I am not subscribed to linux-kernel, I am reading it on the web.
I have ICE1724, a very good sound card to my taste, works like a charm.
But with ALSA I had a really hard time to configure it properly, wanna
see my .asoundrc?
Not particularly. I don't count as a great fan of the config file syntax
and don't use any configuration myself.
Do you have an SPDIF out? If you don't then you don't need .asoundrc of
course.
The first thing I don't know is why you need an .asoundrc at all.
Because I want to route it differently, sometimes to spdif, sometimes to
headphones, sometimes to mix sounds from different apps. Well, my config may
be a bit ancient as it was written when dmix was not default.
I've CCed
the alsa-user list -- some subscribers to it probably have experience with
ice1724 and might be able to get you specific advice if you want.
I have read some advices for ice1724 already. The main reason I wrote to
lkml -- I hate .asounrc and reading docs about it. I hate "flexebility" that
requires restarting apps after changing sound routes.
Is there a tool which can be used to configure .asoundrc?
vi.
I perfectly know this one. I would like to use some really user-friendly tool.
I want to be able to hear sound from flashplayer on my reciever or in my
headphones -- how?
Not sure? Is your receiver on an analog output and are your headphones
My receiver is on spdif out.
connected directly to a card output as well? In that case, "or" would seem
to be just a mixer issue, and "and" would be dependent on hardware
abilities and needs someone who knows your specific card and setup.
It's not quite clear to me how to get full duplex working with my
.asoundrc.
It's not working without an .asoundrc?
Looks like it's not working with. As skype is not so informative.
But -- I'll personally not continue this very specific subthread simply due
to not having the hardware, nor great generic experience with an .asounrc
due to not needing it myself. When I do use one, I alway start by googling
up a few examples and take it from there. Perhaps someone from alsa-user
will step in.
I am not about ice1724 or .asounrc here. I am trying to talk about
user-friendliness of ALSA. It's very unfriendly.
In the case of S/PDIF output on ice1724 (and probably other cards), it
would be nice if ALSA defaulted to routing default audio to both the
S/PDIF and analog ports, as this is what most users would normally
expect.. The Windows drivers work like that, but on Linux you have to
pick one or the other (at least without a bunch of mucking with the
config file).
