How I did to make USB/webcam microphone work with aMSN SVN

[jokker]

bon alors je teste avec aliases ...

[overflow1990]

kenzo@ramadhian:~$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/aliases | grep snd
## alias sound-slot-1 snd-usb-audio
alias sound-card-1 snd-usb-audio
options snd-usb-audio index=1

Now I already set for ALSA Only


./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-alsa for Snack

Apparament pour lui c'était ça , en plus , sauf si je me trompe il était sous Ubuntu

[jokker]

dis moi, je n'ai aucun autre sound-slot-X dans ce fichier donc je peux mettre X=0 ?

Et bien, écoute oui essaye, après on verra

normalement ça devrait marcher, il y a plein de gens sous Ubuntu, et si il y avait eu un problème, ils l'auraient reporté sur ce forum ^_^

[jokker]

Code:

david@sneaker:~$ sudo modprobe usb-snd-audio
FATAL: Module usb_snd_audio not found.

[overflow1990]

Code:

david@sneaker:~$ sudo modprobe usb-snd-audio
FATAL: Module usb_snd_audio not found.

mmm à mon avis le module usb-snd-audio est plus spécifique à la Fedora ou aux Redhats :-s

puis-je te demander d'aller sur le chan #ubuntu-fr du serveur Freenode s'il te plait ? ( irc.freenode.net )

mon pseudo c'est BehnamFedora

[jokker]

lol j'y suis 24/24/365/365 je suis P_Kable

[jokker]

Well, we got it.
For ubuntu / Debian guys out there ... the module is called snd_usb_audio on such distros instead of usb-snd-audio on Fedora.

Code:

sudo modprobe snd_usb_audio

[jonno]

Thanks for this howto, I got the snack library to work on Ubuntu Gutsy with this. Just for reference I didn't have to alter the modprobe.conf file (which is good news as there isn't one in Gutsy!) but after compiling I had to copy the libsnack library across from /lib/ to /usr/lib/

Code:

sudo cp /lib/libsnackstub2.2.a /usr/lib/
sudo cp -R /lib/snack2.2 /usr/lib/

 - I guess i should have compiled with the switch --prefix=/usr?

I'm using the Logitech Quickcam Zoom for reference, thanks again!

[Rom1_se]

I installed Snack from the sources with ubuntu. when I perform the audio test it said :
"An Error Accoured When Trying to record the Sound
Could not gain access to /dev/dsp for writting"
It's a probem of configuration from snack?
thx

[why.arent.guests.allowed]

YATTA!
I got sound working!
Thanks a lot overflow1990 and aMSN developers as well  :mrgreen:  (BTW this forum should have more smilies)

Debian "how-to" for amd64 (should be the same for x86)

Code:

tar -xzf snack2.2.10.tar.gz
cd snack2.2.10/unix/
./configure --prefix=/usr/lib --with-tk=/usr/lib/tk8.4 --with-tcl=/usr/lib/tcl8.4 --enable-alsa
very important!!! edit Makefile to "DESTDIR=/usr", otherwise it will install to /lib and aMSN will complain of not finding snack
make && make install
# DON'T install snack from aptitude (it doesn't work because it wasn't built with --enable-alsa)
On aMSN the audio output device should be something like "plughw:0" and mixer "hw:0". The input device should be "plughw:2".

*rant* why wasn't the Debian package built with --enable-alsa ?!

Now I know that my Logitech Quickcam Fusion sound works fine (well, at least it seems so).
I am just missing a program to record video+audio since aMSN doesn't seem to support this.

[kakaroto]

humm... yeah, enabling alsa *would* fix it.. otherwise, you still have my patch that fixes the bug from libsnack (the author of libsnack never answered, seems he doesn't care about my patch )
enabling alsa could make it work for you, but not everyone, a lot of people have problems with snack + alsa, others have snack working only with alsa.. depends on the system...
alsa support being experimental might be the reason debian package didn't have the --enable-alsa

i am using openSuSE 11
i tried everything listed in this topic and other ideas searching the internet but couldnot get my webcam microphone working. i had the snack rpm installed from the opensuse  oss repo. but it only showed
/dev/dsp1
/dev/dsp2
/dev/audio1
/dev/audio2

in the list for the microphone. The usb mic works great for other programs like audacity and it is also shown under my mixer window.

I removed snack, deleted the /usr/lib/snack2.2.10/ directory, and again made a clean installation from the source using -enable-alsa -with-tk=/usr/lib/ -with-tcl=/usr/lib/  (compiled and installed without any error). i added those
alias sound-slot-1 snd-usb-audio
alias sound-card-1 snd-usb-audio
options snd-usb-audio index=1

lines in my /etc/modprobe.conf file. and tried being root to rmmod and modprobe the snd-usb-audio ( it gave me no errors while doing modprobe). now when i restart amsn and tried to configure the devices, it shows only webcam, but says "checking if snack is loaded.." and does nothing. it even does not show the oss devices.  I tried creating symbolic link of /usr/lib/snack2.2.10/  in ~/.amsn/plugins but still no success.

anyone out there who can help me. ( BTW i tried these whole process with the same results before in suse10.3 also but i had no time to try it once more.. but now i want to fix it if i get any help.  :x )
