 Posted: Sat Sep 03, 2005 6:04 am Post subject: [ALSA] Howto send one channel through lowpass filter? |
 |
|
Hi all,
I'm using the following setup (.asoundrc) to send a stereo signal to all 6 channels of my 5.1 system:
| Code: | pcm.duplicate {
type plug
slave.pcm "surround51"
slave.channels 6
slave.rate 44100
route_policy duplicate
}
|
Unfortunately, using this setup the subwoofer also receives the "normal", unfiltered signal - bad.
=> I want to put a lowpass filter in front of it.
I found the following setup which should accomplish that:
| Code: | pcm.lowpass {
type ladspa
slave.pcm "surround51"
path "/usr/lib/ladspa"
plugins [ {
label lpf
input {
controls [ 50 ]
}
} ]
}
|
My question is now: How can I combine them, how can I send a filtered signal to the subwoofer?

It's a pity that nobody answered this post. I want to do a bass redirection (like a window$ utility supplied with audigy) to the subwoofer. I imagine I need to use lpf and hpf, but there's no good and easy to understand documentation.

I have two amps connected to my Audigy 2 card on front and rear port. I wanted to apply a low-pass to front and a high-pass to rear. I tried for two days now but no success. Does anyone has a solution yet? My .asoundrc look like this (explanation below):
| Code: | #FILTER
###############################################################################
pcm.lpf
{
type ladspa
slave.pcm "test2"
path "/usr/lib/ladspa";

[
{

}
}
]
}
pcm.hpf
{
type ladspa
slave.pcm "test3";
path "/usr/lib/ladspa";

I use "stereo40" to duplicate left/right to four channels. These four channels are then routed through "surround4" which splits them to 2 x 2 channels and sends them to "testlpf" and "testhpf". Then the signals should be processed by the low-pass and high-pass and finally should be sent to front and rear.
I can use something like "aplay -Dplug:lpf somewavfile" to play a wav-file but only on front (or rear if I change the config). I can also use stereo40 to duplicate stereo signals to four channels.
Problem (I think): When using "front" or "rear" some hook function is called which sets some volume parameters. The parameters in the hook functions for front and rear differ slightly and I suspect when these functions are called seperatly (like I do above) they set a false volume which then results in no sound at all.
That's why I tried to mix the pcm devices "test2" and "test3" together. I used the dmix plugin for that but that only crashed aplay. Same for dshare plugin (I really don't understand the docs about these plugins and tried both). As a last try I used the multi plugin and nothing segfaulted but then alsa used four (instead of two) subdevices but still no sound. All four subdevices were at state PREPARED. So I believe the config was wrong.
Question: Does someone know how to route two two-channel pcms to one four-channel pcm (which then could be routed to the surround40 pcm supplied by ALSA)?
Cheers, Jan

How did you get ladspa plugins installed? I'm trying to get gst-plugins-good to recognize ladspa, but if I could bypass gstreamer and go directly to alsa, that would be great.

You can do that without any technological mumbo-jumbo....

"emerge media-libs/ladspa-sdk", i suppose. Don't know for sure. Just used them as described in some alsa-docs.
