Package: creox Version: 0.2.2rc2-3+b1 Severity: important Hi!
Thanks for maintaining creox in Debian. I am trying to see if I can use it with my electric guitar (connected to the sound card mic-in through a DI box). From a hardware point of view, the setup seems to work, since I can hear the clean sound of the guitar coming out of my speakers (even without creox running!). However, when I start creox, no effect seems to work: changing any setting in the interface, before or after clicking on the "play" button makes absolutely no difference in the output sound: I invariably hear a clean sound, as if creox was not running at all (it probably comes directly from ALSA, completely by-passing creox and possibly jackd...). Please note that jackd seems to be correctly started at creox request: $ set | grep JACK JACK_START_SERVER= $ cat ~/.jackdrc /usr/bin/jackd --temporary --driver=alsa $ creox kbuildsycoca running... jackd 0.116.1 Copyright 2001-2005 Paul Davis and others. jackd comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; see the file COPYING for details JACK compiled with System V SHM support. loading driver ..

My options for creox set system:capture_1 and system:capture_2 as left and right input channels. system:playback_1 and system:playback_2 are the left and right output channels, respectively. None of them are left disconnected. My soundcard has three input sources, configured as follows via alsamixer: Input Source [Front Mic] Input Source 1 [Line] Input Source 2 [Mic] I connected my guitar to the [Front Mic], but I also tried to use [Mic], with the same results. During the tests I've performed, I noticed a *very* awkward thing. While listening to music with audacious (with Jack Output Plugin), I can run creox and set audacious-jack_11132_000:out_0 and audacious-jack_11132_000:out_1 as left and right input channels: with this setup, if I click on the creox "play" button, creox applies its effects to the audacious output! For instance, it is able to further distort the music I listen to (the music I listen to is typically already distorted on its own, that's why I said "further"!). In other words, creox is able to apply effects to the audacious output, but I cannot figure out how to convince it to apply effects to my guitar! :-( Please help! -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (800, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages creox depends on: ii kdelibs4c2a 4:3.5.10.dfsg.1-2 core libraries and binaries for al ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.20-2 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libaudio2 1.9.2-1 Network Audio System - shared libr ii libc6 2.9-12 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libfontconfig1 2.6.0-3 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.3.9-4.1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.4.0-5 GCC support library ii libice6 2:1.0.5-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libidn11 1.15-1 GNU Libidn library, implementation ii libjack0 0.116.1-4 JACK Audio Connection Kit (librari ii libjpeg62 6b-14 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libpng12-0 1.2.37-1 PNG library - runtime ii libqt3-mt 3:3.3.8b-5 Qt GUI Library (Threaded runtime v ii libsm6 2:1.1.0-2 X11 Session Management library ii libstdc++6 4.4.0-5 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 2:1.2.1-1 X11 client-side library ii libxcursor1 1:1.1.9-1 X cursor management library ii libxext6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxft2 2.1.13-3 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxi6 2:1.1.4-1 X11 Input extension library ii libxinerama1 2:1.0.3-2 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxrandr2 2:1.3.0-2 X11 RandR extension library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.4-2 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxt6 1:1.0.5-3 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-13 compression library - runtime creox recommends no packages. creox suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
