I updated the .cpp file up in the start of the thread.

make aborts with an error about not finding soundcard.h - even though it is present in /usr/include?

Mike, here is the output of ossmix (i am using OSS.tcz, so the 4.1 oss); i also tried to change the volume for pcm2, and even if it apparently does it, it doesn't seem to:

tc@box:~$ ossmix

Juanito:  Sorry, I should have thought of that.  I posted the soundcard.h back at the top of the thread, but I'll attach it here too.  I downloaded this version straight from the OSS home repository.

alu: It looks like your sound device is similar to Juanito's, so if it works for Juanito, it would be likely to work for you too. I'll put together a package request with the latest code and ask one of the site admins to post it here.  I'm not supposed to post .tce's and .tcz's directly.

OK, flit compiles now - but soundcard.h in base-devs is already OSS ready?

I'm not sure of the expected behaviour, but flit now has a "loudspeaker with sound coming out of it" icon and if I hold the cursor over it, it says "250", which seems like it corresponds to 25.0dB

Same here.
Here is the output starting with the found device:

Sound ctrl. new value is 250

Robert:  That helps.  It the mixer control type of 19 indicates it is a MIXT_STEREODB type (marked obsolete in the header!).  I added support for this type, I hope, in version 0.9.0.   I'm only doing a proportional conversion between the dB and % values, so perhaps a large part of the range won't be useful.  Maybe later I can do a more-mathematically appropriate value conversion.  

Here is the updated version of the source.  I'll also post an update to the top of the thread.

EDIT: Issue with DIAG compile problem fixed.

I didn't see a change - note that "about" still reports 0.8.9 and "help" gives "unable to follow the link ./flit_help.htm, no such file or directory", maybe not implemented yet?

Looking good nonetheless  :)

Same results on v.0.9.0. Unable to change volume.
DIAG enabled now does not compile.

EDITED:

Here is a fixed 0.9.0 with DIAG already enabled and  much more diag output, including details during the OSS parameter selection proccess.

RobertS: if you can run this, please post the full list of OSS mixer control parameters that Flit considers.

Juanito:  When you can spare the time, could you get the very latest flit.cpp, compile, run it, and capture the output during the OSS parameter selection?  It's posted two comments back.

Here is the initial output when I run it, although it should now run through ALL of the parameters:

Code: [Select]
Mixer device is 'ICH AC97 Mixer (STAC9750)', priority 10
There are 60 controls in the mixer
--->    0       Considering volume control item: '', type 0, flags 0x4
                        (not selected)
--->    1       Considering volume control item: 'vol', type 1, flags 0x84
                        (not selected)
--->    2       Considering volume control item: 'vol', type 5, flags 0x403
===>    2       Selected volume control item: 'vol'
...

The 0x0400 flag bit indicates field MAIN_VOLUME, and type 5 is STEREOSLIDER.  I hope we can see a combo of type and flags that will indicate a useful parameter.  Do you have a command-line option that works with ossmix to set the sound volume?

Re: Flit: an FLTK-native "tray" with clock, sound control, and battery monitor
« Reply #28 on: August 30, 2009, 08:25:05 PM »
Well, I'm stumped.   ???  I tried to get the vmix mixing controls working in my TC installation, but can't.  I have a /dev/oss/oss_ich0/pcm0 device node, but not a .../pcmin0 node, which I think I need to have vmix be able to sample and retransmit system audio.  If I start up ossxmix (GUI mixer), all of the vmix VU meters are dead, and changing the volume sliders has zero affect.  I tried the vmixctl utility, but it does not seem to help. To go any further on this path, we might need some help from someone with more OSS experience and knowledge.

I also don't know how the "jack.(color).*" controls that some of you have (High Definition Audio systems?) work, so I can't have Flit automatically pick one if the OSS flags don't look right. But maybe one of those is useful for controlling the sound?  But I think the bottom line for now is: If you can get the sound to adjust in ossxmix or ossmix, it should be possible in Flit too.

In my own system, I can get Flit to control the sound with either the control parameter "vol" or "pcm", both of which show up in ossmix and ossxmix and do the expected thing (both adjust the output sound level).  

To give users some flexibility, Flit version 0.9.1 has a new config parameter: oss_control_name.  If it is not specified, or if it is specified as "autosel", Flit will check the flags for each OSS mixer control and try to pick an approrpriate one (like before).  But note that if Flit only finds a vmix* control, and your vmix is not properly attached (like mine), it still won't work.  However, you can specify the exact name of a control if you know that it will work in your setup.  I think a "mute" control could be specified too, so even if you don't have a volume "slider", Flit might still be able to togge the mute setting.  (Could someone test this?  My hardware does not expose a "mute" mixer control type.)

Full Diag version of the latest code is posted here.  The help .htm is also updated.

Mike,

Great News!
This version 0.9.1 is working on both my desktop and netbook.
Great Job.

Now if there could just be an ALT combo to adjust sound up/down as netbooks typically don't have a wheel.
