Soundblaster Sound Card -SOLVED-

[Lanfranco]

I have this Soundblaster sound card that I bought many years ago to decrypt weather satellite signals with my radios.

With aplay -l it is seen and called Pro…

These are the settings I put on WebConf… but it doesn’t work

@Lanfranco

but it doesn’t work

Does zynthian start with no audio input? Does zynthian start with no audio output? Does zynthian not start with errors in the log?

[Lanfranco]

Thanks @riban…it stops on the boot screen with ERROR Audio/Midi
I was about to write to you but I received a phone call and I wasted time… sorry.

[riban]

Try each of these settings,one at a time;

hw:1,0

hw:1,1

There are 2 devices on the sound blaster. We need to see if either works.

[Lanfranco]

I confirm that the money we spent on your education was well spent … With hw:1.1 it works perfectly… with hw:1.0 no

[riban]

Cool! Okay, you should be able to use hw:Pro,1. Try it please.

[Lanfranco]

Work perfectly!!! Thanks @riban

I am curious @Lanfranco , can you use the weather signals and turn it into sounds? Weather mod Matrix ?

[Lanfranco]

Hi, the “sound” of digital (Meteosat) is practically unheard… it’s a very low-volume white noise-like hiss. The old APT weather satellites, on the other hand, used a signal similar to old fax machines, a whistling sound that repeats at the same pitch… Nothing as fascinating as Matrix. Below is a video of reception from a NOAA weather satellite.

You have to skip ahead a bit in the video until NOAA comes into hearing range.

Fascinating, thanks for sharing.
