Has anyone gotten their DSP 500 working? I've tried configuring my /etc/modules.d/alsa file to get it to work, but no luck. I have USB and USB audio included in the kernel, not as modules, and two other sound cards which use emu10k1 and intel8x0 drivers, both of which work.
Thanks. |

YES I GOT MINE WORKING!!!!
Will post what I actually did in a little bit. (I have to figure out how I did it first  )
Sound is pretty poor right now, but it's working!
Kernel is gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.7-r11 with UDEV enabled (devices are located in /dev/sound/*)
Got it working with XMMS. Had to take the OSS plugin because I could actually tell it to use /dev/sound/dsp. I was not able to get actually to work with alsa, eventhough I have no OSS enabled in my Kernel (only the emulation part, that's probably why) |

I have mine working with alsa exclusively.
Here is what I did
- removed everything with OSS from the kernel
- add usb sound support
- modify /etc/modules.d/alsa
here is mine
| Code: |
alias char-major-116 snd
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1 // you have to put your soundcard here
alias snd-card-1 snd-usb-audio
options snd cards_limit=2
|
reboot or restart the apropriate deamons. Try alsamxier -c1 to check if it is working. |

Anyone else get it working like this? I'm not dropping 50 bucks on a damn headset before i'm not reasonably sure I can get the damn thing running...

OK i finally got this thing working and it sounds better than it does on windows!
Here is what i did.
/etc/make.conf
| Code: | | ALSA_CARDS="atiixp usb-audio" |
Kernel Config
| Code: | Drivers -> sound -> Sound Card Support (*)
Drivers -> sound -> Alsa ( )
Drivers -> sound -> oss ( )
Drivers -> usb -> Host-side usb (*)
Drivers -> usb -> ehci hcd usb 2.0 (*)
Drivers -> usb -> ohci hcd (*)
Drivers -> usb -> uhci hcd (*)
Drivers -> usb -> usb human interface device (*) |
*recompile
Alsa Drivers
| Code: | | emerge alsa-drivers |
Alsa Setup
| Code: | cat /etc/modules.d/alsa
## IMPORTANT:
## You need to customise this section for your specific sound card(s)
## and then run `update-modules' command.
# OPTIONS
options snd major=116 cards_limit=2
options snd-atiixp index=0
options snd-usb-audio index=1
# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-atiixp
alias snd-card-1 snd-usb-audio
# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1
# OSS/Free portion - card #1
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
## OSS/Free portion - card #2
alias sound-service-1-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-1-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss
alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss
|
Configure using
| Code: | alsamixer -c 0
alsamixer -c 1 |
One last thing, make sure you switch the alsa source in your application to use audio device hw:1,0 or what ever your headset is.
Some one please make this as solved. |

| Yah more than likely your usb-sound driver didnt get loaded. Plug the usb headset in and then modprobe the drivers ("modprobe snd-usb-audio" as root). Also make sure you recompiled ALSA after you updated your make.conf file with usb-audio. |

Yes, you are right.
The usb-sound driver does not get loaded.
I get
| Code: | # modprobe snd-usb-audio
FATAL: Module snd_usb_audio not found. |
I have the kernel configuration as you suggest, but with one difference: I'm using alsa from the kernel and not the kernel-drivers.
Does that make a difference?
When you say to recompile ALSA after updating make.conf, does that mean (for me) to recompile the kernel, or the alsa-related libs that i have
| Code: | # equery l alsa
[ Searching for package 'alsa' in all categories among: ]
* installed packages
[I--] [ ] media-libs/alsa-lib-1.0.14_rc1 (0)
[I--] [ ] media-sound/alsa-headers-1.0.14_rc1 (0)
[I--] [ ] media-sound/alsa-utils-1.0.14_rc1 (0.9) |
Thanks for the help. |

| If you look at the message: "Can't set up properly a USB headset" on Jan. 11,2006, you will find a complete rundown of the steps I took to get my Plantronics 400 working. The udev rules need changing to reflect the use of ==. I won't guarantee success but mine headset works perfectly. |

| Looks like the specific issue you are having is you dont have usb-audio in your alsa_cards variable in the make.conf file. Please review http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_ALSA_Complete_%28includes_dmix%29 for how to correctly setup alsa in the make.conf file. Then do a emerge -av --update --newuse world and make sure alsa-driver gets recompiled. If you are using the kernel dirvers just add the usb-audio driver in as a module and recompile the kernel. modprobe it again and you should be good. |

i have managed to get the module loaded, and able to access the alsamixer for card 1.
However, I cannot make use of the headset.
It always plays through the speakers, or through a jack headset if that is connected.
The USB is never used.
| Code: | usbcore: registered new interface driver usb-storage
input: USB HID v1.10 Keyboard [DELL DELL USB Keyboard] on usb-0000:00:1d.7-8.1
input: USB HID v1.10 Mouse [Logitech Optical USB Mouse] on usb-0000:00:1d.7-8.2
input: USB HID v1.00 Device [HID 047f:c001] on usb-0000:00:1d.7-8.4 |
Something i could me missing? |

okay, so the headset is working!
i know that because in Skype i can choose the Audio In and Audio Out, and it works!
So my problem now is how to make the normal audio Out be directed to the headset?
Besides Skype, all audio is played by the speakers.
And, if I direct the sound to the headset, will I then loose all audio if I don't have the headset plugged-in?
Or it falls-back to the default speakers?
Thanks |
