[SOLVED] e-mu 1616m pcie card not recognized

jsadural · 2011-12-29 23:53:45

Hello,

For the life of me, I am unable to get the card recognized, meaning that it does not appear in /proc/asound/cards. It does seem to be recognized by the kernel:

lspci:
Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB0400 Audigy2 Value

[jsadural@jSaritasa build]$ dmesg | grep emu
[ 6.436076] snd_emu10k1 0000:04:04.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17
[ 7.461363] snd_emu10k1 0000:04:04.0: PCI INT A disabled
[ 7.461367] snd_emu10k1: probe of 0000:04:04.0 failed with error -5

I also tried to rebuild alsa-driver with using "./configure --with-cards=emu10k1"

and run into this error:

Hello,

I had the exact same problem today, when installing mine. I'm happy to report that I have sound :)

I rebuilt the kernel (following : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … ild_System ). The only modification I had to do was to modify linux/src/linux-3.1/sound/pci/emu10k1/emu10k1_main.c

From line 1295, this file starts to describe the various cards this module can manage : the PCIe version of the 1010m card is not in this list. Basically all you have to do is to add it in that list with the following lines (found in the patch posted here) :

	{.vendor = 0x1102, .device = 0x0008, .subsystem = 0x40071102,
	 .driver = "Audigy2", .name = "E-mu 1010 PCIe",
	 .id = "EMU1010",
	 .emu10k2_chip = 1,
	 .ca0108_chip = 1,
	 .spk71 = 1,
	 .emu_model = EMU_MODEL_EMU1010B}, /* EMU 1010 PCIe */

The whole, modified file is there : http://pastebin.com/XKiaKQ19 (added part starts at line 1418),

Compile the kernel with that file instead of the original, install it and reboot. You should now have sound ;)

You can also try just using my working module (just mv snd-emu10k1.ko.gz /lib/modules/3.1.5-1-ARCH/kernel/sound/pci/emu10k1 as root) : http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HV0O2SUO
(not sure this one will also work for you, though - I'm running a 32-bit arch, and while I was at it, I also tailored the kernel to my machine... but well, it's worth trying)

Hi BuissonVert,

Your awesome! I haven't tried it yet because it is at my 64bit machine at work and I won't be able to till after the new years. Your solution looks similar to what I found people were doing in ubuntu. This would be awesome as an AUR PKGBUILD, especially for the linux-rt kernel. Are you using an rt kernel? I would be trying it on my rt kernel and would be interesting to know if you run into any issues. Thanks again and I will post as soon as I try it out.

Hello jsdural,

No, I'm not using an rt kernel. I don't need one for what I do. In fact, I'm not going to use this card for what it was designed to. I just needed 6 analog, balanced outputs, and had the opportunity to get this card for a very good price, so I took the opportunity, but I don't need most of what the card is capable of

I'd also like to see an aur pkgbuild, but I don't have the time to maintain it myself, sorry happy to help if I can though. Keep us posted

Happy new year.

Hello BuissonVert,

I gave it a try today and still a no-go. I basically replaced the file with your emu10k1_main.c and it still did not load the card. I replaced the file, rebuilt the kernel, installed it, and booted into it. It still does not appear in my /proc/asound/cards... Did you do anything else specific besides adding the changes to the file?

jsadural · 2012-01-08 05:10:27

OK I figured it out. I was missing alsa-firmware. It works on non-rt kernel and I am compiling the rt version right now. Thanks again!

jsadural · 2012-01-08 06:30:24

OK all seems well with the rt-compilation and getting audio out of the device. Here is the status report.

- ALL ANALOG INPUTS WORK PERFECTLY!!!

- ALL ANALOG OUTPUTS WORK PERFECTLY!!!

- Did not test Adat

- Did not test SPDIF

For everyone looking to purchase 1616m, it's tricky to get working but definitely worth the trouble.

2 mic pre
4 analog inputs
2 phono inputs
8 analog outputs
8 adat I/O

for $450 and works under linux, what else can you ask for???

SUCCESS!!!

Cool
If you would, edit your first post in the thread, change the title of the thread and add [SOLVED] to the beginning of the title.

Thanks.

BuissonVert · 2012-01-08 15:37:06

Happy to read that things work well for you.

Please let me know if you can use 24-bit word length or "unusual" sampling rates (32, 88.2, 96, 176.4, 192 kHz, anything besides the usual 44.1/48 kHz that are the only options for the internal clock rate of the card in alsamixer), without software resampling/"rewording"... Could not get that to work so I switched back to my previous card for now.

jsadural · 2012-01-13 04:46:06

So I am having other issues. The only way I can get all 16 inputs and 16 outputs is selecting from input and output device: Multichannel Capture / PT playback. The problem is that I can only use it at 48khz

messages:
playback and capture sample rates do not match (48000 vs. 44100)

It seems like there is a mismatch in the input sample rates and output sample rates. I think jack is not actually setting the sample rates on the device. Can you see if you can get all I/O at 44100?

BuissonVert · 2012-01-21 14:17:21

Look at alsamixer, there's an "internal clock rate" switch. Might be you should use that. I would have guessed that switch set the sampling rate for both playback and capture, but maybe there's one separate switch for each. I could not help you further : I don't have the card anymore. I sent it back (no Linux support for the higher sampling rates, and an Alsa driver that seems orphaned, so no chance to see it anytime soon... dealbreaker for me).

I am having more issues too and it's getting frustrating. My motherboard audio device disappears when I install the 1616m.

GONE:
