 |
|
I use ampache on a headless server, and I got sick of the onboard soundcard, so I chucked in a sblive.
I made a file called /etc/asound.conf
| Quote: | pcm.!default {
type hw
card 1
device 0
}
ctl.!default {
type hw
card 1
} |
and so now XMMS plays through the new default device (hw:1,0 instead of hw:0,0), which is great. Sounds MUCH better than before. When I play through mpg123, it still plays though the old sound card.
Any ideas anyone? |

Switch the card assignment order in /etc/modules.d/alsa so that the sblive is card 0 and the onboard card 1. This is just an example, I actually have my onboard sound disabled in the bios.
| Code: | alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
alias snd-card-1 snd-via82xx |
Hopefully that will work for you. If not, disable the onboard sound if possible.

I didn't compile as modules. I compiled into the kernel.
I think I'll disable the onboard sound through the bios. You're right. Thanks. |

I couldn't disable it in bios, so I did I downloaded the manual for the motherboard and changed a jumper setting, disabling the onboard sound.
I always thought that buying a sblive to use instead of using onboard sound was a little bit of 'wankery'. I'm amazed at the differrence in sound quality. Just the absense of background noise is extremely noticable. I'll never use onboard ever again for anything now!
Thanks for your help guys. |
