Soundblaster USB (extigy or audigy)?

Is there any chance to get a soundblaster usb work with n900?

The audigy nx2 is recognized by "lsusb" and supported by alsa.

The extigy has a special linux driver, easy to install in debian for 386-architecture. The source is open and could be compiled for ARM, if there was someone out there who has a n900 toolchain.

That would be very nice!!!

Here is the sourgeforge page of the driver:
http://exaudio.sourceforge.net/

Here you find the link to the tarball:
http://exaudio.sourceforge.net/k26.html

Here is the tarball itself:

I've installed it on a debian desktop (386-architecture).
It works well!

It's easy to install, why don't you give it a try?

Re: Soundblaster USB (extigy or audigy)?

that would be excellent.I have an old extigy and it would be a blast if it would work on an N900.

Oh, the possibilities.....portable recording studio with a simple sequencer software.....I`m only dreaming here!

Common Issues

Most of the problems reported are of the "getting a second sound card working" sort, as opposed to the driver gurgling the sound or crashing. If you cannot get the driver working, check the following items:

1. This might not work with the ohci driver (please send me a report if you try this). For 2.4.x kernels, use usb-uhci.o instead of uhci.o. It seems to work better.
2. Your kernel needs Open Sound System support (CONFIG_SOUND_OSS). If you have this as a module (sound.o), then load this module before you load exaudio.

and from my scratchbox environment :

Quote:

[sbox-MaemoKernel: ~/exaudio] > grep CONFIG_SOUND_OSS /usr/src/kernel-power-headers/.config
# CONFIG_SOUND_OSS_CORE is not set

Re: Soundblaster USB (extigy or audigy)?

That's really bad news!!

Nearly ALL USB-sound devices use /dev/dsp*

Is there any hope for a kernel with OSS support?
