Using ALSA for Custom Real Time Audio Effects

Former Member
Former Member over 10 years ago

Hi,

 

I am working on a project where I use a Cirrus Logic Audio Card with a Raspberry Pi to implement a reverberation effect for a guitar. The idea is to use the line in port of the Cirrus card to capture the data one sample at a time, put that sample through some custom C code that I have already finished, and then put the new sample out through the line out port. I have been having a lot of difficulty figuring out how to capture one sample at a time in real time in a way that I can run my C code on it. After reading and asking many questions and discussions I believe it might be necessary to write some custom C code within the ALSA development library. However, I am not experienced at this type of development and was wondering if anyone could help me figure out how to integrate my C code with ALSA so that I can perform real time custom audio effects. (Or if there is a way to do it without ALSA, that is also fine).

 

Thanks for any help,

 

Ryan

    Another resource I found

     

    http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/6735?page=0,2

     

    for recording

     

    and

    Introduction to Sound Programming with ALSA | Linux Journal

     

    for playback

    Michael, is the ALSA subsystem fast enough for reliable audio effects or do you need to talk to the raw devices and do what ever processing there?

    I don't know, John. I would think it should be for simple effects. But I'm no expert on ALSA. He's running into issues just reading and writing it right back out with no effects.
