 Posted: Tue Dec 05, 2006 11:17 am Post subject: xine/alsa/two soundcards |
 |
|
As my onboard sound is very bad (no digital out, only headphones)
i bought myself a terratec aureon 5.1 usb. i changed /etc/modules.d/alsa to:
| Code: |
alias snd-card-0 snd-usb-audio
alias snd-card-1 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-usb-audio
alias sound-slot-1 snd-hda-intel
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 sound-service-1-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-1-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss
alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss
options snd-usb-audio index=0
options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1 model=ref index=1
alias /dev/dsp1 snd-pcm-oss
options snd cards_limit=2
|
and restarted alsa (rebooted, too).
the soundcard works in audacious and kde (arts). but if i try to use
xine (with amarok) it tells me it is unable to initialize any audio drivers.
do i need to remerge anything? another hint?
| Code: |
[ebuild R ] media-sound/alsa-driver-1.0.14_pre20061130 USE="oss -debug -doc" 0 kB

EDIT: I think arts only works because it uses oss to play sounds. when i tell arts to use alsa, it wont work.

Have you fiddled with Engine parameters in Amarok configuration, especially the output plugin?
You probably need to select Oss as output, rather than Autodetect (or Alsa). |

any ideas? alsamixer only shows me the "master" channel on the usb sound card, and this even doesn't control anything? most important is spdif though.
