Getting back into the saddle and filtering through unhandled mail. John Baldwin sent me the following mail. Just checked, and it appears the 2.2 (and 3.0) kernels need a patch to allow BROOKTREE_ALLOC_PAGES in kernel config files again, as the comment in brooktree848.c says: /* * Allocate enough memory for: * 768x576 RGB 16 or YUV (16 storage bits/pixel) = 884736 = 216 pages * * You may override this using the options "BROOKTREE_ALLOC_PAGES=value" * in your kernel configuration file. */ Could somone commit this?

I have checked this by plugging in headphones and covering my ears and that is what I can hear. I can also get the mic/speakers to feedback if I turn up the volume too loud. This behaviour is not constant, it doesn't happen when the machine is booted under NT and it doesn't start until I see the pcm0 device detected in the boot sequence. So, either I have something set wrong in the BIOS, but I don't think I do. Or I have something accessing the devices and not allowing other applications to use the mic or the speakers. Does anyone know how I might check to see what I might have that could be doing this? Are there known applications that might cause this kind of trouble? I really would like to get SpeakFreely up and working and I would like to be able to use sound out for things like music and sound effects. Any insight on this would be appreciated. Thanks Colin E.

I'm using fxtv 0.47 with FreeBSD 3.0-BETA, and I was wondering... | |I've got a miro pctv-board and in windows I can finetune channels to get |it just right. With fxtv,however, I can't seem to find such a |function. Is it available or is it hard to implement? You see, with fxtv |I can only get about half of the channels I can reach in right, whereas |with the finetuning I can get 'em all. Usuallywhen I change to a channel |which needs finetuning I can see a glimpse or so of the channel while |it's changing channels, but then it's gone and all I can get is the |sound. No picture at all. Any ideas? Thanks for you rhepl :) There isn't a progressive fine tuning function right now (e.g. up/down .01 MHz). However, if the frequencies your channels exist on are fairly consistent (don't fluctuate oddly due to weather/conditions), you can set the frequencies explicitly using a syntax like this (see channel PBS): Fxtv.antennaStationList: NBC(3) PBS(f716.69) Wouldn't be hard to implement a progressive find tuning I don't think, except (it's been a while) but I'm not sure whether if you set a channel on the bktr driver via channel number whether you can turn around and query the frequency (the channel<->frequency mappings are in the driver). However, before you go to the trouble to find out what frequencies you need, you might double-check that there isn't a channel set already defined in the driver that maps to what you need. These are set via the: Fxtv.antennaFreqSet: nabcst Fxtv.cableFreqSet: cableirc resources. Have you tried irccable, hrccable, and weurope? Shot in the dark, but they might be what you need.

I wasn't getting any video unless the window was obscured. The |verdict from the list was that DGA wasn't supported by my S3 card. (Again, sorry for the delay in the response. I'm playing catch-up.) Well, I don't know about that. I'm assuming you're running with XFree86 since you said the dga test program works. If XFREE86, and if the X server is local, and if XFree reports DGA is not available (see "xdpyinfo | grep DGA" -- if no lines get printed, it's not), then you will see: XF86DGA extension not found If you don't see this (or any other DGA errors) when running fxtv from a terminal window, then Fxtv thinks DGA is there and it's trying to use it. If you don't see anything, but you do when the window is partially occluded, then likely DGA is reporting the wrong base address for the frame buffer, and the Bt card is dumping video "somewhere else" in virtual memory (not good). Looks like Roger explained why partially occluded works and how to force that mode all the time, so I'll skip that. |But the wierd thing is that the dga test program that comes with |XFree86 and dtv (which definitely uses DGA) both work. | |This implies that DGA is supported on my card and that there is |possibly a problem with fxtv. Do you have any ideas here? How can I |help track this down. Hmmm. First thing to do with all these problems is run: fxtv -debug startup Please post the output. In particular, notice the base address for direct video. For example: XF86DGAQueryVersion() succeeded - vers = 1.00 BaseAddr = 0xe0000000, Pitch = 1600, BankSize/RamSize = 4194304/4194304 ^^^^^^^^^^ This should agree with the frame buffer base address reported by your X server when it starts up ("if" it reports this).

I was using 15 bit depth because that's what dtv requires. Here's a clue: I retried running 'dga' (the test program) for the first time since upgrading to 3.3.2. It has always only worked for me at 8 bit -- not 15 or 16 -- but now it successfully causes a reboot.

I had to make some changes to the Makefile for fxtv to get it to build on 3.0-RELEASE; not having any other ports installed but just the packages for the various required libraries. This includes packages for gmake, tiff, jpeg, Xpm and Xaw3d. The problems were: 1) libtiff needs floor() and pow() - thus -lm has to be added to the link line. 2) If you have installed packages & not ports; you can get a successful link by adding -rpath-link /usr/local/lib after the -Lxxx arguments on the link line. If this isn't there, the jpeg shared libraries won't be found. With the following changes, I got fxtv built and running: *** Makefile.ori Mon Jun 1 02:06:40 1998 --- Makefile Mon Nov 30 08:37:18 1998 *************** *** 9,15 **** override CF_VERS = -DVERS_STR=\"0.47\" override INC = -I$(X11BASE)/include -I/usr/local/include \ -I/usr/local/include/tiff34 -I. ! override LD_INC = -L$(X11BASE)/lib -L/usr/local/lib override CFLAGS = -O2 -m486 $(INC) $(CF_VERS) ifeq ($(DEBUG),YES) override CFLAGS = -DDEBUG -g $(INC) $(CF_VERS) --- 9,15 ---- override CF_VERS = -DVERS_STR=\"0.47\" override INC = -I$(X11BASE)/include -I/usr/local/include \ -I/usr/local/include/tiff34 -I. ! override LD_INC = -L$(X11BASE)/lib -L/usr/local/lib -rpath-link /usr/local/lib override CFLAGS = -O2 -m486 $(INC) $(CF_VERS) ifeq ($(DEBUG),YES) override CFLAGS = -DDEBUG -g $(INC) $(CF_VERS) *************** *** 20,26 **** override LDFLAGS = $(LD_INC) override LIBS = -ltiff34 -lXaw3d -lXmu -lXt -lXpm -lSM -lICE \ ! -lXext -lX11 ifeq ($(HAVE_XFREE86),YES) override LIBS += -lXxf86dga -lXxf86vm endif --- 20,26 ---- override LDFLAGS = $(LD_INC) override LIBS = -ltiff34 -lXaw3d -lXmu -lXt -lXpm -lSM -lICE \ ! -lXext -lX11 -lm ifeq ($(HAVE_XFREE86),YES) override LIBS += -lXxf86dga -lXxf86vm endif To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Mon Nov 30 06:46:09 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id GAA04020 for freebsd-multimedia-outgoing; Mon, 30 Nov 1998 06:46:09 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from cogsci.ed.ac.uk (stevenson144.cogsci.ed.ac.uk [129.215.144.1]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id GAA04015 for ; Mon, 30 Nov 1998 06:46:03 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from richard@cogsci.ed.ac.uk) Received: from doyle.cogsci.ed.ac.uk (richard@doyle [129.215.110.29]) by cogsci.ed.ac.uk (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id OAA16750 for ; Mon, 30 Nov 1998 14:45:31 GMT Date: Mon, 30 Nov 1998 14:45:30 GMT Message-Id: <18913.199811301445@doyle.cogsci.ed.ac.uk> From: Richard Tobin Subject: Yamaha PCI sound card To: multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Organization: just say no Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I have a Yamaha Waveforce 192XG PCI suondcard. This uses the Yamaha YMF724 chip. I wrote a trivial driver that does nothing more than enable "legacy audio" (ie SBPro and MPU401) compatibility mode. This allows the FreeBSD sound drivers (old voxware or Luigi's) to recognise the card, but it doesn't make it work - it just hangs (interruptibly) when I use /dev/audio, and produces no sound when the midi device is used. I guess that this is because of the differences between ISA and PCI interrupts and DMA. The chip purports to support plain IRQs (and it's in that mode), and has two modes of ISA DMA compatibility: PC/PCI (which seems to require motherboard support - you connect a cable from the card to a socket which my motherboard doesn't have) and Distributed DMA (D-DMA). I don't really understand this stuff; can anyone give me some pointers? -- Richard To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Mon Nov 30 08:50:05 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id IAA14205 for freebsd-multimedia-outgoing; Mon, 30 Nov 1998 08:50:05 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from fleming.cs.strath.ac.uk (fleming.cs.strath.ac.uk [130.159.196.126]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id IAA14102 for ; Mon, 30 Nov 1998 08:49:52 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from roger@cs.strath.ac.uk) Received: from muir-10 (roger@muir-10.cs.strath.ac.uk [130.159.148.10]) by fleming.cs.strath.ac.uk (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id QAA21650 Mon, 30 Nov 1998 16:49:31 GMT Message-ID: <3662CC9A.1CFB@cs.strath.ac.uk> Date: Mon, 30 Nov 1998 16:49:30 +0000 From: Roger Hardiman Organization: University of Strathclyde X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.04Gold (X11; I; OSF1 V4.0 alpha) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Hauppauge EEPROM contents Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Just though I should post this for the archive before I loose it. Here is my list of the Hauppauge EEPROM contents which I built up for the FreeBSD bt848 driver. If you want further details, I can provide about 20 EEPROM contents dumps from different USA and European cards. I also have email contacts inside Hauppauge who can supply info when we require it. Special thanks to Steve Passe, Amancio Hasty and Randall Hopper and all the others who send in EEPROM contents to me or to the FreeBSD multimedia list. There are 5 datablocks, each can vary in size. Block 1 ======= This is of the format 84 11 00 00 04 followed by 15 bytes or 84 12 00 00 05 followed by 16 bytes In this block, byte 6 is the chipset type (see below) byte 9 is the tuner type (see below) byte 11 and 12 are the model number I'm sure byte 13 is the revision but I cannot decode it. There is also a byte which reports the ability to get Radio but I've forgotten it. Block 2 ======= 84 0a 00 01 01 20 77 00 40 This seems to be common for all cards Block 3 ======= 84 then 3 bytes Bytes 1,2 and 3 are the serial number Block 4 ======= This varies if you have No Stereo decoder, TDA decoder or MSP decoder Within this block, byte 3 tells us the stereo decoder chip type (or no stereo decoder) If byte 3 is 00 == No stereo decoder chip. The block is 5 bytes. EG. 74 02 01 00 03 If byte 3 indicates a MSP chip, the block is 5 bytes, EG 74 02 01 06 02 If byte 3 indicates a TDA chip, the block is 8 bytes, EG 77 02 01 03 03 43 17 12 byte 5, 6 and 7 are used in programming the TDA (the TDA dbx alignment bytes). Each TDA chip needs different values found during card calibration at Hauppage. Block 5 ======= This is 79 followed by a one byte checksum Free Space ========== the remainer of the eeprom is either filled with 00 or with ff.

For what it's worth, I have the same problem with xgalaga and xboing using Luigi's driver (pcm, included with 2.2.7-R) with an A/Open AW35 Pro card and an older 8-bit SB clone. When I used Voxware with the 8-bit card the sound in xgalaga and xboing worked fine.

This is not a AD1816 specific problem, since I experienced it with a Genuine Soundblaster32 PnP too. A rather dumb method to avoid this is to do a SNDCTL_DSP_SYNC ioctl after every write call.

I doubt it! There are two "AGC" in the Bt848 -- one refers to AD overflows, the other one to chroma. For the first one (register 0x068, pg.103 in my manual, "CRUSH" bit) the relevant piece of code is /* sync detect threshold */ #if 0 #define SYNC_LEVEL (BT848_ADC_RESERVED | \ BT848_ADC_CRUSH) /* threshold ~125 mV */ #else #define SYNC_LEVEL (BT848_ADC_RESERVED | \ BT848_ADC_SYNC_T) /* threshold ~75 mV */ #endif The "CRUSH" bit is disabled by default (at least in my copy of the sources) because I found out that the adaptation process is one-way: it reduces the gain, but never brings it up again. So when you have bad signal (usually from the tuner) and the capture chip looks for sync pulses in the wrong place, the image turns rapidly black. I think you don't want this feature, anyways. The other "AGC" i see is in the registers E_SCLOOP and O_SCLOOP and it seems to affect the chroma component. Looking at the code, this feature is disabled when opening the device, and enabled in the various functions which build the bt848 programs yuvpack_prog(), yuv422_prog(), yuv12_prog() -- i am not sure if this is a mistake or it is intentional. You can easily try to disable it yourself by commenting out the three pairs of lines in the above functions. > If possible, could you point my how to do it? > Other ideas? be sure that the problem does not come from the camera (e.g. most Camcorder have AGC and often there is no way to disable it) or lighting (especially with neon lamps, when you have a drift between the camera and mains frequency). 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 1 05:20:30 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id FAA26650 for freebsd-multimedia-outgoing; Tue, 1 Dec 1998 05:20:30 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from bastuba.partitur.se (bastuba.partitur.se [193.219.246.194]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id FAA26644 for ; Tue, 1 Dec 1998 05:20:25 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from kudo@partitur.se) Received: from partitur.se (tb303.partitur.se [193.219.246.230]) by bastuba.partitur.se (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id OAA13164; Tue, 1 Dec 1998 14:19:56 +0100 (CET) (envelope-from kudo@partitur.se) Message-ID: <3663ECFB.A7C0AA2@partitur.se> Date: Tue, 01 Dec 1998 14:19:55 +0100 From: Patrik Kudo Organization: Partitur Informationsteknik X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.5 [en] (X11; I; FreeBSD 3.0-BETA i386) X-Accept-Language: sv,en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: FreeBSD Multimedia mailinglist Subject: Linux Flash Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi, I just downloaded the beta of FlashPlayer for Linux.

A small prog to set the registers at runtime could help me very much. Primary I would absolutly no gain control changes while transmitting. This should be done before transmitting. Later it should stay. But I see no way for this. So I belive some regression to the automaic gain control could be enough. > be sure that the problem does not come from the camera (e.g. most > Camcorder have AGC and often there is no way to disable it) or > lighting (especially with neon lamps, when you have a drift between the > camera and mains frequency). I am shure the camera is not the reason. (Panasonic SVHS-CAM) Some other cards (Parallax, SunVideo, SGI Indy: Vino) would never change the brightness of background. That increase the quality rapidly and decrease the bandwith by faktor 2. If there is no solution by the software to freeze or even limit the restless AGC, I probably try to build an external referencevoltage for manual adjusting of gain control. But this should be the very last.

Thanks. I didn't realize the bt878 wasn't supported under 2.2.x. Your drivers worked just fine with the following patch.

I was thinking of a Yamaha the "pcm" driver does not support midi (unless you use timidity) no matter which card you use. the old "voxware" driver has patches floating around for wavetable support on the AWExx cards (but don't ask me about these). the commercial "OSS" driver supports midi on a number of cards. Basing on your requirements i suggest that you go for OSS. or give up midi support and you can une the pcm driver with the Yamaha YMF715 or similar (OPL3 alone refers to the FM synthesizer). luigi > OPL3 based sound card, but I hear they aren't fully supported. > I know most of the latest SB-type sound cards aren't supported > very well since Creative Labs, in it's infinite wisdom, has > decided not to produce proper info on their new chipsets, so > I know a cheap little SB is also out of the question. > > Any ideas? > > TIA, > > Manu > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Fri Dec 4 12:59:04 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id MAA19779 for freebsd-multimedia-outgoing; Fri, 4 Dec 1998 12:59:04 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from hwembaz0001.honeywell.com (hwembaz0001.cas.honeywell.com [129.239.10.68]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id MAA19772 for ; Fri, 4 Dec 1998 12:59:01 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from Emmanuel.Gravel@CAS.honeywell.com) Received: by hwembaz0001.Honeywell.COM with Internet Mail Service (5.5.2232.9) id ; Fri, 4 Dec 1998 13:58:44 -0700 Message-ID: <417E587B9C99D111A1010000F803B7CE4DDA20@az77-revere.bcasd.az.honeywell.com> From: "Gravel, Emmanuel (AZ77)" To: freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: RE: Best sound card for FreeBSD?

OK, I can give up MIDI. All I need to do now is learn how to setup timidity properly. I just thought there were cards for which the MIDI capabilities were properly used by FreeBSD drivers. No prob. >you can une the pcm driver with the Yamaha YMF715 or >similar (OPL3 alone refers to the FM synthesizer). Thanks! I had read a thread that mentionned problems in seting up this line of cards (YMFzzz) but reading to the end showed the person had successfully setup the card without a problem, by figuring out the proper lines to add to the kernel config.

It appeared that the port was installed somehow, since I'm using most of KDE, and their KMID (or KMIDI) app uses timidity. For some reason (this was while using the VOX drivers on an SB Vibra) the app didn't work properly. It couldn't find timidity's config file, when it was where it was supposed to be. There'll be quite some reading ahead of me for when I really want to use it. No biggie. Not the first thing on my list (far from it). Thanks for the info!

The /usr/ports box that is. Beware, there are 5 MB in patches to download and another 8 MB if you want them (you have to manually install them). I choose both. I'm going to dig into the configs One Of These Days and change the guitars over to the original patches. On some songs, they just don't sound right. Other than that, it's ok. FWIW, on my AMD K5-75 / 32MB, timidity takes ~15-20 % as listed in top, but the memory use varies. One song, Ruiner by Nine Inch Nails, peaks out at ~ 32 %. It's an aural cornucopia of noise. Amp takes ~40 - 50 % on a 128k MP3, and splay takes ~ 55 - 65 %. I do wish I had the OPL3 midi though. It's a pain to remember I can't test something that needs the dsp because I'm listening to PCM audio.

Ah, multitasking. what you want is really multiple devices mixed to the same output. You can do it in software (but it is highly cpu-intensive to do the resampling to the highest resolution in use which usually is CD quality) or in hardware. E.g. the Yamaha YMF724 claims to support 64 hw voices with resampling and mixing -- too bad there seems to be no way to get the programming specs for that chip, because the card costs US$30 retail :( luigi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Sat Dec 5 02:40:11 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id CAA28195 for freebsd-multimedia-outgoing; Sat, 5 Dec 1998 02:40:11 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from ninbox.ml.org (hsv1-113.airnet.net [207.242.81.113]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id CAA28148 for ; Sat, 5 Dec 1998 02:39:41 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from kris@airnet.net) Received: from airnet.net (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by ninbox.ml.org (8.9.1/8.8.5) with ESMTP id EAA01117; Sat, 5 Dec 1998 04:31:03 -0600 (CST) Message-ID: <36690B66.F754ED3A@airnet.net> Date: Sat, 05 Dec 1998 04:31:02 -0600 From: Kris Kirby Organization: Absolutely None!

I don't care if the hardware patches suck. I just hate to quit listening to midi to play a wave. Yow! 64 voices? > or in hardware.

That is a Windows program. This mailing list is for FreeBSD. I'm sorry, but you won't be able to get help here - very few of us use Windows at all. However, I would very much appreciate if you tell me how you got the idea of sending the request here - we're trying to find what make people believe this is a mailing list where it would be OK to send windows questions, and try to fix it so they don't get confused.
