Summary: Audigy2 Platinum: very low volume (both in and out)
Description:
Both the input and output levels of my Audigy2 Platinum seem to be very low
if compared to the same card with Windows (win98se). For example, I
connected an external source (a MD player with very loud music in the
disc) to the optical input, then to the aux input, then to the aux2 input.
With the mixer settings to 100% the input level still does not go over
20-25% of the maximum amplitude (while with Windows I have to lower the
input level or it will be too high). The same thing applies to the output
level of my analog speakers. [I must be *very* careful when I reboot with
Windows and must not forget to turn the volume knob from 10 to 2]. I had
exactly the same problem when I used the emu10k1 drivers from sourceforge.

jcdutton, forgive me, but I am very new to Linux. Could you walk me
through the process of applying this patch? I appreciate the effort you
put into making this available. Now if only I could figure out how to use
it... :D

Hi jcdutton,
After some experimentation and cursing I'm afraid I probably will not be
able to build this patch to test for you. I will attempt to shake out some
people downstream with a bit more experience that might be able to do it
instead.
The reason for my inability to do this is that patches in the HG SCM
repository are failing against the copy of alsa-kernel that comes with my
OS (AMD64 Ubuntu 6.06). Unfortunately, I don't feel I have the expertise
to resolve this issue and I don't have enough time to gain the knowledge
required to fix it (unless it's something that you can instruct me to
do).
For your knowledge, here is the failure that is currently occurring:
Hacking autoconf.h...
if [ ! -d include/sound -a ! -L include/sound ]; then \
ln -sf ../alsa-kernel/include include/sound ; \
fi
cp -auvf include/version.h include/sound/version.h
`include/version.h' -> `include/sound/version.h'
make[1]: Entering directory

Hunk #7 succeeded at 484 with fuzz 1 (offset 11 lines).

make[1]: *** [info.c] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory

make: *** [dep] Error 1
I prepared the source by downloading the alsa-source package provided by
Ubuntu and untarring it, then by pulling the latest sources from the HG
SCM repository and overwriting the older files from the alsa-source
package. I also tried downloading a fresh copy of the HG SCM repository
and copied over ONLY the alsa-kernel directory, and it still failed.
Again, I will try to find someone downstream to test this patch. Hopefully
someone with a bit more experience will able to do so.
Regards,

Just don't use the Ubuntu ALSA packages, they are hacked up. Get
everything from the HG repository, and just install it over the Ubuntu
ALSA.

snover, That patch applies to the latest alsa hg. And not to the kernel
direct.
Please see http://alsa-project.org/download.php on how to get the HG
version.
Compile with
./hgcompile --with-cards=emu10k1
I should autodetect your current kernel, and build against it, if you have
compiled your own kernel. You have to use the same compiler for the kernel
compile as you do the ALSA modules.

snover, That patch applies to the latest alsa hg. And not to the kernel
direct.
Please see http://alsa-project.org/download.php on how to get the HG
version.
Compile with
./hgcompile --with-cards=emu10k1
I should autodetect your current kernel, and build against it, if you have
compiled your own kernel. You have to use the same compiler for the kernel
compile as you do the ALSA modules.

Summary: Audigy2 Platinum: very low volume (both in and out)
Description:
Both the input and output levels of my Audigy2 Platinum seem to be very low
if compared to the same card with Windows (win98se). For example, I
connected an external source (a MD player with very loud music in the
disc) to the optical input, then to the aux input, then to the aux2 input.
With the mixer settings to 100% the input level still does not go over
20-25% of the maximum amplitude (while with Windows I have to lower the
input level or it will be too high). The same thing applies to the output
level of my analog speakers. [I must be *very* careful when I reboot with
Windows and must not forget to turn the volume knob from 10 to 2]. I had
exactly the same problem when I used the emu10k1 drivers from sourceforge.

Known problem. The problem is due to the way sound is routed. This has been
fixed for one creative sound card so far. I will upload a patch to try
when I get a moment.

I went ahead and posted this note under another issue, but might as well
put it here too. m not sure if this is relevant or not, but Im using FC5
kernel 2.6.17-1.2145_FC5 i686 and have lost sound from my Creative Labs
Audigy 2 ZS Platinum card completely. In earlier kernel builds (the
version that was shipped on the FC5 dvd) I had sound, but with my recent
update, I have lost it.

Just to keep things updated: the problem stays there also with 2.6.8.1 and
ALSA 1.0.7rc1 (not compiled with the kernel).
----------------------------------------------------------------------
pzad - 09-16-04 10:16
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Driver only attenuate signals. If you set volumes of inputs and output to
100, then you get what is exactly on input.
Windows drivers probably amplify inputs or outputs.
Could you attach output of amixer ????
----------------------------------------------------------------------
garden - 09-16-04 11:37
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is my amixer output.
I think it's very strange that the driver only attenuate signals... I
can't believe that the maximum output from this card is so much more quiet
than the output of an AWE64 (with ALSA and win95 the output volume was
exactly the same).
On this PC I also have an integrated sound card:
0000:00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.
VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 50)
And in this case ALSA and win98 volume is quite the same.
Moreover, I also have very low levels with optical *input*, and I'm sure
that the original signal is near to 100% of volume.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
pzad - 09-16-04 12:17
----------------------------------------------------------------------
>Moreover, I also have very low levels with optical *input*, and I'm sure

Try to set "IEC958 Optical Capture" to 100 in alsamixer and record. Then
check recorded file for signal level - maximum level - is this same as
source or it is lower ??? Best will be for example with cd player (optical
output connected to audigy). Recording something from this cd player. Then
you should grab this directly from cd (using some cd rip app) and compare
these two files if there is same volume level (They will be not same,
because emu10k1 always resamples).
Mixer in your other souncards are directly in hardware. On Audigy this
mixer is implemented in DSP software and can be changed. Output or input
can be amplifyed, but you will lose precision of your DAC or ADC.
If you set for example "IEC958 Optical", Front and Master to 100. What is
level compared to windows max mixer settings ???
I will check Audigy mixer if it is correct. Maybe I made some mistake.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
garden - 09-16-04 13:23
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I tried to record a CD track (1st mov. of 5th symphony by Beethoven :-))
with a CD player with the optical output connected to the input on the
audigy2 and IEC958 Capture at 100, then I tried connecting it to the RCA
connectors (analog inputs, 100% volume), then I recorded it playing the CD
in my CD-ROM reader (connected to the audigy2 "Audigy CD" digital input,
100% volume), then I ripped it with cdparanoia. These are the results
(well, I think I went wrong with "very low level". It appears just to be
"lower".)
arecord (IEC958 optical input, Sony MXD-D1)
Maximum amplitude: 0.835510
Minimum amplitude: -0.828491
arecord (Aux IN 2 on the front panel, Sony MXD-D1)
Maximum amplitude: 0.727905
Minimum amplitude: -0.715240
arecord (AudigyCD digital audio CD input, LiteON something DVD-ROM)
Maximum amplitude: 0.832703
Minimum amplitude: -0.828522
cdparanoia:
Maximum amplitude: 0.933868
Minimum amplitude: -0.923676
As for the comparison windows vs linux, I'll reboot in a few minutes then
I'll post the results.

Hi. What's the status of this bug. Any improvement in later ALSA
releases?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
garden - 08-30-05 12:32
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No changes for me. It is still quite low.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
rlrevell - 08-30-05 20:21
----------------------------------------------------------------------
When you say Windows do you mean with the Creative driver? Unfortunately
it's a black box. Do you get the same results with this (vastly superior)
driver:
http://www.kxproject.com
If so then we can compare the AC97 registers.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
pzad - 08-31-05 14:01
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is not in AC97 - it is used only for recording - and is already on
max. I think diffrence are in DSP code.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
rlrevell - 08-31-05 18:54
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Could this be related to the "x4" stuff in the kX driver? Inputs from the
ADC are multiplied by 4 (since the ADC is 16 bit and the DSP 32 bit) then
divided by 4 at the output.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
pzad - 01-26-06 21:52
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I played with DSP and if everything is on 100 % then you get (when
recording) on output of DSP same amplitude of signal as on input.
Playback can be diffrent and can be lower than in windows, but I don't
know, if it is, how much.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
rlrevell - 01-26-06 21:55
----------------------------------------------------------------------
OK, so NOTABUG?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
pzad - 01-26-06 22:03
----------------------------------------------------------------------
For now keep this bug open.
Recording from "mic in" is lower (compared to windows). I will post patch
(capture gain on AC97 needs to be set to 3-6 dB).
Recording from PCM is OK - when all volumes set 100% if you record PCM you
will get same recording volume as it was played.
I need to check recording from "line in" and playback part.

pzad made me aware of this issue after I reported the problem in the
Creative forum. I have the same symptoms as garden: very low capture
volumes with the Line-level inputs Aux2 (stereo RCA) and Line2 (1/4"),
even with all the ALSA capture volumes set to 100%. I can make the
signals clip in Windows, so I know my source levels are more than
adequate.

I am experiencing a similar issue running 2.6.15 (2.6.15-25-amd64-k8) and
ALSA 1.0.10rc3 (Kubuntu Dapper 6.06) where the input levels are very very
low. Also, the "Line In 1/Mic 1" on the breakout box is mapped to Line2 in
ALSA, so "Mic Boost" does not work.

Known problem. The problem is due to the way sound is routed. This has been
fixed for one creative sound card so far. I will upload a patch to try
when I get a moment.

Summary: Audigy2 Platinum: very low volume (both in and out)
Description:
Both the input and output levels of my Audigy2 Platinum seem to be very low
if compared to the same card with Windows (win98se). For example, I
connected an external source (a MD player with very loud music in the
disc) to the optical input, then to the aux input, then to the aux2 input.
With the mixer settings to 100% the input level still does not go over
20-25% of the maximum amplitude (while with Windows I have to lower the
input level or it will be too high). The same thing applies to the output
level of my analog speakers. [I must be *very* careful when I reboot with
Windows and must not forget to turn the volume knob from 10 to 2]. I had
exactly the same problem when I used the emu10k1 drivers from sourceforge.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Just to keep things updated: the problem stays there also with 2.6.8.1 and
ALSA 1.0.7rc1 (not compiled with the kernel).
----------------------------------------------------------------------
pzad - 09-16-04 10:16
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Driver only attenuate signals. If you set volumes of inputs and output to
100, then you get what is exactly on input.
Windows drivers probably amplify inputs or outputs.
Could you attach output of amixer ????
----------------------------------------------------------------------
garden - 09-16-04 11:37
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is my amixer output.
I think it's very strange that the driver only attenuate signals... I
can't believe that the maximum output from this card is so much more quiet
than the output of an AWE64 (with ALSA and win95 the output volume was
exactly the same).
On this PC I also have an integrated sound card:
0000:00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.
VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 50)
And in this case ALSA and win98 volume is quite the same.
Moreover, I also have very low levels with optical *input*, and I'm sure
that the original signal is near to 100% of volume.

>Moreover, I also have very low levels with optical *input*, and I'm sure

Try to set "IEC958 Optical Capture" to 100 in alsamixer and record. Then
check recorded file for signal level - maximum level - is this same as
source or it is lower ??? Best will be for example with cd player (optical
output connected to audigy). Recording something from this cd player. Then
you should grab this directly from cd (using some cd rip app) and compare
these two files if there is same volume level (They will be not same,
because emu10k1 always resamples).
Mixer in your other souncards are directly in hardware. On Audigy this
mixer is implemented in DSP software and can be changed. Output or input
can be amplifyed, but you will lose precision of your DAC or ADC.
If you set for example "IEC958 Optical", Front and Master to 100. What is
level compared to windows max mixer settings ???
I will check Audigy mixer if it is correct. Maybe I made some mistake.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
garden - 09-16-04 13:23
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I tried to record a CD track (1st mov. of 5th symphony by Beethoven :-))
with a CD player with the optical output connected to the input on the
audigy2 and IEC958 Capture at 100, then I tried connecting it to the RCA
connectors (analog inputs, 100% volume), then I recorded it playing the CD
in my CD-ROM reader (connected to the audigy2 "Audigy CD" digital input,
100% volume), then I ripped it with cdparanoia. These are the results
(well, I think I went wrong with "very low level". It appears just to be
"lower".)
arecord (IEC958 optical input, Sony MXD-D1)
Maximum amplitude: 0.835510
Minimum amplitude: -0.828491
arecord (Aux IN 2 on the front panel, Sony MXD-D1)
Maximum amplitude: 0.727905
Minimum amplitude: -0.715240
arecord (AudigyCD digital audio CD input, LiteON something DVD-ROM)
Maximum amplitude: 0.832703
Minimum amplitude: -0.828522
cdparanoia:
Maximum amplitude: 0.933868
Minimum amplitude: -0.923676
As for the comparison windows vs linux, I'll reboot in a few minutes then
I'll post the results.

Hi. What's the status of this bug. Any improvement in later ALSA
releases?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
garden - 08-30-05 12:32
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No changes for me. It is still quite low.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
rlrevell - 08-30-05 20:21
----------------------------------------------------------------------
When you say Windows do you mean with the Creative driver? Unfortunately
it's a black box. Do you get the same results with this (vastly superior)
driver:
http://www.kxproject.com
If so then we can compare the AC97 registers.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
pzad - 08-31-05 14:01
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is not in AC97 - it is used only for recording - and is already on
max. I think diffrence are in DSP code.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
rlrevell - 08-31-05 18:54
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Could this be related to the "x4" stuff in the kX driver? Inputs from the
ADC are multiplied by 4 (since the ADC is 16 bit and the DSP 32 bit) then
divided by 4 at the output.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
pzad - 01-26-06 21:52
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I played with DSP and if everything is on 100 % then you get (when
recording) on output of DSP same amplitude of signal as on input.
Playback can be diffrent and can be lower than in windows, but I don't
know, if it is, how much.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
rlrevell - 01-26-06 21:55
----------------------------------------------------------------------
OK, so NOTABUG?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
pzad - 01-26-06 22:03
----------------------------------------------------------------------
For now keep this bug open.
Recording from "mic in" is lower (compared to windows). I will post patch
(capture gain on AC97 needs to be set to 3-6 dB).
Recording from PCM is OK - when all volumes set 100% if you record PCM you
will get same recording volume as it was played.
I need to check recording from "line in" and playback part.

Summary: Audigy2 Platinum: very low volume (both in and out)
Description:
Both the input and output levels of my Audigy2 Platinum seem to be very low
if compared to the same card with Windows (win98se). For example, I
connected an external source (a MD player with very loud music in the
disc) to the optical input, then to the aux input, then to the aux2 input.
With the mixer settings to 100% the input level still does not go over
20-25% of the maximum amplitude (while with Windows I have to lower the
input level or it will be too high). The same thing applies to the output
level of my analog speakers. [I must be *very* careful when I reboot with
Windows and must not forget to turn the volume knob from 10 to 2]. I had
exactly the same problem when I used the emu10k1 drivers from sourceforge.

pzad made me aware of this issue after I reported the problem in the
Creative forum. I have the same symptoms as garden: very low capture
volumes with the Line-level inputs Aux2 (stereo RCA) and Line2 (1/4"),
even with all the ALSA capture volumes set to 100%. I can make the
signals clip in Windows, so I know my source levels are more than
adequate.

snover - 06-21-06 23:18

I am experiencing a similar issue running 2.6.15 (2.6.15-25-amd64-k8) and
ALSA 1.0.10rc3 (Kubuntu Dapper 6.06) where the input levels are very very
low. Also, the "Line In 1/Mic 1" on the breakout box is mapped to Line2 in
ALSA, so "Mic Boost" does not work.

For now keep this bug open.
Recording from "mic in" is lower (compared to windows). I will post patch
(capture gain on AC97 needs to be set to 3-6 dB).
Recording from PCM is OK - when all volumes set 100% if you record PCM you
will get same recording volume as it was played.
I need to check recording from "line in" and playback part.

I played with DSP and if everything is on 100 % then you get (when
recording) on output of DSP same amplitude of signal as on input.
Playback can be diffrent and can be lower than in windows, but I don't
know, if it is, how much.

Could this be related to the "x4" stuff in the kX driver? Inputs from the
ADC are multiplied by 4 (since the ADC is 16 bit and the DSP 32 bit) then
divided by 4 at the output.

This is not in AC97 - it is used only for recording - and is already on
max. I think diffrence are in DSP code.

divided by 4 at the output.

Summary: Audigy2 Platinum: very low volume (both in and out)
Description:
Both the input and output levels of my Audigy2 Platinum seem to be very low
if compared to the same card with Windows (win98se). For example, I
connected an external source (a MD player with very loud music in the
disc) to the optical input, then to the aux input, then to the aux2 input.
With the mixer settings to 100% the input level still does not go over
20-25% of the maximum amplitude (while with Windows I have to lower the
input level or it will be too high). The same thing applies to the output
level of my analog speakers. [I must be *very* careful when I reboot with
Windows and must not forget to turn the volume knob from 10 to 2]. I had
exactly the same problem when I used the emu10k1 drivers from sourceforge.

When you say Windows do you mean with the Creative driver? Unfortunately
it's a black box. Do you get the same results with this (vastly superior)
driver:
http://www.kxproject.com
If so then we can compare the AC97 registers.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
pzad - 08-31-05 14:01
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is not in AC97 - it is used only for recording - and is already on
max. I think diffrence are in DSP code.

Just to keep things updated: the problem stays there also with 2.6.8.1 and
ALSA 1.0.7rc1 (not compiled with the kernel).
----------------------------------------------------------------------
pzad - 09-16-04 10:16
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Driver only attenuate signals. If you set volumes of inputs and output to
100, then you get what is exactly on input.
Windows drivers probably amplify inputs or outputs.
Could you attach output of amixer ????
----------------------------------------------------------------------
garden - 09-16-04 11:37
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is my amixer output.
I think it's very strange that the driver only attenuate signals... I
can't believe that the maximum output from this card is so much more quiet
than the output of an AWE64 (with ALSA and win95 the output volume was
exactly the same).
On this PC I also have an integrated sound card:
0000:00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.
VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 50)
And in this case ALSA and win98 volume is quite the same.
Moreover, I also have very low levels with optical *input*, and I'm sure
that the original signal is near to 100% of volume.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
>Moreover, I also have very low levels with optical *input*, and I'm sure

Try to set "IEC958 Optical Capture" to 100 in alsamixer and record. Then
check recorded file for signal level - maximum level - is this same as
source or it is lower ??? Best will be for example with cd player (optical
output connected to audigy). Recording something from this cd player. Then
you should grab this directly from cd (using some cd rip app) and compare
these two files if there is same volume level (They will be not same,
because emu10k1 always resamples).
Mixer in your other souncards are directly in hardware. On Audigy this
mixer is implemented in DSP software and can be changed. Output or input
can be amplifyed, but you will lose precision of your DAC or ADC.
If you set for example "IEC958 Optical", Front and Master to 100. What is
level compared to windows max mixer settings ???
I will check Audigy mixer if it is correct. Maybe I made some mistake.

I tried to record a CD track (1st mov. of 5th symphony by Beethoven :-))
with a CD player with the optical output connected to the input on the
audigy2 and IEC958 Capture at 100, then I tried connecting it to the RCA
connectors (analog inputs, 100% volume), then I recorded it playing the CD
in my CD-ROM reader (connected to the audigy2 "Audigy CD" digital input,
100% volume), then I ripped it with cdparanoia. These are the results
(well, I think I went wrong with "very low level". It appears just to be
"lower".)
arecord (IEC958 optical input, Sony MXD-D1)
Maximum amplitude: 0.835510
Minimum amplitude: -0.828491
arecord (Aux IN 2 on the front panel, Sony MXD-D1)
Maximum amplitude: 0.727905
Minimum amplitude: -0.715240
arecord (AudigyCD digital audio CD input, LiteON something DVD-ROM)
Maximum amplitude: 0.832703
Minimum amplitude: -0.828522
cdparanoia:
Maximum amplitude: 0.933868
Minimum amplitude: -0.923676
As for the comparison windows vs linux, I'll reboot in a few minutes then
I'll post the results.

Summary: Audigy2 Platinum: very low volume (both in and out)
Description:
Both the input and output levels of my Audigy2 Platinum seem to be very low
if compared to the same card with Windows (win98se). For example, I
connected an external source (a MD player with very loud music in the
disc) to the optical input, then to the aux input, then to the aux2 input.
With the mixer settings to 100% the input level still does not go over
20-25% of the maximum amplitude (while with Windows I have to lower the
input level or it will be too high). The same thing applies to the output
level of my analog speakers. [I must be *very* careful when I reboot with
Windows and must not forget to turn the volume knob from 10 to 2]. I had
exactly the same problem when I used the emu10k1 drivers from sourceforge.

Just to keep things updated: the problem stays there also with 2.6.8.1 and
ALSA 1.0.7rc1 (not compiled with the kernel).

Driver only attenuate signals. If you set volumes of inputs and output to
100, then you get what is exactly on input.
Windows drivers probably amplify inputs or outputs.
Could you attach output of amixer ????

Here is my amixer output.
I think it's very strange that the driver only attenuate signals... I
can't believe that the maximum output from this card is so much more quiet
than the output of an AWE64 (with ALSA and win95 the output volume was
exactly the same).
On this PC I also have an integrated sound card:
0000:00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.
VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 50)
And in this case ALSA and win98 volume is quite the same.
Moreover, I also have very low levels with optical *input*, and I'm sure
that the original signal is near to 100% of volume.

Try to set "IEC958 Optical Capture" to 100 in alsamixer and record. Then
check recorded file for signal level - maximum level - is this same as
source or it is lower ??? Best will be for example with cd player (optical
output connected to audigy). Recording something from this cd player. Then
you should grab this directly from cd (using some cd rip app) and compare
these two files if there is same volume level (They will be not same,
because emu10k1 always resamples).
Mixer in your other souncards are directly in hardware. On Audigy this
mixer is implemented in DSP software and can be changed. Output or input
can be amplifyed, but you will lose precision of your DAC or ADC.
If you set for example "IEC958 Optical", Front and Master to 100. What is
level compared to windows max mixer settings ???
I will check Audigy mixer if it is correct. Maybe I made some mistake.

I tried to record a CD track (1st mov. of 5th symphony by Beethoven :-))
with a CD player with the optical output connected to the input on the
audigy2 and IEC958 Capture at 100, then I tried connecting it to the RCA
connectors (analog inputs, 100% volume), then I recorded it playing the CD
in my CD-ROM reader (connected to the audigy2 "Audigy CD" digital input,
100% volume), then I ripped it with cdparanoia. These are the results
(well, I think I went wrong with "very low level". It appears just to be
"lower".)
arecord (IEC958 optical input, Sony MXD-D1)
Maximum amplitude: 0.835510
Minimum amplitude: -0.828491
arecord (Aux IN 2 on the front panel, Sony MXD-D1)
Maximum amplitude: 0.727905
Minimum amplitude: -0.715240
arecord (AudigyCD digital audio CD input, LiteON something DVD-ROM)
Maximum amplitude: 0.832703
Minimum amplitude: -0.828522
cdparanoia:
Maximum amplitude: 0.933868
Minimum amplitude: -0.923676
As for the comparison windows vs linux, I'll reboot in a few minutes then
I'll post the results.
