It's possible you could get the card and then none of the ALSA developers will have time to help and you'll have to do all the work yourself.

And if you can read and understand it you know what to do. The best workaround for the time being (if you can't simply reduce the volume in the app) is to just write a script that implements "Master volume" by controlling Front, Rear, Center/LFE at the same time.

Make sure to credit the peson you got the patch from: https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=172 Just FYI, this small patch was not all that was needed to fix the original problem - there were some larger changes made recently to the driver that enabled this to work (and broke backwards compatibility).

Yes - without the full specs to every device that ALSA supports it's
impossible to get this right 100% of the time. Often it means the
devices are present in your soundcard but the outputs simply aren't
hooked up to anything.

I'm not surprised, vendors are under incredible pressure to "weed out inefficiencies" which in real life means "cutting corners". Hardware quality declines every year.

And the device is not connected through a hub?
Other USB devices work on the same port?
Have you customized the kernel config?

That does not guarantee the OSS audio and MIDI drivers are disabled, you have to make sure they are disabled in the kernel config, or blacklist them. If it's a fully modular kernel then just check the output of "lsmod". Sorry I am out of ideas.

This won't work as you are trying to play an S16_LE .wav file to the hw
device which only supports S32_LE. You must use plughw to play
normal .wav files on this device.

See above - you are trying to capture 8 bit audio from the hw: device

[Alsa-user] Skype
I am afraid the well known Skype+aoss problems may be unfixable from the ALSA side. It appears that the Skype binary is self modifying and takes extensive measures to make sure it is not being run in a debugger or emulator. This almost certainly would eliminate any LD_PRELOAD hacks from working. http://www.secdev.org/conf/skype_BHEU06.handout.pdf [^] I believe the only solution to get Skype working with dmix etc. is for the Skype developers to add proper native ALSA support.

Not on the same bus at least with 1.1 (as USB bandwidth limits the number of channels of audio), and the only 2.0 device supported sounds terrible (Audigy2 NX). You could do it with 2 USB buses, 2 jackd's and jack_diplomat. Lee --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

Nope, just the opposite - it's too easy to bother explaining ;-) Configure your apps to output to the "front", "rear", and "center_lfe" devices to use them as independent stereo pairs.

Never mind, this is an alsa-lib bug. I'm having the exact same problem
and I can't figure it out - it looks like it should work. You'll have
to wait for a fix.

No, because aoss uses the "default" device, not "dsp0".
Isn't the easiest way to switch to set tvtime to output to /dev/dsp1?

You can do it with JACK, if the app has JACK support or you can get it to work with oss2jack or the JACK ALSA plugin. You have to use a solution like jack_diplomat if you want to use 2 cards that aren't synced by word clock.

Seems a bit silly that such a simple task requires editing obscure config files, that don't have a stable interface, and that you had to post to this list to figure it out. Does anyone know if any distro has solved this problem cleanly? I know Ubuntu has a nice interface for setting the default soundcard for ALSA apps, but I don't think it can control the loading of drivers (which determines which card binds to /dev/dsp for example).

By cleanly I mean a generic method preferably with a GUI that is not distro specific (even a KDE/GNOME specific app would be an improvement over a different method for each distro). And it's not a kernel problem, the kernel already provides mechanisms to control the loading of modules (the module options, hotplug, udev, etc). There just needs to be a reasonable interface to it.
