OK, so this is really just an update on my earlier post about KMix PulseAudio integration. I've spent quite a lot of time refining the initial support I added a few weeks back. What follows is a brief summary of the changes/improvements/bugfixes. ... [More] Firstly, some of the tabs (namely "Capture Streams" were not shown unless an application was actively capturing while kmix started... somewhat unlikely really :p This is now fixed. Then there was a problem with Profiles. These would be created automatically when you went to the "Configure Channels..." dialog. There were actually several problems relating to profiles which ultimately lead to controls going AWOL - with no way in the GUI to see them even if the backend itself was actually aware of their presence. The concept of GUIProfiles does not really tie in too well with the concept of "Dynamic Mixers" (where controls come and go), but I think I've managed to get it all working nicely now. And finally we come to something I said I wasn't going to do. In my last post I explained that moving streams to different devices was something best left to the System Settings -> Multimedia dialog. Lots of people commented on that post saying that individual stream moving is still needed. Well, not wanting to disappoint the public, I have now added relevant patches to enable this in KMix. The UI is not ideal yet, but you can access it via the context menu of Playback and Capture streams by right clicking on the sliders and selecting an option from the "Move" submenu. There were several other small cosmetic fixes (like using the right icons for devices/applications in the GUI) too and a really annoying race condition due to a singleton class taking too long to start up that got fixed too. All in all I'm rather pleased with the outcome for now. It's not perfect by any means (if the PA server dies there is not much feedback), but it's certainly a good start. Failing any massive problems with the build I've just submitted to Mandriva Cooker, I'll sync this to subversion trunk for everyone else to play with. I had to make more changes to the core of kmix than I originally intended. I've tried to ensure I always remain backwards compatible but some subtle differences in profile loading certainly exists. I'm not sure if these are avoidable (I don't think so) so this may be a sticking point... time will tell. Have fun Share and Enjoy: [Less]

If you're using the snd-hda-intel module and you've got audio problems, you might want to try out manually using a specific model, the list is in e.g. patch_realtek.c:11687 static const char *alc268_models[ALC268_MODEL_LAST] = { 11688 ... [More] [ALC267_QUANTA_IL1] = "quanta-il1", 11689 [ALC268_3ST] = "3stack", 11690 [ALC268_TOSHIBA] = "toshiba", 11691 [ALC268_ACER] = "acer", 11692 [ALC268_ACER_DMIC] = "acer-dmic", 11693 [ALC268_ACER_ASPIRE_ONE] = "acer-aspire", 11694 [ALC268_DELL] = "dell", 11695 [ALC268_ZEPTO] = "zepto", 11696 #ifdef CONFIG_SND_DEBUG 11697 [ALC268_TEST] = "test", 11698 #endif 11699 [ALC268_AUTO] = "auto",e.g.sudo modprobe -r snd-hda-intel; sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel model=testSee here for more.(...) -- Click to read the entire post.

Yesterday was my last day at NVidia. I’ve worked with the Embedded Software team there for the last 15 months, specifically on the system software for a Linux based stack that you will see some time next year. I’ve had a great time there, learning ... [More] new things, and doing everything from tweaking bit-banging I²C implementations with a CRO to tracking down alleged compiler bugs (I’m looking at you -fstrict-aliasing) by wading through ARM assembly. As some of you might already know, my next step, which has had me bouncing off the walls for the last month, is to join the great folks at Collabora Multimedia working on the PulseAudio sound server. I’ll be working from home here, in Bangalore (in your face, 1.5-hour commute!). It is incredibly exciting for me to be working with a talented bunch of folks and actively contributing to open source software as part of my work! More updates as they happen. :) [Less]
