[Bug 31699] Re: Can't use other than default sound card
Daniel, thanks a lot for your detailled explanation. This requires some more changes, asoundconf currently always uses a '!' for strings, so I should teach it not to, and instead specify the ! in the argument given to it. ** Changed in: alsa-utils (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => In Progress ** Changed in: alsa-utils (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Martin Pitt ** Also affects: control-center (Ubuntu) Severity: Normal Priority: (none set) Status: Unconfirmed -- Can't use other than default sound card https://launchpad.net/bugs/31699 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

If those changes are never going to change, shouldn't they be in the global configuration rather than in .asoundrc.aoundconf?

I alsa filed a duplicate of this bug (bug 42214). The mail sent out recently by Mr. Chen was very extensive and seems to provide a solution to the problems. I'd be very grateful if this could soon be resolved.

I now have two problems: 1) I cannot hear any sound outputted through ALSA with the Audigy2 card. 2) I have set the values as Mr. Chen suggested. However, if I strip the "!" from defaults.ctl.card, I get errors: ALSA lib conf.c:1592:(snd_config_load1) /home/toby/.asoundrc.asoundconf:8:0:Invalid argument ALSA lib conf.c:2837:(snd_config_hook_load) /home/toby/.asoundrc may be old or corrupted: consider to remove or fix it ALSA lib conf.c:2700:(snd_config_hooks_call) function snd_config_hook_load returned error: Invalid argument ALSA lib conf.c:3066:(snd_config_update_r) hooks failed, removing configuration amixer: Mixer attach hw:1 error: Invalid argument ALSA lib conf.c:974:(parse_value) card is not a string -- Can't use other than default sound card https://launchpad.net/bugs/31699 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 31699] Re: Can't use other than default sound card
Regarding point 1). I cannot hear the "sound outputted through ALSA with the Audigy2 card" as the system still seems to route it to the ICH6. You can probably tell, also, that I have two cards; an ICH6 (0) and an Audigy2 (1). -- Can't use other than default sound card https://launchpad.net/bugs/31699 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 31699] Re: Can't use other than default sound card
Now, I have it working so that sound comes through the Audigy, with these values: !defaults.pcm.card Audigy2 defaults.ctl.card Audigy2 defaults.pcm.device 0 defaults.pcm.subdevice -1 However, the Master channel no longer seems to affect the output volume. I have to use PCM instead. It's no bother, I'm just curious. The issue where the Audigy2 was outputting no sound seems to have fixed by me completely reconfiguring ALSA, so it's safe to say that it can be ignored, I think. -- Can't use other than default sound card https://launchpad.net/bugs/31699 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

@.t.: Yes, the values that you currently have in ~/.asoundrc.asoundconf are correct for a multi-card configuration.

Post scriptum for comment above: --rate=48000 is just for example, for this card such rate is aviable, it gives the same error with -f cd or --rate=44000 too, so there is no difference. -- Can't use other than default sound card https://launchpad.net/bugs/31699 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 31699] Re: Can't use other than default sound card
Pecisk, I doubt that this is any other issue than that your device does not support the S16_LE, nor the U8 sample format. See the -f, --format option in the arecord manpage. I don't recall at the moment how to determine which formats a particular card supports but there are a great many formats to choose from. After googling a little I think the correct format for your card is S32_LE. Try the same command you did before except with -f S32_LE and let us know if it works. If that doesn't help please open a new bug report. -- Can't use other than default sound card https://launchpad.net/bugs/31699 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Those variables are already in the global configuration file(s) [0], but the presence of ~/.asoundrc overrides them.
