Please give more information. I have a Audiotrak Maya EX7 (USB)
(8 channels) and would love to use it as 2 (or 3 or 4) stereo devices.
Please also give a hint on how to enable shared access to these pseudo
stereo devices. I would like to be able to pause rather than quit pytone
(or alsaplayer) before listening to the radio.
What do I think of my Audiotrak Maya EX7? I don't think that it sounds
quite as good as my M-Audio Audiophile USB (that I returned because it
didn't work with Linux 2.6) but at least it does work. One problem is
that the RCA sockets are recessed and the access holes are so small that
any RCA cables with plastic shielding around the grounding ring don't fit.
The EX7 also seems a lot more sensitive to other activity on the host
computer. I have two machines, on which I could use the Audiophile
(without too many pops), on which I get more pops than sound with the EX7.
(I am lucky that on my music machine the USB controller is on IRQ 9.)
How do I increase the buffering (latency) with the EX7? Is there any
buffering in the EX7 itself? How can I change its size? I would much
rather have 0.5 seconds of latency than pops.
At the moment my, simple, .asoundrc contains (something similar to)
pcm.headphones {
type plug
slave {
pcm {
type hw
card 1
}
}
}
pcm.hifi {
type plug
slave {
pcm {
type hw
card 1
}
}
ttable {
0 { 4 1 }
1 { 5 1 }
}
}
but, of course, I cannot use the headphones and the hifi at the same time.
