Open Sound System

Hector here,
First off let me say thanks for all the information I've got from the site, forum and the community in general. I couldn't have got this far into what I'm doing without all the people who've gone to the trouble of writing all the articles and toot's etc. Not sure if that's a good thing or not yet though!

Anyway, I'm putting together two machines with Ubuntu 12.04, Mate desktop, OSS4 and Lynx L22 sound cards. The problem I'm having is that when I start osstest I get a burst of the test audio file and then nothing. When I try soundoff and soundon nothing happens, I just get a tiny click from the L22 as soundon turns back on, but I can't even get osstest to repeat the problem until I reboot. I've tried a couple of versions of OSS I'm currently running the one I build from Mercurial, some didn't see the card at all.

When I run osstest I get the following :

And when I run ossdetect I get :

Code: Select all: hectorsputer@hectorsputer-desktop:~$ sudo ossdetect -v Detected Lynx-L22 Studio Interface USB support available in the system, adding USB driver Detected Generic USB audio/MIDI device (BETA)

Thing is I don't have any USB audio or MIDI device connected, just a keyboard.

Interestingly when I try soundoff I get the following message :

Code: Select all: hectorsputer@hectorsputer-desktop:~$ sudo soundoff SNDCTL_MIX_READ: Input/output error SNDCTL_MIX_READ: Input/output error freq.pci <decimal value> (currently 33250127) (Read-only)

So I'm wondering what SNDCTL_MIX_READ does. I did have some timestamp issues during install some sort of a stmestamp related header file. I put this down to a compiler issue, reinstalled gcc and the build and install was fine.

In other tests like ossxmix the GUI works fine and lets me change settings etc. but in the background on the terminal window I'm getting continous error messages about FQ_VIDEO

Code: Select all: citradioadmin@citradioadmin-desktop:~$ ossxmix TRIM_OUT3/4 SNDCTL_MIX_READ: Input/output error TRIM_IN3/4 SNDCTL_MIX_READ: Input/output error FQ_VIDEO SNDCTL_MIX_READ: Input/output error TRIM_IN3/4 SNDCTL_MIX_READ: Input/output error TRIM_OUT3/4 SNDCTL_MIX_READ: Input/output error FQ_VIDEO SNDCTL_MIX_READ: Input/output error FQ_VIDEO SNDCTL_MIX_READ: Input/output error FQ_VIDEO SNDCTL_MIX_READ: Input/output error FQ_VIDEO

The FQ_VIDEO continues every second or two until I quit.

I'm intending to get the supported version as soon as I get these systems up and running, but I'm still prototyping and I've got some other issues to sort beforehand. I'm only bricking the system every second day now!

I'd really appreciate any help, I'm hoping to get OSS happening here as a matter of principle! It's been a good learning experience already!!

The "open source" version of OSS4 should not work with this card.

You need the closed source driver. It is in the package which can be downloaded from the 4Front site. It is free.

Hi Igor,
Funnily enough I believe I may actually be using the one from the site. My error, I build a couple of them last night...

From the code snippet :

Code: Select all: Sound subsystem and version: OSS 4.2 (b 2007/201207032126) (0x00040100)

And from the .tar file on the site :

Code: Select all: oss-linux-v4.2-2007-i686 (1)

I'm on a Mac at the moment so I can't open the .deb file but I guess they are the same. I checked the manifest and there seems to be some references to the L22 in there.

I guess I'll purge the lot and start again.

Thanks.

That ".tar file on the site" is not a "source code", it is already built as "closed source".

If you have Ubuntu, you may try this:

Step 1: Deinstall OSS4 with "purge". (Do not forget to remove the OSS folder /usr/lib/oss )

Step 2: Install Prerequisite Packages:

Code: Select all: sudo apt-get install -y binutils libgtk2.0-0 sed gcc libc6 sudo apt-get install -y libesd0 libsdl1.2debian-oss

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenS ... e_Packages

Step 3:

Installing from DEB File
Download the OSS deb file from the 4front website. Select the (DEB) packages, with the architecture you have in parenthesis. e.g. 64 bit use (amd64), and 32 bit use (x86). Click submit and download the package.
Code: Select all
sudo dpkg -i oss-linux*.deb

Thanks, I'll try that on my base image again.

Quick question though, is what's in the .tar not the same as what's in the .deb once it's uncompressed?

The OSS4 things should be the same.
Most probably, you did not install some "prerequisite packages", or made something wrong.
The manual is here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSound
But it is outdated.

What seems to be different is the so-called "microarchitecture":

Code: Select all: oss-linux-4.2-2007_i386.deb oss-linux-v4.2-2007-i686.tar.bz2

i686 is what you have on Arch Linux.
32bit Ubuntu seems to be optimized for i386. This means really ancient processors of the last century:
1985 Intel 80386 - i386 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_80386
This might be a reason why Ubuntu is so slow in comparison with Arch Linux.
Although, of course, Arch Linux today is buggy crap infected with PulseAudio and systemd
http://bbs.archbang.org/viewtopic.php?pid=18181
http://bbs.archbang.org/viewtopic.php?id=3365

In short, i686 may (or may not) be a problem with Ubuntu in this particular case.

SNDCTL_MIX_READ is an ioctl to try and read from the mixer. If you can change settings normally it's not too big a deal. I'm not sure where FQ_VIDEO comes from - it's not a sound ioctl. ossxmix is a gtk+2 program - do other such programs show such errors if you run them from the command line. Lastly, it's difficult for the forum to help since the driver is closed source, but if you try to run 'osstest -V' instead of osstest the first time, is the result different?

It should be possible to open a ".deb file" on Mac, because "Debian packages are standard Unix ar archives that include two tar archives optionally compressed with gzip (zlib), Bzip2, lzma, or xz (lzma2): one archive holds the control information and another contains the program data" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deb_(file_format)

EXAMPLE (it should work on Mac too):

Code: Select all: $ ar xv oss-linux-4.2-2007_i386.deb x - debian-binary x - control.tar.gz x - data.tar.gz $ ls control.tar.gz data.tar.gz debian-binary oss-linux-4.2-2007_i386.deb

The Arch Linux developers (those who infected Arch Linux with PulseAudio and systemd) tend to use the "deb2targz" script for the purpose (largely because of ignorance and stupidity, perhaps):

You can convert it to a tar.gz using You can convert it to a tar.gz using "deb2targz" (in [community]).
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php ... 70#p752370

http://www.miketaylor.org.uk/tech/deb/
DO NOT USE THE deb2targz SCRIPT!

It turns out to be complete waste of time: Debian packages are ar achives, and can be inspected and unpacked using the standard Unix command-line utility ar as follows:

Code: Select all
$ ls -l google-musicmanager-beta_current_i386.deb -rw-r--r-- 1 mike mike 2991982 2011-10-21 08:37 google-musicmanager-beta_current_i386.deb $ ar tv google-musicmanager-beta_current_i386.deb rw-r--r-- 0/0 4 Sep 14 21:12 2011 debian-binary rw-r--r-- 0/0 4688 Sep 14 21:12 2011 control.tar.gz rw-r--r-- 0/0 2987102 Sep 14 21:12 2011 data.tar.lzma $ ar xv google-musicmanager-beta_current_i386.deb data.tar.lzma x - data.tar.lzma $ ls -l data.tar.lzma -rw-r--r-- 1 mike mike 2987102 2011-10-21 08:39 data.tar.lzma $

(I would remove the script completely, but Aram Ayazyan tells me that it is used by packages in Arch Linux.)

If PulseLinux [Lennax] developers do not know the standard Unix commands, they have to reinvent the wheel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinventing_the_wheel

It seems that the "deb2targz" script was already moved from the "community repository" of Arch Linux to AUR (to hide it there, perhaps):

Code: Select all: $ yaourt deb2targz 1 aur/deb2targz 0.1-6 (0) convert a Debian Linux .deb file to a .tar.gz ==> Enter n° of packages to be installed (ex: 1 2 3 or 1-3) ==> ------------------------------------------------------- ==>

Since Linux today is rather difficult to use (because it is becoming increasinly buggy, "irrational", and unpredictable), it may make sense to learn Mac OS. My friends in Ukraine have already switched to Mac for understandable reasons.

NOTE: If I am not mistaken, the term "irrational behaviour" might be translated to the Linux-speak as "head up the arse behavior":

Among those critical of the new version [of Gnome] is Linus Torvalds, the creator of the Linux Kernel and a routine user of GNOME before abandoning it at the release of GNOME 3.0. Torvalds criticized GNOME 3.0 by stating, "The developers have apparently decided that it's 'too complicated' to actually do real work on your desktop, and have decided to make it really annoying to do." Torvalds cited specific usability problems he pointedly summarized as "crazy crap," and the "'head up the arse' behavior" of Gnome 3.0. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controvers ... #Criticism

I would like to know if there is any news on this issue? I don't want to hyjack this thread, but before I create a new thread with details, it would be interesting to know if this issue has been resolved.

To summarize:
I have also a Lynx L22, I am using oss-linux-4.2-2007_i386.deb to install OSS, first I was using ubuntu 12.04 too, but now I have installed debian 6, but nothing has changed. The hardware is detected fine, but osstest is returning "Input/output error" on every output device. There is also a onboard audio device which works fine with osstest.

by **arbor-wim** » Mon Dec 10, 2012 12:40 pm

After contacting support I have performed some further test. Maybe it helps if I post it here too. I have plugged the Lynx L22 into a 8-year-old dell Dimension 4600 and tried again. Now it seems to work. I'll add all details to be able to compare with a non-working system.

I have installed ubuntu 12.04.1 server i386 and did this to install OSS:

Code: Select all: sudo apt-get install binutils vim sed gcc libc6 libesd0 build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r` gawk libtool sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils stop sudo apt-get remove alsa-base alsa-utils sudo apt-get install linux-sound-base sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-sound-base sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0 libgtk2.0-dev sudo dpkg -i oss-linux-4.2-2007_i386.deb osstest

(note that alsa and pulse were not even installed, so I could have left out the deinstallation).

osstest output:

Note some errors are caused by trying to output to LynxL22 Play 4 and later, which do not exist. So this is not an issue.

I will now try again in the non-working system.

For completeness I like to add that I was not able to make the LynxL22 pci working in the new pc. I gave up and used a different (more modern) pci-e based card instead. That worked without any issues.
