 Posted: Wed Jan 18, 2006 8:55 am Post subject: ALSA SPDIF not working anymore |
 |
|
Hi,
for a few time my ALSA digital out SPDIF doesn`t work anymore, i have a via82xx and connected an YAMAHA Ampilfier , it worked correct and perfect for all the time. I don't if it is a problem with the kernel or the ALSA. I ' ve tried alsa 1.0.10 and the unstable 1.0.11-xx , I 'm using gentoo-sources (2.6.15-r1) . Played around with the alsamixer settings but nothing (the card is OK, in Winblows it works)
Another one with this problem ?
thx , sebulba128 |

Warning: rate is not accurate (requested = 44100Hz, got = 48000Hz)
please, try the plug plugin (-Dplug:hw:0,2)

| Hi, i have installed ALSa like on the Gentoo ALSA Guide. It worked only odver SPDIF when i unmuted IEC98xx in alsamixer and put the Volume to 0%. PCM and Master i have muted, because i don`t want to hear anything on my notebook. Setting in XMMS, Mplayer,.... as ALSA - Device hw0:1 works for me now to play AC3 and PCM over my Yamaha Receiver. I can post you my alsa conf-files , if this works not for you. |

Hi everyone,
I'm having the same problem as described since the last emerge. I'm using an Asus A8N-E board with n-force 4 chipset. I also looked through my config files, but all seemed fine. I had a look at settings that sebula128 described, but they where already set, the only thing is that i have only an hw0:0 and hw0:2. But this was till the last emerge no problem, xmms and the other applications worked fine with the alsa default device.
Here you can see my devices:
| Code: |
aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: CK804 [NVidia CK804], device 0: Intel ICH [NVidia CK804]
Subdevices: 1/1

card 0: CK804 [NVidia CK804], device 2: Intel ICH - IEC958 [NVidia CK804 - IEC958]
Subdevices: 0/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
|
Someone a different hint? |

Hi again,
i partly fixed my prob, even if it's not really satisfying. I also worked through the Gentoo Alsa Guide, but no changes. So I looked around on Gentoo-Wiki an found an article about HowTo Dolby Digital, so i tryed as discribed to run a videa-dvd with an ac3 audio stream using the mplay application with the following paramateres:
| Code: |
mplayer dvd:// -ao alsa:device=spdif -ac hwac3
|
The film started, still no sound. Then suddenly an icq contact wrote a message and i heard the icq sound. So i started xmms and there's also sound, the only prob is, as soon as i exit the mplayer, the speakers mute.
Anyone a good idea howto solve this prob? Maybe I have to change my sound.state again? |

i late sorry, here is my alsa.state in /etc:
You can use alsaconf to configure your soundcard and with alsamixer i have set IEC958, IEC958 Output, External Amplifier and all the VIA DXS to UNMUTE. Setting in all applications as hardware device to hw0:1 worked for me perfectley. And remeber to put the Output volume to 0% at IEC958 . This works vor the VIA Chips don't if it is the same with others.
here is my alsa.state in /etc:

No change with your config. But i have figured out that is only a config problem. But at this time i dont know how i can solve it.
If i make the following command i hear the DD5.1 sound:
| Code: |
mplayer dvd:// -ao alsa:device=spdif -ac hwac3
|
and if i make this command
i hear pcm sound over spdif:
| Code: |
mplayer dvd:// -ao alsa:device=spdif
|
But i can't not use this command:
| Code: |
mplayer dvd:// -ao alsa:device=hw:0,2 -ac hwac3
|
This device can i use beause of the routing spdif to cards.pcm.iec958 this can you see with the command:
also can i use the device iec958 because it is also routed to cards.pcm.iec958 you can see it in the command
The problem is that i cant use this defice in alsa-xmms here can i only use hw:0,0 ; hw:0,2 or hw:0,2
Also i would like to hear my oss sound from games over the spdif.
Have any some ideas how i can solve this problem?? |

I have had loads of problems getting SPDIF playback going, the solution was to use plug:spdif as the output device. This seems to work great.

Hi it's me again,
i fixed my prob by by adding the following code to my /etc/modules.d/alsa:
| Code: |
# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss
alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss
# Set this to the correct number of cards.
options snd cards_limit=1
|
As mentioned before, i'm using an Asus A8N-E, copied the code from Gentoo-Wiki.com, which at the moment seems to be down. I hope that this helps you...
