Basilisk II on Slackware Audio Issue

kc3 · 10-25-2009, 07:33 PM

I have Basilisk II (currently running MacOS7.5.3) installed on my computer running Slackware 13 64 bit and even though everything seemed to work fine, I cannot get the audio working. I tested it out in SheepShaver and it has the same issue. I also tried running it in root and it still doesn't work and I messed with the audio permissions. Currently the audio output device is set to /dev/dsp and the mixer to /dev/mixer. Any ideas?

Hey kc3.

Can you possibly run this command in a terminal:

Code:

lspci | grep Audio

and then post back so we can help you further? Thanks

It may be set to the wrong devices...

There's my output

Just fyi, I did set it to /dev/audio along with /dev/adsp and right now it's set back to /dev/dsp

Any ideas? Or input?

Did it work when you set it to /dev/audio?

Nope, same issue

Anyone else? lol

Presumably sound works in other applications?

Yep, sound works fine in everything else. I know it's not an issue with Basilisk either since Sheepshaver does the same thing.

Well it could certainly be a problem with both of them, or a different problem for each. Have you tried both the alsa drivers and the OSS drivers?

Well, I'm just not sure what other device to set it to. Like I mentioned, I tried /dev/dsp, /dev/adsp and /dev/audio, only thing I can think of is something to do with that.

adamk75 · 10-28-2009, 10:03 AM

What I'm referring to are the separate OSS drivers from 4Front: http://www.opensound.com/

They are open source for most sound cards (though some are still closed source as they had to sign an NDA to get some specifications). It's possible that those applications only know oss and that the alsa oss emulation isn't good enough...

Which reminds me, you could try LD_PRELOADING the libaoss library to see if that helps at all. I'm not sure if Basilik and Sheepshaver are 32 bit or 64 bits apps. If they are 64 bit, you would try:

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libaoss.so basilik

(Or whatever the binary is actually called).

If they are 32 bit apps, you would do:

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libaoss.so basilik

Of course, you would need to have converted your system into multilib, and have the 32 bit packages installed.

If that doesn't work, and are hesitant to try the OSS drivers, I think you'd be best asking the Basilik or Sheepshaver folks for help.

I'll give it a shot

Guys i have similar sound problem with slackware64 13.

I have Asus P5K and my on-board sound looks that work, but not quite good.

When i play music or watch movie ,doesn't matter the software i tried almost everything --xmms,audacious,mplayer,vlc,gxine,xine...,

the volume go lowest automatically, and when i increase volume via creative volume control(i have ceative 4.1 speaker, 5 years old )go highest.

The problem is with stability of the volume.

Do i need to change my old - very old speaker or is a bug????

Sorry it took me so long to get back on...I had some things I needed to take care of...

Mpregos, have you tried maybe using alsamixer to set your volumes? I've never had that problem, but just a thought...
