This is the updated version of the emu10k1-audigy ebuild. It contains the most recent stable release of the emu10k1 driver as well as its tools and some new configuration defaults. You will find attached emu10k1-audigy.tar.gz; untar it inside the directory /usr/portage/media-sound and it will extract the ebuild and associated files into the ebuild directory "emu10k1-audigy". emu10k1.conf has been changed to reflect emu10k1's defaults and my own personal choice of enabling Prologic surround sound, as it shouldn't break anything and will take advantage of the Audigy's surround sound processing (hey, this is an audigy package, right?)
Created attachment 3188 [details] emu10k1-audigy tree after emu10k1-audigy-20020525.ebuild ebuild added directory tree of emu10k1-audigy after adding new ebuild and associated files.
Hey psypete, post it as text so that it can be read ;-) //ZhEN
this ebuild should be rewritten to reflect bug 5958
are there the corrected preload settings to restore volume/mixer-settings? if no, ill correct them
i seem to have forgotten to include the updated audigy script that comes with the updated driver in this ebuild. i'll modify changes referred to in bug 5958 and re-attach. has anyone a problem with me using grep to find emu10k1 in modules.autoload, and if it's not there, add it?
i think thats something a user should do, not the ebuild. take care that you take the right (installed) application to restore mixer-settings, since it was a mistake in a previous ebuild/script
When I recompile the kernel I need to re-emerge the emu10k1-audigy. Below you see the changelog of nvidia-kernel which had the same problem but has been solved now. Would you be so kind and take a look at the nvidia-kernel ebuild and change the emu10k1-audigy ebuild so a re-emerge after recompiling the kernel isn't neccesary anymore. In the changelog there is also a statement of drobbins that it's against Gentoo-policy to mess with the module-configuration. I guess a notification just like in nvidia-kernel is sufficient. http://www.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/gentoo-x86/media-video/nvidia-kernel/ChangeLog?rev=1.7&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup
any status about this? waiting for saving volume on reboot. the original script provides this!
I can't download the attachment to view it ?
closing, psypete has an updated one on cvs....
there are no updated audigy ebuilds in cvs ...
I believe psypete said there is a problem with the sound settings not saving on module unload. Any ideas how to fix that ?
Yeah indeed i have! first you have to change in /usr/local/etc/audigy-script lines 246 and 250 so that it calls the correct aumix (/usr/bin/aumix). then you have to add the following to /etc/modules.d/audigy post-install emu10k1 /usr/sbin/audigy-script restore pre-remove emu10k1 /usr/sbin/audigy-script save this saves and calls the settings before/after loading the module. I have some more infos about that, so if you need, email me: cycloon@linux-de.org
ok, not *every* fix is working 100%, i've found. and the only real problem is with the module's state-saving of the sound. yes, i added the second line to the modules.conf thing, and yes, calling the audigy-script (now renamed emu10k1-script) manually will save and load the script, but if i just "rmmod emu10k1" and "modprobe emu10k1", the levels aren't saved! they are loaded, but not saved. very peculiar indeed. i think to fix this i could mess with aumix's permissions, but i'd have to edit the aumix ebuild as well. i'll figger something out. it's coming, people, i'm just a tad swamped with work atm. if you're a dev hungry to fix the problems at hand (currently copying the kernel modules so portage does not remove them upon re-emerge, and of course state saving) email me and i'll send you my files and ebuild and you can take a crack at it.
One other thing about installing these sound drivers. Are any of the users in Gentoo added to the 'Audio' group by default, to get sound working ? If not, is it possible to add a user to the 'Audio' group during the install of these drivers ? Would adding user 'root' to the 'Audio' group by default (perhaps during the install of Gentoo) cause any problems, whether sound was actually installed or not ? I normally install all packages as root, test them, and then add individual users as required. I think a few of the problems people have with audio not working is simply forgetting to add users to the correct permissions for sound :) Just a thought.
I have made an ebuild with updated ebuild file, emu10k1.conf and audigy script. It also uses the latest version of the driver: 0.20a from Sept, 27th, 2002. audigy-script had options in it that were non applicable to the audigy (for sblive), some were not even used and just made the code confusing and some even broke the sound quality (running emu-config -a causes distortion at all volume levels on the Audigy). I have rewritten audigy-script and emu10k1.conf so that everything is relevant to the audigy and a volume control is added for the Center/Sub channel. I have tested my ebuild and everything works including volumes being saved before module unload and restored after module load (This requires aumix to be installed). Anyone interested could look at it and it could maybe be put into portage if its any good. http://www.helix.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/emu10k1-audigy-20020927.tar.gz Use the extracted tarball to replace /usr/portage/media-sound/emu10k1-audigy
hi! This driver is obsoltete... the new one is now in the emu10k1 - main package i'll submit an ebuild after freeze(or now if it's requested..) greetings, LordVan
i'm a total wanker for not updating the ebuild, but my lazyness + lack of time + lack of CVS access has left me unable to update the ebuild. i'm very very sorry to everyone that's been waiting on me :( if you have an ebuild, send it in pls
No need to wait people, check out the site that Tenpin did http://basic-rip.co.uk/tenpin/linux_audigy_faq.html It has an ebuild there to use the latest drivers from sourceforge, instructions on the faq page how to install it all etc. So no need to wait for the freeze to finish etc, you can install the latest drivers now :)
mine now, time to clean this junk up
ok, heres the dilly folks emu10k1-audigy == dead http://cvs.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/gentoo-x86/media-sound/emu10k1-audigy/Attic/ emu10k1 == all-in-one package (for SBLive! and Audigy) http://cvs.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/gentoo-x86/media-sound/emu10k1/ emu10k1 is sitting at 0.20a in portage (the latest available on sourceforge) enjoy
