Multiple sound cards on one syst

is that possible? to control different sound environments...
If yes how many can I have on one system, what type of hardware/software to control it's
I will like to have on Windows.

does the store account list the distinct gift cards to select when making a purchase or automatically charge the cc on file?
No.
It charges gift cards first, then from CC.
If you have different users, they should create their own iTunes account and add their gift cads to their own account.

2 Sound Cards. One for Playing, other for Recording. How?

Hi all.
I have 2 sound cards.
One card is my onboard 5.1 channel card. I'm using it for playing.
Also, I have second card, which I want to use for my MIC only.
How can I do this?

cl0wn wrote:well I want to use mic in skype, but I haven't found any way to configure it to do so...
I take it your onboard sound has an option something like "use mic as rear" and so you've got speakers plugged in for 5.1 sound and no socket for a mic?
As Skype doesn't provide separate options of mic/speaker, you need a headset so you can plug mic/earpiece from the headset into your spare soundcard, then configure skype to use /dev/dsp1 (tools, options, hand/headsets).

Multiple sound cards and FP sessions

I would like to provide multiple channels of AOL Radio to my
company's telephone music-on-hold. My Windows XP workstation has an
M-Audiio Delta 1010LT audio card with 4 integrated sound cards. In
Windows Control Panel -> “Sounds & Audio
Devices’ all 4 "cards" are shown and I can set any of them to
the default audio device. An AOL Radio stream will use the default
"card". If I open 2, 3, or 4 sessions, they *ALL* are
simultaneously streamed to the default sound "card" – not the
desired behavior! I can select any one of the 4 “cards”
and assign it as default and as many AOL Radio Flash Player
sessions that are running will stream to that default "card". Thus
all four “cards” can render an audio stream.
My question is this, Is there a mechanism to pair FP sessions
with specific sound “cards”?
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

Hi,
It's hard to say what the cause is of your problem. It may be that LabVIEW is looking at the default sound card in your system and ignores the rest. This may happen if you are using the Play sound VIs.
The way to achieve two outputsis by opening up the WAV
file and use the Snd Write Waveform VI. One of the inputs for this VI
is the device number. Usually they start at 0 and increment by one. You
can have a VI where you open the 2 files and then use 2 write waveform
vis using different device numbers.
You can get all the
information about the soundcards by calling the Windows SDK, however
this can take some work and may be easier to do it in a DLL.
Are you using the Sound and Vibration Toolkit? If so what version? What sound cards are you using and what version of Windows are you using?

Multiple target datalines to multiple sound cards

Is there any way to accomplish the following:
I have 4 distinct sound cards. I am using 4 distinct target datalines (1 dataline per 1 microphone input), each in a separate thread, to sample sound.
Let me start with this question, is this scenario even possible with the current implementation of Java Sound?
If the microphones are in a linear array, spaced evenly apart, I would expect to see the the sound at the last microphone arrive after the sound of the first microphone. However, this does not always occur. This leads me to believe that one or more of the threads reading the target datalines is being starved.
I've checked for buffer overflows as follows:
          int internalBufferSize = tdl.getBufferSize();
                    if (internalBufferSize == tdl.available()) {
                     System.err.println("Buffer overflow detected!");
                     }I'm not getting any buffer overflow errors.
As an experiment, I've attempted to attach multiple target datalines to a single sound device. While that will work fine (i.e., Java doesn't complain), I notice that when I read the data from the target datalines, I'm only getting the data from one or the other lines, but NOT both at the same time. Even though this isn't the same scenario I proposed, is there something in the Java Sound implementation that will prevent one target dataline per sound device in a JVM?
I'm fairly new to Java Sound, and I'm at a complete loss. I've gotten the same solution to work in other languages, however, I need Java for this particular application.

If you give your default sound card index 0 and your USB camera a higher index, it might work.
Thanks a lot. This indeed solved the problem.

Keynote- Can you add multiple sound tracks to one presentation

Can multiple sound tracks be added to the same presentation? For instance, can I add one sound track to play for slides 1-20 and a second, different sound track to play starting at slide 23 thru 36?

Jonathan:
You can create a single Story from each track and set the End Jump for each Story to the next one. Set the End Jump of the last Story to your menu and assign the first one to your PLAY ALL button.
Give it a try !

Solution: 2 sound cards; setting one as default

I've got 2 sound cards in my system: one onboard and one an add-in PCI card. I want to make the better card, the PCI card, the default. But the system seems to detect the onboard sound card first and wants to make it the default card.
I'm coming from Debian/Ubuntu where I had found a solution for this problem. I can't recall exactly what I did to get the PCI card selected as default, but it was probably by specifying modprobe order in /etc/modules. And I couldn't recall the URL of the page where I found that solution. To top it all off, what works under Ubuntu/Debian ain't necessarily gonna work under Arch.
So, I began searching the web for solutions for this problem, favoring results that dealt with Arch. I found a few things that seemed to be relevant but, on careful reading, I found them confusing. I couldn't find any very specific directions to do what I was trying to do under Arch. Instead, I found various bits and pieces of information that seemed relevant but that needed to be put in some comprehensible form. So, I resorted to some fiddling around, hoping I would stumble on a solution. I think I have stumbled onto the solution to the problem of making one of two sound cards be the system's default sound card--at least it appears to be working now on my system. This post will therefore be an attempt to put the necessary information into order, providing a routine that others who may be faced with this task may follow.
The steps are as follows: 1) install alsa-utils; 2) as root, run alsaconf; 3) appropriately edit the file /etc/modprobe.d/sound that alsaconf created in step 3; 4) reboot to find the card you wanted to be the default sound card actually selected as the system's default. An important note: I didn't use alsaconf to do any sound card configuration, though that is its job. The only real role alsaconf played in the routine I used was to create the /etc/modprobe.d/sound file (it seems to create that file after you successully run the command alsaconf). Perhaps the file could be simply created de novo (sudo touch /etc/modprobe.d/sound , set permissions appropriately) and there would be no need to even run alsaconf. I didn't try that, but anyone following these instructions might want to consider doing it this way. Please post your results in this thread if you manually create that file rather than using alsaconf for creating the file.
After I ran alsaconf, the /etc/modprobe.d/sound file contained only two lines, and those lines were specific to the onboard sound chip that I did NOT want to be the default sound card on my system. The lines looked like this:
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0
From documentation I had read, I understood that the zero (0) in these entries was an indication that this onboard Intel sound card would be the default card. If the /etc/modprobe.d/sound file had contained entries for both my cards (not sure why it didn't), then one set of entries (referring the system's default sound card) would have a zero associated with them, while the other set of two entries (referring to the non-default, second sound card) would have had a one (1) associated with them.
With this information in mind, I then managed to get information from my system (by using lsmod, I believe) on what was the module name for my second, PCI card--the one I wanted to be the system's default sound card. The module name is snd_ymfpci. Once I had that information, I manually added a second set of two lines to /etc/modprobe.d/sound so that the file looked as follows:
alias snd-card-0 snd_ymfpci
alias sound-slot-0 snd_ymfpci
alias snd-card-1 snd-intel8x0
alias sound-slot-1 snd-intel8x0
As you can see, the entries for the snd_ymfpci have a zero associated with them, while the built-in intel sound card entries have a one (1) associated with them. I wasn't at all sure that this would bring the desired results but I found that, once I rebooted the system, that the add-in PCI card was actually now the default card for the system, while the intel onboard card was non-default. Thus, I believe I've stumbled on a solution for making the system use one of two sound cards on the system as the default sound card.
Please feel free to add to or correct my instructions. I can't claim infallible expertise in this matter, so there could well be mistakes in either my understanding or in the steps I've spelled out here. Or perhaps there's just a simpler way to do this under Arch.
James
Btw: I'm using the gnome environment. There seems to be a conflict, or at least some friction, between alsa's sound controls and those of the gnome desktop environment. It's a separate problem, but is there some way I can make gnome's sound controls (e.g., gnome's volume control) override alsa's? So far I've found myself using alsamixer to make any real adjustments to the sound.

I've written some post about it somewhere, but there's other ways of setting a default card. What I use at the moment (in XFCE):
The output of cat /proc/asound/cards:
user ~ $ cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [CMI8738 ]: CMI8738-MC6 - C-Media CMI8738
C-Media CMI8738 (model 55) at 0x9c00, irq 17

3 [default ]: USB-Audio - USB Audio DAC
Burr-Brown from TI USB Audio DAC at usb-0000:00:02.0-5, full s
I want to switch between sound-device "CMI8738" and "default" ("default" is a system label not set by me; it's a bit confusing but as you see the system has given the other USB-Audio device another unique label). You could also use the ID numbers, but the drawback of that is that it might change if you plug and unplug USB-Audio devices, hence the unique label is a better choice.
I choose to make a directory like this: /usr/sound. In sound I've to files, could be more if I wanted to switch between other cards as well. First file, named by me "asound_usb":
pcm.!default {
type hw
card default
ctl.!default {
type hw
card default
Another named "asound_pci":
pcm.!default {
type hw
card CMI8738
ctl.!default {
type hw
card CMI8738
The idea is to copy the preferred file to /etc/asound.conf. Hence I made two simple scripts in /bin. "alsa_usb":
#!/bin/sh
cp /usr/sound/asound_usb /etc/asound.conf && /etc/rc.d/alsa restart
And another "alsa_pci":
#!/bin/sh
cp /usr/sound/asound_pci /etc/asound.conf && /etc/rc.d/alsa restart
Writing in terminal from root "alsa_usb" or "alsa_pci" will switch default sound-device. Nothing fancy but pretty handy in my view. If someone prefer to have a desktop entry in /usr/share/applications you could use gksu for example. One I named "alsa_switch_usb.desktop":
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Alsa switch - USB
Comment=Eget skript
Icon=sonata-stock_volume-max.png
Exec=gksu -u root alsa_usb
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=false
Categories=Application;AudioVideo;
Another "alsa_switch_pci.desktop":
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Alsa switch - PCI
Comment=Eget skript
Icon=sonata-stock_volume-max.png
Exec=gksu -u root alsa_pci
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=false
Categories=Application;AudioVideo;
I don't know whether this is an ugly solution or not. Whatever the case is it works very well... for me. The asound.conf works of course as a permanent setting, I just prefer the switch option.

Multiple Sound Cards

I run sound out of my computer from two sources: the native sound card built into my motherboard, and an aftermarket device from Creative Labs called a Sound Blaster X-Fi Go. I use the output from my motherboard to run into my monitor's built-in speakers for regular tasks, and I use the output from the X-Fi to run into a stereo system.
What I would like to do is to run the iTunes output directly into the stereo. However, I don't want to make my system default the X-Fi output, as I'd still like for regular computer sound (games and whatnot) to run through the monitor speakers. When using Windows Media Player for streaming music, I have an option to choose which output source I'd like for that particular program to use. However, I've been unable to locate the same option within iTunes. Does anyone have a solution to making iTunes use the secondary audio output instead of the default?

A way of doing what i think you want is as follows.
Create a GUI containing,
1) A Jtable
2) A Jlist
3) buttons or menus or keylisteners (whichever you want to start your
methods)
Firstly the Jtable columns, should be
1) Track Number (optional)
2) File Name
3) A ComboBox For Mixer
First set up your Jtable to populate the ComboBox with the Mixers available on the system
Second populate the Jlist with names of your mp3 files.
Third add event listeners to either double click on mp3 file names to add them to the Jtable or use the mouse to do this, whichever you prefer.
Then add your play/stop methods. It should go through the rows of the Jtable, checking the mp3 file name, and the mixer slected and then play it through the one ya want!
IF you get this far, you can even add, mute, pan, gain and balance on each row easily enough.
But first things first, if you want to go this way of doing it. Create the GUI , populate the combo box with the mixers and get the mp3 files listed.
Then concentrate on getting the file name into the Jtable and finally get the music playing.
It will take abit of research and head scratching but its very possible.

[SOLVED] Multiple sound cards don't work with Arch

Before you post, make sure you do not list any of these programs that I should use, to configure everything:
alsamixer
alsaconf
kmix
xfce4-mixer
edit: I need to specify what my default sound device is as I have 2 different sound cards, a Logitech ClearChat Comfort, and a TurtleBeach AK-R8.

I use Windows for gaming (in virtualbox) on America's Army, so good audio is a must when you play against the best.
The reason I state that is because those lack the features I need. I am trying to find gnome-sound-properties and since I needed sound working very fast, and a distro that already has it installed, I am currently on Ubuntu (please do not harass me or insult me about this as I hate it very much and I need to get back to software development) since all I need to do is go to System > Preferences > Sound. Is a picture of what I am looking for:

I'm pretty sure the 2nd device is HDMI, but i haven't used it anyway, as i use an external audio interface.

Multiple Sound Card for data acquisition gives read buffer error

I am using 6 usb based sound cards for voltages and currents mearuments of a three phase delta system.. Hardware is working well. but in labview when i use builtin Input=>sound box for data acquisition it also works well upto 4 inputs... but when i use more i.e. 6 it starts giving error "cannt perform action, read buffer is full" some thing like this... som times it goes to "not responding"...i have tried to find the solution and found in another post of this fourm to varry the sampling rate... i did it upto 96000 that is maximum ... but still problem is same...i need to know, how to manually increase the read buffer. if not possible then.. is there any way that labview stop giving any type of error during simulation?

thnx i hv solved that problem ... now there is another problem... i am getting all my signals in computer but problem comes when i use phase detector. it keep on showing different values in phase measurement block.. how can i manage the signal with correct phase. i cannt send code cz it has many VIs and they are spread in computer. so i am pasting come photos that are showing different. look in picture...it is from same signal and the phase is different..

Itunes store multiple gift cards on one account

Using one store account for multiple iPods and users, and having different iTunes gift cards to redeem per user, when entering the card info using Redeem function, does the store account list the distinct gift cards to select when making a purchase or automatically charge the cc on file? Bottom line, want to be able to make purchases and select the CC or gift card to charge against.
Thanks

does the store account list the distinct gift cards to select when making a purchase or automatically charge the cc on file?
No.
It charges gift cards first, then from CC.
If you have different users, they should create their own iTunes account and add their gift cads to their own account.

How do I use multiple GPIB cards in one computer?

I have two GPIB cards installed in my computer. One has aprimary address 0 and the other is 1. The card with adress 0 works fine but when I try to communicate with some instrument via the second card, the instructions are not carried out. However MAX ha detected the presence of instruments on both the cards, but it is only that when the second card(address 1) is used the intructions are not carried to the instrument. Please advise on how to select the card while sending an instruction? Or is it that I can use only one card at a time??

When you say that your commands aren't carried out, could you describe what commands you are sending, and what error is being returned?
When you say that you cannot communicate with the second instrument, are you using the 488.2 Communicator in MAX?
Did you make sure that all the settings for the second GPIB board in the properties page are correct?

Can I merge from Numbers, multiple small cards on one page?

I am trying to set up a page that has business card size text fields, about 8 on a page. I would like to merge from Numbers into these cards but when I do the merge, the first page is all the same card content, then the next page is duplicates of all the next record info. Is it not possible for each "card" I am making to merge different information on one page? Maybe I am trying to do the impossible.

Richard,
Yvan's script as well as the other Tips may give you sufficient options. However, since you were a bit vague about the content, but gave the impression that it is not standard business card content, you may be be interested in a specific option that I favor. I use a transfer table that arranges the Numbers content by card position before you merge. I'll give you a simple example that you can alter to fit your circumstance.
Let's say we have a single column, Column A, of data in Table 1 that we want to merge 8 cards to the page in a Pages document. We'll assume that you have a Header Row and that the data begins in Row 2.
Your Transfer Table will need eight columns (A through H), one for each card position, and a Header Row. The Transfer Table will have titles in the Header Row cells of Card1 through Card8. These titles are the ones you will use when you set up the merge in Pages.
You will Fill the body cells of the Transfer Table with the formula:
=IFERROR(INDIRECT(ADDRESS((ROW()-2)*8COLUMN()1, 1, , , "Table 1")), "")
In the Sheets Pane, drag the Transfer Table to the top of the list. You can't merge from a table unless it is first on the list for the sheet. Here's a graphic...
Save the document and you're ready to merge from it. In your Pages document, you will call for the appropriate column title in the Transfer Table in each of your eight card positions.

Want to use 2 sound cards

I have been checking around and have noticed on some of the web cast sites that there are possibility in using multiple sound cards on one machine. The basic functionality is possible pending IRQ and BIOS settings.
I currently have an older SBLive Platinum W/ Live drive and have tweaked it out pretty nicely for basic I/O.
I was capable of getting most of the routing possibilitys working on that EMU Chipset with an opensource program I found a while back along with the Audigy drivers. I would like to keep using the card and the bay. Could revert very easily back to the original software and drivers.
Enter problem........
I have been made aware of the possibility that the X-Fi Platinum is "in the cards" for X-Mas. And I am intrigued by the newer functionality. Then I start thinkin' see....
2 bays
2 cards
2 midi in
2 midi out
2 headphone
etc. etc. etc.
What about 2 seperate sets of control software that is used for each card. Main output from one, monitor output from the other. Control room out from one, Tape out out the other. ASIO, ASIO, ASIO Hmmm.
I have no experience using two cards in one machine but considering I was given' the first card to begin with and now I may be gettin' a second one of higher quality I wonder If anyone has any data concerning the 2 card issue.
Thanks for any responses in advance.

Hey....
Interesting that this post has a view of 77 and the response I get is a question...... but cool.
I will try to help.
Not that familiar with the 2000 Platform but I would start by doing a full uninstall of the current drivers and software for the SB Platinum. Download the LiveDrive-Uni Pack from the update link. Getting rid of your old audio drivers is a fairly importaant step.
http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/downloadive
Then DL the software if you want all that stuff.
I remember that when I first started fiddling with this unit I had a similiar situation where I could not get the audio on the front bay to function properly.
I think the driver update took care of the issue.
At any rate .... I have just done a clean install of XP, got the video card screamin, and I am going to re-install the Platinum with the drive tonight. I am going to try with a minimum of the bundled software so driver and AudioHQ with Creative mixer are about all I am interested in.
The Emu 10kx drivers are supported on this card as well as the Audigy, with that said the Kx drivers from Lugosoft might be of interest if you cant get the Creative stuff working.
I will post again with the process if all goes well.
There is a whole slew of settings that could go wrong with this IMHO 'GLITCHY' card.
I am gonna' get it to work with the new X-FI If my life depends on it.
