HOWTO: Nvidia nForce SoundStorm APU: Digital output, Surround and Hardware mixing

Re: HOWTO: Nvidia nForce SoundStorm APU: Digital output, Surround and Hardware mixing

I'm glad I could help!:D

Re: HOWTO: Nvidia nForce SoundStorm APU: Digital output, Surround and Hardware mixing

Hello, I'm trying to run this, but I can't seem to get the right headers.
I used "uname -r" I'm running 2.6.12-10-386 but when I input

Quote:

sudo aptitude install build-essential libqt3-mt linux-2.6.12-10-386 linux-headers-2.6.12-10-386

I get this

Any ideas on why? thanks in advance RickC

**EDIT
I tried

Quote:

apt-get install build-essential

ad it sez "build-essential is already the newest version."
So why does it fail?
Maybe I fell apart before that, so I'll post the log.

The packages you need to have are named "linux-386" and "linux-headers-386".
Those are meta packages that will make sure you have the latest kernel and headers.
From what I can see in the log you already have the correct headers for your kernel.

Installation seems to fail because you are using the wrong version of gcc.
The breezy kernel was built using gcc-3.4, but by some reason breezy had a higher version of gcc installed by default.
Try this:

Code:

sudo aptitude install build-essential libqt3-mt linux-386 linux-headers-386 gcc-3.4

(It will skip the packages you already have, so it doesn't hurt to include them all)

Then install by:

Code:

sudo CC=gcc-3.4 sudo export CC sudo sh NFORCE-Linux-x86-1.0-0310-pkg1.run

Good luck.

Let us know if it works.

Re: HOWTO: Nvidia nForce SoundStorm APU: Digital output, Surround and Hardware mixing

Oh, I just want to notice I did got nvsound running on kernel 2.6.18 with these patches. I'm not using ubuntu but archlinux, and it was a patch from archlinux that was added for kernel 2.6.16 that made it fail the first time. Just adding these patches works perfectly, thanks :D

Ok. I tried it myself, and it didn't work.
One thing that will work is this:

Code:

sudo rm -rf /usr/bin/gcc && sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-3.4 /usr/bin/gcc sudo sh ~/NFORCE-Linux-x86-1.0-0310-pkg1.run

When it's done you can run the following to revert gcc to defaults:

Code:

sudo rm -rf /usr/bin/gcc && sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-4.0 /usr/bin/gcc

I'll add this to the howto.

SWEET
Worked like a charm... Thanks JOCKO.... Now my Linux has REAL sound :D

Re: HOWTO: Nvidia nForce SoundStorm APU: Digital output, Surround and Hardware mixing

Hi

I really want this to work. But when I tried it it fails. I get to step 4. but the installer fails, this is the error I get.

ERROR: Unable to find the kernel source tree for the currently running
kernel. Please make sure you have installed the kernel source files
for your kernel; on Red Hat Linux systems, for example, be sure you
have the 'kernel-source' rpm installed. If you know the correct
kernel source files are installed, you may specify the kernel source
path with the '--kernel-source-path' commandline option.

I am new to this linux thing, sorry if it is a stupid qouestion. but how do i resolve this?
I am running dapper, kernel 2.6.15-26-386

appreciate any help.

Edit: never mind... i fixed it

Re: HOWTO: Nvidia nForce SoundStorm APU: Digital output, Surround and Hardware mixing

I noticed an issue which I had in previous Debian Sarge installations has just reappeared in Ubuntu, and I think it has something to do with the nvsound driver.

It appears that when I adjust the speaker configuration from 5.1 (my usual setup) to 2.0 , the stream that I am playing (usually digital TV or internet radio) will start constantly cutting out. But if I switch back to 5.1 mode and reboot, the problem goes away (I'm guessing it might also go away if I unload and reload nvsound, but I haven't tried that).

A bit more info about my setup -

Custom 2.6.17 kernel from kernel.org + 'ck' patches
nvsound as per this howto
all alsa modules/utilities disabled
nforce2 soundstorm
Creative DTT2500 5.1 Digital Speakers (primary output - S/PDIF))
stereo amp w/ 2 analogue speakers plugged into line out

Whenever I want to use the analogue speakers (usually for digital TV via TV-out) I have been changing the speaker setup in nvmixer to 2.0. This isn't strictly necessary, though, it's just a habit I've got into (I think now it's one I should get out of :) )

But the driver should be able to handle config changes on the fly, shouldn't it? The thing is, I don't see any helpful output in dmesg, other than the usual messages about upsampling or 'Unable to change the Channel, set back to Stereo', depending on the circumstances.

Maybe there is some verbose mode in the driver which could be turned on? If so, how?

Anyway, does anybody else notice this, know what's causing it, and/or know a way to fix it?

EDIT: Ignore this. The issue is not related to the nvsound driver. I haven't nailed it down 100% but it appears to be network/streaming related. It happened again recently when I was experimenting with getting some windows-designed web streams to run with various linux apps. Somehow my settings became corrupted and then my streams went into the constant rebuffering mentioned above. I couldn't be bothered spending time to troubleshoot it properly so I just reloaded my system from a partition image and was back to normal in no time. Lesson learned - download pod/vodcasts where possible instead of live streaming.

I'am not using Ubuntu, I'am using Mandriva 2005 and PClinuxOS-0.93a.
In Mandriva 2005, i use gcc-3.4.3, but in PClinuxOS. I use gcc 3.3.1
My Motherboard using nforce2 mcp-t.

If you need more information, i will give you.

Please, help me to compile it.
Thanks before.
