I haven't tried my Audigy 2 under Alsa for a while. I decided to pop it in my machine tonight and give it a try. I'm using a build from today's CVS.

The Audigy 2 doesn't seem to be listed on the alsa soundcard matrix. Maybe it'll get updated with my results ..

Anyhow, PCM support seems to work fine, tone controls work too. Mixing different PCM sources seems to work well too (playing mp3 from xmms while playing wolfenstein).

sfxload loads soundfonts into the synth, and plays well.

I've connected my midi keyboard to the keyboard port via an adapter, and I can route my midi keypressed to the Audigy 2 synth using my soundfont.

I haven't tried any digital out, but otherwise I haven't seen any problems.

later,
Steve

oops, that should have read joystick port, not keyboard.

So MIDI input seems to work, is that what you're saying?

How about MIDI output?

You're using a plain Audigy2, not Audigy2 Platinum, is that correct?

Is there a difference, apart from the bundled software and drivers?

Yup, MIDI input via the joystick port works. My message may not have 
been too clear; Writing messages when you're half asleep is never a good 
idea.

I'm using a plain Audigy2 (not platinum). I obviously don't have the 
LiveDrive! stuff so I can't test out the other mini-din midi port that 
it provides.

I didn't get a chance to try out midi-out to my keyboard, but I'll do 
that tonight and report back.

later,
Steve

Thank you Stephen!

And thanks to the ALSA developers. Now i'll go ahead and buy an Audigy2.
Yeah, it's going to be a Platinum, yeah, maybe a few gizmos on the front
panel won't work (we'll see), but as long as there is at least one pair
of MIDI in/out that works, i'm happy.

Keep up the good work!

I believe the only difference is that the Platinum comes with that nice
and convenient front panel full of connectors and controls. I believe
you can take that panel and stick it into a plain Audigy2 and this way
transform it into an ad-hoc Platinum.

Someone correct me if i'm wrong.

Stephen, do you mind sharing with us the ALSA-relevant part of your
/etc/modules.conf file, please?

Also, what's the distribution you're using, and what's the exact kernel
version?

Thanks,

I have heard reports that the SPDIF passthru does not work, so you will 
not be able to use external AC3 and DTS decoders.

Can anyone verify this?

Cheers

I'm particularly lazy about using modules.conf, so I generally don't bother using it.

I tend to load everything via /etc/modules (debian module auto-loading) in the order that I want the devices to be.

Here's what my /etc/modules looks like:
>>
snd-emu10k1
snd-emu10k1-synth
snd-emux-synth
snd-mixer-oss
snd-pcm-oss
snd-seq-oss
<<

I'm using debian unstable with a custom kernel. I'm using kernel 2.4.20 w/ the ck patch over at http://members.optusnet.com.au/ckolivas/kernel/ for reduced latency (it make a big difference to the performance of my box). I compiled everything with gcc-2.95.4.

later,
Steve

Creative Labs seems to change the pinouts on the cards a little bit. I'm not too sure how much things are different between each generation, but my IO module for my SBLive only routed some things when it was hooked up to my Audigy. If you're keeping the IO module with the same generation card that it came with, it shouldn't have any issues.

On that note, does anyone know if you can purchase a digital IO module for the Audigy2 separate from the Platinum package? I wouldn't mind finding one that sits over a PCI slot in my chassis. I don't like cables that hang out the front of my case.

later,
Steve

Have a look at Audigy2 Platinum EX.  Essentially, it's the same as the
regular platinum (i.e. it comes with an internal PCI card), but
instead of the LiveDrive there is an external module full of I/O
connectors.

I have the Audigy2 Platinum Ex, which I purchased for the same reason
as you.  However, I still could not get Alsa's emu10k1 driver to work
with it (neither the recent CVS version, nor the 0.9.3 series). :(  I
get the following error.  SB's emu10k1 driver works, though.

Notice that 00:12.0 is Class 0401: 1102:0002 (The numbers will be 
different for the Audigy 2)

Now, edit /alsacvs/alsa-kernel/pci/emu10k1/emu10k1.c line 81 onwards: -
static struct pci_device_id snd_emu10k1_ids[] __devinitdata = {
         { 0x1102, 0x0002, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, 0 },    /* 
EMU10K1 */
         { 0x1102, 0x0006, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, 0 },    /* Dell 
OEM version (EMU10K1) */
         { 0x1102, 0x0004, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, 1 },    /* 
Audigy */
         { 0, }
};


As you can see, 0x1102, 0x0002 is my SB Live.
Add a extra line for your Audigy 2 platinum ex.

and recompile, and see if that helps.

Cheers

It seems that there already is a line for my card:

,----[ lspci output ]
| 02:05.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Audigy (rev 04)
| 02:05.1 Input device controller: Creative Labs SB Audigy MIDI/Game port (rev 04)
| 02:05.2 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Creative Labs SB Audigy FireWire Port (rev 04)
`----

,----[ lspci -r output ]
| 02:05.0 Class 0401: 1102:0004 (rev 04)
| 02:05.1 Class 0980: 1102:7003 (rev 04)
| 02:05.2 Class 0c00: 1102:4001 (rev 04)
`----

So, according to your instructions, my card should be identified by
"Class 0401: 1102:0004", but there already is a line for that in
alsa-kernel/pci/emu10k1/emu10k1.c:

{ 0x1102, 0x0004, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, 1 },    /* Audigy */

Am I missing something?  Thanks a lot for your reply!

I have audigy, and ac3/dts output is not working.

Alsa says it cannot find some hw device.. sorry I don't have the exact error
message here.

I have gotten the same error at least 6 months now..

I finally remembered this..

here comes the error-message from mplayer when trying to play movie with
ac3-sound and use the spdif output:
