 Posted: Tue Oct 19, 2021 2:19 am Post subject: want to try ALSA once more need help. |
 |
|
Hey i have been using some custom ebuild by one from the IRC they worked great it allowed me to use ALSA>pipewire>Jack>pulse-libs
so i could have a Alsa as my default sound. for when i played some games the sound, sounded wrong and crackle or what not under wine. i did try a lot of diffrent pulse audio-config even one sended me his fedora one but it did not work. so i did get back to ALSA then and there it sounds right.
i did ask on the IRC about it when the problem happen and i get abit tired that there is not program at all that allow you set individual audio level for each program you use sense i use that a lot when i'm talking with people and play games at the same time.
they recommended me to try alsa>pipewire(with pulse support), and i did that i even installed pulse as i used it 1 year ago. but it still don't work.
| Code: | #pulseaudio no deamon support
media-sound/pulseaudio -daemon -alsa -alsa-plugin -bluetooth -equalizer -gdbm -gtk -jack -orc -sox -ssl -udev -webrtc-aec -elogind
|
so my problem that i have now is that the only way i can use like discord-bin and have mic support is with pipewire.
i did try to use jack. and yes i can pipe it if i use the firefox version of discord. but then i get no sound from anything that uses wine or proton so ic ant game at all. everything is gone. i even looked the flags sense i thought wine had jack support but i guess it did not so.... yea....
the other problem i had was that i could not use OBS-studio with an ALSA only system i MOST use pulseaudio if i dont i have not sound devices to pick from.
my friend told me that i can use a loopback system but im not sure how to set that one up sense the link i get from gentoo wiki on ALSA seems abit out of date or old... so im not sure. i wanted to add the pro-audio overlay but i dont understand how i only added git ones. (and yes i dont use eselect or layman i do it all manualy sense that what i was told to learn and how to do it.)
i have not done anything to my kernel what i know of that has to do with ALSA or Pulseaudio or stuff like my problems started to come with Pulse and so on updated to 15.

i see. but i can use pulseaudio useflags if i want use a pure alsa system.
discord works with pipewire.
but i do preffer the alsa better quality in sound.
what else do you think need pulseaudio? not fully sure on what you are reffering to.

Shaorin,
Pulseaudio is a wrapper around alsa. It won't work until alsa does.
What do you have in /proc/asound/devices ?
What does | Code: | | grep -R -i codec /proc/asound/ |
tell.
Are you trying to use a USB or Bluetoth sound device?
There is one, | Code: | sysdefault:CARD=Sound
HyperX Virtual Surround Sound, USB Audio
Default Audio Device |
That does not mean that its the one you want to use though.
Lastly please post the output of

Afaik, discord won't work on a pure alsa system, it requires pulseaudio but you can use apulse to launch it
apulse /opt/discord/Discord |

hey
| Code: | | grep -R -i codec /proc/asound/ |
has not output at all nor as user or root
| Code: | sysdefault:CARD=Sound
HyperX Virtual Surround Sound, USB Audio

is the right soundcard i want to use sense i only have a USB headset and the other sound is from the HDMI did desable it in a file somehow so that alsa would only see this one. dont remember how now for it was like 1 year ago one in the IRC told me how.

ok that all the output. 
i did try to install apulse and i get sound on discord. but i still have not way to set audio level sense pavucontrol and pulsemixer seems to be hard dep on pulseaudio.
and when i use apulse i cant use jack sense it dont see anything and all the sound it dead.
thanks alot for all the help i get. its abit weird sense all worked well 10-12 months ago:)

ooo i see then its a change that they made like 10-12 months ago or so. i know back 1 year ago it did not seem to work but i was on i3 and all i needed to do was to quit and restart 1-2 times and it find the devices and works fine. it never worked the first time you started never. but thanks for the head up, i wish i did not need to use discord at all, but alot of gamers are there and sense i do play games its kind of needed sadly.

Shaorin,
You have at least three sound cards.
| Code: | 00:1f.3 Audio device [0403]: Intel Corporation 200 Series PCH HD Audio [8086:a2f0]
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. 200 Series PCH HD Audio [1043:8723]
01:00.1 Audio device [0403]: NVIDIA Corporation GP104 High Definition Audio Controller [10de:10f0] (rev a1)
Subsystem: eVga.com. Corp. GP104 High Definition Audio Controller [3842:6173]
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0951:16a4 Kingston Technology HyperX 7.1 Audio |
The first two do not have any drivers loaded, so cannot work. They are not disabled, so the kernel may still count them.
Not having any CODECs is correct. They are a part of the driver.
USB sound cards, such as you want to use, do not advertise CODECs.
So far so good.
What is the content of /proc/asound/devices ?

Shaorin,
Its a file, so no trailing /
apulse or ever pulseaudio should not affect the content of /proc/asound/devices
Its a list of all the alsa sound devices the kernel knows.
I get | Code: | 2: [ 0- 3]: digital audio playback
3: [ 0- 7]: digital audio playback
4: [ 0- 8]: digital audio playback
5: [ 0- 9]: digital audio playback
6: [ 0-10]: digital audio playback
7: [ 0] : control
8: [ 1- 0]: digital audio playback
9: [ 1- 0]: digital audio capture
10: [ 1- 1]: digital audio playback
11: [ 1- 2]: digital audio capture
12: [ 1] : control
33: : timer
/proc/asound/devices lines 1-12/12 |

Shaorin,
Good. That makes it nice and easy.
Card0 Device0 is the default card for alsa and you only have card0, device0.
As its USB, it will expect audio to use the 48KHz sample rate by default.
Can you play the sound from videos, they are rarely anything else.
Sound from CDs uses the 44.1KHz sample rate and needs dmix to resample them 'on the fly', so that's not a suitable test source.

yes i can play sound from firefox, wine games. steam games, mpv (music mp3) (video, AVI, FLV, MKV, mp4) and with apulse i can speak and listen to discord.
and my emulator dolpine for gamecube games works well and the mupen64 for N64 stuff works too.
the main problems i have now is that if i dont use apulse discoed dont work.
and i have no audio level controller so i cant set the mic or app by app sound levels. i have alsamixer but my friend on discord say my mic is really low and i cant really set it higher.
OBS-studio dont work with ALSA. i have not devices i can pick from. and i can pipe with jack but then all other sound it dead. if i dont use Apulse i have sound but not from WINE and i can pipe to discord useing firefox version.
i think i did see some of the .asoundrc changes if i try i lost all sound míght be related to .config/pipewiire/conf i did delete that dir and i think i could add stuff to my .asoundrc, but as one other user said discord changed so it will not works on pure alsa still.
and as i said before. pavucontroll do not work on pipewire even if i use pulse side of it and not alsa.

Shaorin,
What do you have in /var/lib/alsa/asound.state ?
Its your preserved alsamixer controls and settings
The file is written on shutdown and read on startup to save/sestore your settings over shutdowns.

Shaorin,
| Code: |
control.5 {
iface MIXER
name 'PCM Playback Volume'
value.0 65
value.1 65
comment {
access 'read write'
type INTEGER
count 2
range '0 - 75'
dbmin -7000
dbmax 500
dbvalue.0 -500
dbvalue.1 -500
} |
say that you have an output volume control that has 75 steps in the range -7000 to +500. So that's a step size off 100.
I suspect that each step is 1db.
Further it says that the setting that was restored was
| Code: | dbvalue.0 -500
dbvalue.1 -500 |
which in 10db from maximum. I don't know how well its calibrated, but if its real, 10db doubles the perceived sound level.
You also have a Mic volume slider.
| Code: | control.4 {
iface MIXER
name 'Mic Capture Volume'
value 27
comment {
access 'read write'
type INTEGER
count 1
range '0 - 35'
dbmin -3000
dbmax 500
dbvalue.0 -300 |
}
Again, it does 35 steps from -3000 to +500 and its presently set to -300. That's 8 steps down from maximum.
Some sound cards have a Mic Gain 20db switch. That's like adding 20 steps to the Mic slider. That's not listed.
Can you see the controls in alsamixer?
Press F3, F4 or F5 inside alsamixer to control what you can see.
This won't fix what works but it may help winth your sound levels.

yes i can use the controls and set it the master volume that works.
for each of the programs i need to hope that there is a volume option so i can lower it in the program sense there is no option what so ever to do it outside it.
but i guess thats normal?
when i set the volume in alsamixer it show
PCM [db gain: -15.00 -15.00]
and under is it you have the slider with 00 under for the device i assume
under that 43<>43
and when i go up and down with the arrow keys the db gain. changes with one db up or down.

Shaorin,
The [OO] is the mute switch. [OO] means Open and [MM] means Muted.
43<>43 at the bottom of the control shows the slider setting. The Sliders are stereo controls but both channels can be controlled separately, if you wish.

oo ok. so i see thats good to know. atleast one volume i cant change and then i will see if ic an do for program to program then.
i did complie obs-studio with -pulseaudio i guess i need pulseaudio useflag to get it to work as i want it too.
i can pipe the microphone with jack and maybe the program too so i get sound to it sense it has jack support, but as i said before then i lose all other sound so thats not a way to do it. sometimes the useflags does confuse me abit sense it say it has A and then you think it has that support but it dont really you need B too for it to work.
compling obs with pulse dont work

Shaorin,
| Code: | | [blocks B ] media-sound/pulseaudio ("media-sound/pulseaudio" is blocking media-sound/apulse-0.1.13) |
That's a hard blocker because both packages install some of the same files.
You cannot install them both at the same time.
I don't think ALSA can do per application sound levels but someone will be along "real soon now" to show you how to do it.

yes i did see the HARD block just posted it anyway. the same happen for pulsemixer. i really really would love to be able to set audio levels and mic options for each program. i dont care if its a CLI or abit weird that can be fix by a script but if there is nothing then i just going to be happy and accept it.

I gave up on having a pure Alsa system a few years back, I use pulseaudio and pulsemixer as that seems to have the best sound, especially when watching movies in Firefox.
And I dont know if Firefox ever started supporting any other sound 'backend'?
If I were trying to run really old hardware or embedded I'd go pure ALSA for sure.

turtles,
I only have ALSA.
I believe that firefox-bin needs pulse but home made firefox works with alsa here.

Neddy thats great to here, last I tired it some videos with HD sound did not work well
and the killer was my google voice did not have full duplex, and I use google voice all day long for work.
I might have an old thread on here about it.
Cheers
Turtle
