Both XP machine sync to the HDSP 9652. When no specific audio apps are running on the Linux box then this configuration will work for hours if not days with no problems. All audio data from GSt flows through the HDSP 9652's hardware and the hardware mixer sends it on to the Pro Tools box. It works perfectly. When Mozilla is started and I switch from page to page, after a few minutes I will receive a message on the Pro Tools box that the clock supplied by the HDSP 9652 was invalid. I can browse the same web pages on either XP box and I do not corrupt the clocks. ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Knecht - 02-01-05 22:12 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- * make sure no application uses the card with unpredictable sample rate requirements (don't use it as the default device, don't use it through the oss emulation layer) [MWK] Not practical but I understand. * make sure that if ever applications access the card, they do it at the required sample rate (this can be done with the plughw device in your ~/.asoundrc file) [MWK] I like this solution but couldn't figure it out myself. If someone could put a default version on the Alsa HDSP card page that would be a big help. I'm happy to test. * run an audio application at the desired sample rate. when the device is opened the clock can't be changed by any other app. typical candidates here allowing you to keep using the card would be sound daemons (esd, artsd, jack...) Running Jack is a pretty good solution for me. In fact I've been running it a lot and not seen this problem so possibly I can report (a bit loosely) that this solution works. Certianly I can do that any time I'm doing important work. Thanks! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tiwai - 02-02-05 10:20 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thomas, could you check the patch I sent ago in alsa-devel ML? This adds 'sample clock lock' control like ice1712 driver.
