Now, I hope you've had lots of fun discussing the origins of multimedia, but let's get back to my original question. :-) I'm trying to establish a transmission between two FreeBSD boxes using vat, as a test before I have mbone turned on for our subnet. I can add the session to sd ok, and it shows up, I can open it, but vat appears to be having trouble accessing the audio. 1. On the two machines, the other will drop out of vat (grey-out). Restarting vat brings it back, but only temporary. 2. I get no audio from the other machine, or from the tests. I only get a little `blip' when I quit out of vat. Vat's stats show that packets are getting sent, however. 3. I have trouble with vat losing the audio device (it's bottom titlebar turns italic), and the microphone's VU meters don't move, except the first time I fire it up. If I open the menu, then the microphone doesn't respond in vat. I'm guessing that vat is having trouble communicating with the audio system.

An update on my fight with VAT. 1. Thanks for the pointers with sd and .sd.tcl. You didn't tell me, however, the format of .sd.tcl :( I poked around in sd_start.tcl and found out you have to add a "proc start_vat {} {...}" structure around the line you gave me (I'm no tcl/tk programmer, sorry). 2. I finally got VAT 3.2 to play some audio. But that's it. This is pretty strange. I have vmix and vat up, with vmix pointed at /dev/dsp0 for record and play. (I figure I can swap back to vmix if I want to change the input/output mode.) well, I hit the ``play'' button and no go. So I go playing with the ``record'' and `play' buttons. Well, when I hit record, the output vu on vat moves! But no audio! So when I hit "play" on vmix, out comes about one second of transmitted audio. Then I have to clear both boxes, hit record for a sec, then play again. I get it piecemeal. :) If I hit record on and off real quick I get about the same amount of audio output when I go back to play. 3. I tried vat4.0a2 but ld.so dings me for not having a tk4.0 library. Looks like I need tk4.0, which is on the CD but I didn't install not knowing how much the other programs would like it. Should I install it and give it a go? 4. vmix works perfectly with the voxware mixers. And it looks pretty decent too :) 5. Has anyone asked Creative if duplex audio is even possible on the sb series? I remember the topic coming up on one of my mailing lists (which is now defunct), and I don't remember if the Creative rep answered it or not. 6. Should I keep echoing messages into both multimedia conferences? Thanks for your help on this. I'd be willing to serve as a guinea pig for any attempts at getting the sb better supported. I'm no kernel hacker though, upgrading the sound driver may be all I can do without good docs and/or getting totally lost :) Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@gladstone.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major From owner-freebsd-multimedia Thu Jan 11 11:46:44 1996 Return-Path: owner-multimedia Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id LAA14265 for multimedia-outgoing; Thu, 11 Jan 1996 11:46:44 -0800 (PST) Received: from omega.physik.fu-berlin.de (omega.physik.fu-berlin.de [130.133.3.51]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id LAA14257 for ; Thu, 11 Jan 1996 11:46:39 -0800 (PST) Received: from mordillo (oberon.physik.fu-berlin.de [130.133.3.126]) by omega.physik.fu-berlin.de (8.7.1/8.7.1) with ESMTP id UAA30297 for ; Thu, 11 Jan 1996 20:46:28 +0100 (MET) Received: (from graichen@localhost) by mordillo (8.6.12/8.6.12) id TAA00680 for multimedia@freebsd.org; Thu, 11 Jan 1996 19:11:36 +0100 From: Thomas Graichen Message-Id: <199601111811.TAA00680@mordillo> Subject: soundcard To: multimedia@freebsd.org Date: Thu, 11 Jan 1996 19:11:35 +0100 (MET) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] Content-Type: text Sender: owner-multimedia@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk just some questions: what can i expect from a cheap soundblaster compatible card under FreeBSD ? what are the differences between all the sb 16, sb pro and so on ? i wan't to play around a bit with nas, vat and so on - can i use all this with a soundblaster x ? can i simultaniously record and play with it ? what samplerates i can get in mono and stereo ? is it better to buy nothing than such a cheap card or is such a chaep card better than nothing ? thanks in advance t _______________________________________________________||___________________ __|| Perfection is reached, not when there is no __|| thomas graichen longer anything to add, but when there __|| freie universitaet berlin is no longer anything to take away __|| fachbereich physik __|| - Antoine de Saint-Exupery - __|| graichen@mail.physik.fu-berlin.de ___________________________||__________________graichen@FreeBSD.org_________ From owner-freebsd-multimedia Thu Jan 11 11:47:24 1996 Return-Path: owner-multimedia Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id LAA14349 for multimedia-outgoing; Thu, 11 Jan 1996 11:47:24 -0800 (PST) Received: from omega.physik.fu-berlin.de (omega.physik.fu-berlin.de [130.133.3.51]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) with ESMTP id LAA14322 for ; Thu, 11 Jan 1996 11:47:12 -0800 (PST) Received: from mordillo (oberon.physik.fu-berlin.de [130.133.3.126]) by omega.physik.fu-berlin.de (8.7.1/8.7.1) with ESMTP id UAA22980; Thu, 11 Jan 1996 20:47:05 +0100 (MET) Received: (from graichen@localhost) by mordillo (8.6.12/8.6.12) id UAA01122; Thu, 11 Jan 1996 20:26:23 +0100 From: Thomas Graichen Message-Id: <199601111926.UAA01122@mordillo> Subject: Re: VAT: The Problems Continue To: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu Date: Thu, 11 Jan 1996 20:26:22 +0100 (MET) Cc: multimedia@rah.star-gate.com, multimedia@freebsd.org In-Reply-To: from "Doug White" at Jan 10, 96 08:12:13 pm X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] Content-Type: text Sender: owner-multimedia@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk hasn't Doug White said ? ... > > 6.

DO NOT use VMIX This looks equivalent to the ``vat-and-half.gz'' that was on rah for a while. I just ran it and get the test tones! This is good. I will need to test it with my other machine (who's operator is on a job right now). > vat-4.0a2.bin.tar.gz requires latest sound driver and it has > full-duplex audio support and does not > required vmix for cards whose CS4231 works > in full duplex mode such as the AudioTrix Pro > and the GUS PnP.

Now that vat-and-half appears to be working (w/o the tk40 libs, strangely), I'll go check it on my other machine. I'll report back if it's working.

(so, for example, if /dev/audio is not accessible to your process, because it's chmod 600, vat looks dead even if you are getting audio from the net) -brad Doug White wrote: ... >2.
