i have a M audio card 2496 using alsa driver i have sound, but the left channel plays at a lower level,i have dual boot with windows and card sounds fine on other OS, in my windows i use ASIO driver.
noticed this statement on wiki
As of 2007 there is also an experimental ASIO driver for Wine, a Windows compatibility layer for Linux. This wineasio driver uses the JACK sound server as its audio back-end and allows many ASIO-aware applications to run with low-latency under WINE
would this be my best option
has linux created a independent low latency driver
still find odd the the audio is lower in left channel
Just post the URL you get (similar to the RED URL in my example, but yours will be different).
If you can not get that, then run this with the no upload option:
/usr/sbin/alsa-info.sh --no-upload
which will create the file /tmp/alsa-info.txt. Copy that file and paste it on Pastebin.com and press submit. That will give you a URL address. Please post that URL here.
I do not receive the screen shot with share up load option, i get the first scree with details then second terminal screen states “a new version of ALSA-Info do you wish to download it?”
within a grey box i accept theni recieve this following message " Newer version detected: 0.4.59
To view the ChangeLog, please visit git.alsa-project.org Git - alsa-driver.git/history - utils/alsa-info.sh
ALSA-Info script has been downloaded as /tmp/alsa-info.9rq1aY1aM8.
Please re-run the script from new location." i went to temp folder and attempted to run, honestly only second week with linux so not sure i correctly can continue from this point
Hi there, I’m using the same soundcard with 11.3, had some issues too and I’ve had great help with the Envy24 Control Utility (be sure to click for some very usefull WIKI information on the program/card/routing-setup).
The program can be found in the alsa-tools package…
If when running the script you had selected NO, you do NOT wish to update, then you would have seen the screens I provided. Its not difficult, try it.
The second point was probably confusing due to your being relatively new to permissions in Linux. Almost all applications are kept in a common access area (to all users) and hence require root permissions to change. Hence it stands to reason that root permissions are needed to update the script.
So open a terminal, and this time type “su” to get root permissions, and then run the script again. The script will update this time. Then type “exit” to get rid of root permissions, and run the script again, and you will not get the ‘update’ message.
Now reference what you provided, please compare the "Mixer controls for card 0 [M2496] script content of your script output to that fortunately provided by flark who has the same audio device.
You will note some differences, where flark has set:
HW mixer set to Digital Mixer instead of PCM out in 2 locations
Simple mixer control H/W multi both “0” and “1” are ON instead of OFF
Simple mixer control multi both “0” and “1” are ON instead of OFF
Simple mixer control ‘Multi Track Rate Locking’,0 is ON instead of OFF
Simple mixer control ‘Multi Track Volume Rate’,0 is much higher at 54% instead of 19%
Reference installing alsa-tools, it is available on the openSUSE OSS repository. Just type:
su -c 'zypper in alsa-tools'
and look for the Envy24 Control Utility that flark refers to.
thanks again everyone for the help once i got the GUI installed for alsa noticed the volume level was lower for left channel a little nudge with the mouse, everything is solved, was not able to see left and right sliders until tool were installed
