hi all, on my new machine, when i run the 10.0.21 envy24control, even as root, i get a continuous stream of "Unable to read peaks: No such file or directory" and no sound. i straced it, saved profiles.conf files where there were some ENOENTS, and got the same error; i compiled the tool from source and got the same error. as far as i can tell it is trying to read from a unix socket, but i don't know what is meant to be on the other end. see below for transcript and please let me know if i should provide more technical details to help illuminate the problem here. i only see one other mailing list post about this behavior, back in 2002, when jaroslav told someone to recompile from CVS. hopefully there will be some newer advice available now. :) many thanks, aaron. -- aaron brick -- aaron@xxxxxxxxxx -- http://www.lithic.org 16:55 /tmp/alsa-tools-1.0.21/envy24control > cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [M2496 ]: ICE1712 - M Audio Audiophile 24/96 M Audio Audiophile 24/96 at 0xe800, irq 20 1 [HDMI ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI HDMI HDA ATI HDMI at 0xfeae8000 irq 19 16:59 /tmp/alsa-tools-1.0.21/envy24control > ./envy24control -c 0 using --- input_channels: 2 --- output_channels: 2 --- pcm_output_channels: 8 --- spdif in/out channels: 2 (envy24control:31869): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated (envy24control:31869): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated Unable to read peaks: No such file or directory Unable to read peaks: No such file or directory Unable to read peaks: No such file or directory Unable to read peaks: No such file or directory Unable to read peaks: No such file or directory ... 17:03 /tmp/alsa-tools-1.0.21/envy24control > strace ./envy24control -c 0 ... write(1, "Unable to read peaks: No such fi"..., 48Unable to read peaks: No such file or directory ) = 48 poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN|POLLOUT}], 1, -1) = 1 ([{fd=3, revents=POLLOUT}]) writev(3, [{"F\30\303\0\36\0\240\1\37\0\240\1\6\0\377\0\26\0\3\0 \0\377\0\26\0\3\0\6\0\373\0"..., 3172}, {NULL, 0}, {"", 0}], 3) = 3172 read(3, 0x1821eb4, 4096) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=4, events=POLLIN}], 2, 29) = 0 (Timeout) ioctl(4, USBDEVFS_IOCTL, 0x184a330) = 0 ioctl(4, USBDEVFS_IOCTL, 0x184a800) = 0 ioctl(4, USBDEVFS_IOCTL, 0x184b1a0) = 0 ioctl(4, USBDEVFS_IOCTL, 0x184b670) = 0 ioctl(4, USBDEVFS_IOCTL, 0x184b1a0) = 0 ioctl(4, USBDEVFS_IOCTL, 0x184b670) = 0 read(3, 0x1821eb4, 4096) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=4, events=POLLIN}], 2, 10) = 0 (Timeout) read(3, 0x1821eb4, 4096) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=4, events=POLLIN}], 2, 0) = 0 (Timeout) ioctl(4, USBDEVFS_IOCTL, 0x1849e60) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) write(1, "Unable to read peaks: No such fi"..., 48Unable to read peaks: No such file or directory ) = 48 ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
