nothing is available.

Its odd but I can work with it now.
Thanks

This Debian base is foreign to me. As long as you're happy, I'm fine with that!

And I should mention that maybe there was a conflict between JACK and PulseAudio. Your last statement makes me almost sure of it. But depending on what you're doing with Audio, JACK by itself might be the better choice anyway.

My Conclusion.
1. Audor records and playback is fine "without jack" just using PC built in Line in and outs. I am using the Pc choice: HDA ATI SB I/O. The Sample rate is 44.1 khz at 1024 samples. This got rid of the x runs.

2. This is important to understand:
a. As you physically change the input cabling from Spdif to Analog the choices change inside of the gui for sound, found on the panel icon. ( I am not using pulse audio anymore. )

So the hardware and software somehow monitor the I/O and only display what is in use. Thus only giving you choices with the GUI that you are actually using. ( I am not used to this intelligence with sound software & Hardware but now that I understand how it works I like it ).

Thanks for your comments and listening to my problems.

Well In the end we just built a really nice Sound Studio Recording PC with LDME and Audor. Using it now and its really nice.
