I tried things out with your patches, and without the overrides in my config file. Unfortunately, it didn't probe correctly: bktr0: rev 0x11 int a irq 17 on pci0.11.0 bti2c0: iicbb0 on bti2c0 iicbus0 on iicbb0 master-only smbus0 on bti2c0 smb0: on smbus0 addr 0x92 Miro TV, Temic NTSC tuner, dbx stereo.

I've not tried to install the card yet because I just read in the sys/i386/isa/snd/CARDS file that said: CHIPSET: various PCI cards from Ensoniq, OPTI, CreativeLabs. This code _cannot_ work on these cards as it is now, since I don't think they can use the ISA DMA controller. As there are no data sheets available for these PCI cards, none of them is supported at the moment. Is that still the case, or is this file out of date?

From: David Kelly Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Sun, 06 Dec 1998 20:57:43 -0600 Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org In the continuing saga of my awful-sounding AOpen AW37 not-Pro, have been studying Luigi's PCM source code and the Crystal Semiconductor documentation for the CS4235 chip. Have not found where/if the pcm driver invokes the calibrate mode implemented in register 9, bits D3 and D4. Actually I'm fairly certain the hardware doesn't get calibrated. Register definition on page 36, How To Calibrate on page 67. If pcm is forced to detect the card as a SB Pro, it sounds fine. Possibly in SB mode Crystal Semiconductor sneaks in a calibrate? Considering I'm the one that has the problem and can replicate it, have been studying the code looking for the appropriate place to calibrate. mss_attach() in ad1848.c looks like a good place as the calibration routine doesn't need to be run but once per reset and takes time. Was thinking of using mss_detect() but my pnp-detected card doesn't appear to use that routine as there is no mss_detect output in dmesg while there is mss_attach(): Probing for PnP devices: CSN 1 Vendor ID: CSCd925 [0x25d9630e] Serial 0xffffffff Comp ID: @@@0000 [0x00000000] mss_attach 1 at 0x530 irq 5 dma 1:3 flags 0x13 pcm1 (CS423x/Yamaha sn 0xffffffff) at 0x530-0x537 irq 5 drq 1 flags 0x13 on isa Because the calibration can take time and could possibly fail to complete in a reasonable amount of time, I presume the DELAY() routine also used by mss_detect() is safe to use?

The good news is that there is an experimental driver for the es1370 (which could be yours -- look at the controller chip). I have the playback working on -stable, some problems on recording.

Currently my head is set on an AOpen AWE 37 for sound, and a Haupauge video capture board, but don't yet have a camera found for it. There was a Haupauge with a camera included that FreeBSD definitely supported but naturally is discontinued now. What is currently the most supported and not discontinued setup for doing voice/video with FreeBSD?

Close enough? Let me quote Walter Lord's page: "The review includes the Creative Labs PCI 128 and the Creative Labs AudioPCI. While the PCI 128 fares well, the CL AudioPCI does not. However, keep in mind that the CL AudioPCI uses the ES 1371 processor and a cheaper CODEC whereas the PCI 128 and the original Ensoniq AudioPCI use an ES 1370 and a better CODEC." The ES1371 depends on a different CODEC, something that is "AC97 compliant". What is your CODEC chip labeled - AKM4540? But at least your problem is solvable, for we've got specs.

I have 3 chips on my card (plus the usual assortment of connectors, resistors, caps and VRs and a xtal). The largest chip (100 pin) just says: ENSONIQ ES1371 AudioPCI 1371-0001-01 A8A2111 9819 USA The next larger one (48 pin) says: TriTech (or maybe InTech) 28023 9806 (Chip directory says 2802* parts are memory, but it doesn't have typical memory packaging, so that's doubtful). The third one has 8 pins and says 4565 80196 JRC Which has a part number kinda close to the AKM4540 that you talk about. It is located near the audio I/O portion of the card, so it might be a codec. The chip directory says: Colour transient improvement circuit DIL18 Phillips but it doesn't have a Phillips mark on it (I don't know what JRC is, or I'd try to find it on the web). The box calls the card a Creative Ensoniq AudioPCI card, model ES1371, plus a whole slew of specs that are techno-babble to me. : But at least your problem is solvable, for we've got specs. What kind of timeframe are we looking at? I'm wondering if I should take the card back and get something else, or if I can wait until, say, new years, and have driver support. How complete are the specs? Is it something that one can write a driver for? Is that being worked on?

I have a small and cheap Sony "Z-cam" or whatever is called (approx cigarette-box size) which works reasonably well. As for capture card, if you need only video capture and no tuner, I have seen a cheap grabber-only card from Avermedia (www.avermedia.com) which sells for about US$65.

If you think about it 4 digits (or 5, or 6) cannot possibly identify each and every chip on earth, so before looking them you need at least to know the manufacturer and the category of the device. cheers luigi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Tue Dec 8 00:12:45 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id AAA27240 for freebsd-multimedia-outgoing; Tue, 8 Dec 1998 00:12:45 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from mailgw1.fhg.de (mailgw1.fhg.de [153.96.1.2]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id AAA27214 for ; Tue, 8 Dec 1998 00:12:39 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from runge@egd.igd.fhg.de) Received: by mailgw1.fhg.de (fhg.de); Tue, 8 Dec 1998 09:11:46 +0100 (MET) X-ENV: (mailgw1.fhg.de) runge@egd.igd.fhg.de -> freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.ORG.VIA-SMTP X-BULK-CHECK-1-981208.09.11.29: egd.egd.igd.fhg.de [153.96.43.2] Received: by mailgw1.fhg.de (fhg.de) with SMTP; Tue, 8 Dec 1998 09:11:23 +0100 (MET) from brussel.egd.igd.fhg.de Received: by brussel.egd.igd.fhg.de; Tue, 8 Dec 98 09:09:08 +0100 Message-Id: <366CDEA4.91133486@rostock.zgdv.de> Date: Tue, 08 Dec 1998 09:09:08 +0100 From: Thomas Runge Organization: http://www.rostock.zgdv.de X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.08 [en] (X11; I; SunOS 5.6 sun4u) Mime-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: FM tuner drivers?

Who said that it was discontinued? All I heard was that Goldstar that manufactured the cameras for Hauppauge (at least the European PAL version) had some camera-lens problems and had to pull back 3 weeks production of cameras. Hauppauge are supposed to start shipping these kits again last week. Of course, there is a great backlog right now (about 800 in small Sweden alone) but hopefully that will be resolved in the near future. /P To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Tue Dec 8 06:58:25 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id GAA02170 for freebsd-multimedia-outgoing; Tue, 8 Dec 1998 06:58:25 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from arthur.axion.bt.co.uk (arthur.axion.bt.co.uk [132.146.5.4]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id GAA02163 for ; Tue, 8 Dec 1998 06:58:21 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from guilhem.ensuque@bt-sys.bt.co.uk) Received: from rambo (actually rambo.futures.bt.co.uk) by arthur (local) with SMTP; Tue, 8 Dec 1998 14:57:06 +0000 Received: from mussel.futures.bt.co.uk (actually mussel) by rambo with SMTP (PP); Tue, 8 Dec 1998 13:48:20 +0000 Received: by mussel.futures.bt.co.uk with Microsoft Exchange (IMC 4.0.837.3) id <01BE22B0.326D87A0@mussel.futures.bt.co.uk>; Tue, 8 Dec 1998 13:39:36 -0000 Message-ID: From: Guilhem Ensuque To: "'multimedia@freebsd.org'" Subject: [FBSD-multimedia] where can i get real media samples ?

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hello all. I am trying to convert some of my old LP's to something a little more portable and am interested in capturing some audio tracks with my sound card. I am, however, having trouble locating an audio editing program that can gracefully handle large files. I want to be able to record the tracks in 16 bit stereo at 44.1 kHz (CD quality). Some of the tracks are in excess of 8+ minutes. After capturing, I would like to use the editor to trim the ends and filter out any pops and clicks. I looked through the 'audio' section of the ports collection and tried 'dap' and 'mxv' but being memory based editors, they maxed out my system fairly quickly. Any ideas or pointers on where to find a disk file based editor that can handle these monsters? - K.C.

I do end-trimming with dd--works quite nicely on raw PCM files, although not so well on files that have headers, like wav. No matter-- you can easily convert back and forth with sox. Fade-ins and fade-outs are quite handily done with the pcmfade utility that comes with tosha. Pops and clicks... ahh, there's the rub. So far I've not been able to find any utility that does this. I'm not averse to a little programming; but I don't know of an audio equivalent of Knuth, and would be much obliged to anyone who can point me to some pseudocode or ideas on Windows Cooledit style click/pop removal. I wrote my own curses-based audio recording program, and I know how to crunch PCM data and calculate loudness in dB and stuff like that, but the identification and removal of the pops is beyond me. ~Ben To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Tue Dec 8 22:13:21 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id WAA07234 for freebsd-multimedia-outgoing; Tue, 8 Dec 1998 22:13:21 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from zippy.cdrom.com (zippy.cdrom.com [204.216.27.228]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id WAA07229 for ; Tue, 8 Dec 1998 22:13:20 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from jkh@zippy.cdrom.com) Received: from zippy.cdrom.com (jkh@localhost.cdrom.com [127.0.0.1]) by zippy.cdrom.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) with ESMTP id VAA19001; Tue, 8 Dec 1998 21:47:11 -0800 (PST) To: Ben Cottrell cc: freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Disk based audio editing tool?

Hmm. If you've already figured out how to calculate loudness then the elimination of pops just involves your existing work plus a little bit of statistics keeping. :) Clicks and pops actually have very high transient volume levels and stick out like a sore thumb on a 'scope. If you keep a running average of the median volume, you should probably be able to eliminate a surprising number of such transients with a very simple algorithm. No guarantees that this will work on punk rock music, of course, where such transients often count as artistic expression. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Wed Dec 9 00:23:28 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id AAA19407 for freebsd-multimedia-outgoing; Wed, 9 Dec 1998 00:23:28 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from basil.cdt.luth.se (basil.cdt.luth.se [130.240.64.67]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id AAA19400 for ; Wed, 9 Dec 1998 00:23:26 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from peppar@salt.cdt.luth.se) Received: from salt (peppar@salt.cdt.luth.se [130.240.64.42]) by basil.cdt.luth.se (8.8.8/8.7.3) with ESMTP id JAA26983; Wed, 9 Dec 1998 09:23:13 +0100 (MET) Message-Id: <199812090823.JAA26983@basil.cdt.luth.se> X-Mailer: exmh version 2.0.2 2/24/98 To: Edwin Culp cc: freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: WinCastTV w/Color Camara In-reply-to: Your message of "Tue, 08 Dec 1998 19:38:56 CST." <366DD4B0.892DC1A2@webwizard.org.mx> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Wed, 09 Dec 1998 09:23:12 +0100 From: Peter Parnes Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org There is some magic with that setup.

I expect those clicks and pops are at the angular velocity of the record - take a transform and put it through a notch filter at that frequency, kind of like the way they remove the gridding from piecewise scanned images. I expect they will really stick out in the frequency space. Peter -- Peter Dufault (dufault@hda.com) Realtime development, Machine control, HD Associates, Inc.

Could anyone point me to a place where I could find some video content for Real Player 5.0... I am trying to find a 'gooy' application to run on the networking stuff I have been doing under FreeBSD for an internal demo. I thought some video streaming could do... I installed a Real Server G2 on one of our Windoze PC (heresy, I know, but it's not intended for heavy duty usage, just a sample streaming demo) and I would like to put some content on it. I have realised that with FreeBSD i can only play real audio 3.0 and real video 5.0 content... The additional complication is that our testbed is on a private IP address and I don't want to use NAT to go to the outside world to stream content from outside (furthermore, the performance would not be as good as if i was streaming from my local server) so what I would need is a couple of 5.0 video and 3.0 audio....

This is really too bad, 'cause the thing sounds pretty nifty in Windows98. I guess this thing is out of the running as a FreeBSD PCI-based sound card. If anything changes, I'll pass it along.

XMP 1.1.1 worked just fine in FreeBSD 2.2.x, with Voxware 3.0. It freezes after a few notes on 3.0-CURRENT, using Voxware 3.5. THe author says this is due to a problem in select()...has this been looked at? I'd like to be able to play modules using the card instead of the software mixer. -- +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Lee Cremeans -- Manassas, VA, USA (WakkyMouse on DALnet and WTnet)| | lcremean@tidalwave.net| http://st-lcremean.tidalwave.net | To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Fri Dec 11 23:42:56 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id XAA29432 for freebsd-multimedia-outgoing; Fri, 11 Dec 1998 23:42:56 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from rover.village.org (rover.village.org [204.144.255.49]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id XAA29426 for ; Fri, 11 Dec 1998 23:42:53 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from imp@village.org) Received: from harmony [10.0.0.6] by rover.village.org with esmtp (Exim 1.71 #1) id 0zojhE-0001pd-00; Sat, 12 Dec 1998 00:42:36 -0700 Received: from harmony.village.org (localhost.village.org [127.0.0.1]) by harmony.village.org (8.9.1/8.8.3) with ESMTP id AAA07555 for ; Sat, 12 Dec 1998 00:41:14 -0700 (MST) Message-Id: <199812120741.AAA07555@harmony.village.org> To: multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Report: CREATIVE PCI-128 works... Date: Sat, 12 Dec 1998 00:41:13 -0700 From: Warner Losh Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I grabbed the patches that Joachim Kuekart pointed me at when I asked about the last card I purcahsed. Given the price differential, and the number of irons I have in the fire right now, I took the lazy way out and exchanged the ES 1371 for a PCI-128. After a few hours of testing and goofing off with the PCI-128 on my Dec 11 -current system, I'm starting to think that I make a good choice. I can play mp3 files and it appears that xgalaga makes noises that appear to be correct. I thought I'd let people know of my experience.

I plan on using it for playing MP3s, as well as wiring my CD and BT848 output through it. The "Jordan's Picks" section of the Handbook recommends the AWE 32, but I've spent a large part of today trying to find somewhere that sells them, and they appear to be discontinued. I've had a look through LINT, which does list an (undocumented) awe0 device, but I'm not sure if the AWE 64 and the AWE 32 are compatible. Failing that, what's a recommended card? Cheers, N -- C.R.F. Consulting -- we're run to make me richer. . .
