Re: [pulseaudio-discuss] use 7.1 audio chip as 2x stereo?
2009/3/31 Matt Price matt.pr...@utoronto.ca: I need audio for both functions, but only have one audio card. Now, this card has 8 audio channels, but what i really need is 2 stereo outputs. Is it possible, with pulse, to choose which channels to which to route streams? I don't see anything in pavucontrol that would let me do that, and I can imagine that it's impossible due to constraints from the driver. Pavucontrol, or any other GUI can't do that indeed. But splitting the device into two can be done by editing /etc/pulse/default.pa. See http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/Modules#module-remap-sink. If you find the documentation lacking or hard to follow, please complain or improve it yourself. -- Tanu ___ pulseaudio-discuss mailing list pulseaudio-discuss@mail.0pointer.de https://tango.0pointer.de/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-discuss

You have to manually edit the default startup script for Pulseaudio. In Ubuntu this is the file /etc/pulse/default/pa. Use module-remap-sink (http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/Modules#module-remap-sink) like this: load-module module-remap-sink master=sinkname channels=2 channel_map=left,right master_channel_map=rear-left,rear-right As an example this is my setup: load-module module-alsa-sink tsched=0 sink_name=alsa_master device=hw:0 rate=48000 channels=6 channel_map=aux0,aux1,aux2,aux3,aux4,aux5 load-module module-remap-sink sink_name=computer master=alsa_master channels=2 channel_map=left,right master_channel_map=aux0,aux1 load-module module-remap-sink sink_name=room1 master=alsa_master channels=1 channel_map=mono master_channel_map=aux4 load-module module-remap-sink sink_name=room2 master=alsa_master channels=1 channel_map=mono master_channel_map=aux5 load-module module-combine sink_name=everything slaves=computer,room1,room2 update-sink-proplist computer device.description=Computer output update-sink-proplist room1 device.description=Living room update-sink-proplist room2 device.description=Kitchen update-sink-proplist everything device.description=The whole house set-default-sink copmuter The update-sink-proplist commands are only available in what's going to bet Pulseaudio 0.9.15. I set up pulse as a system daemon (http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/SystemWideInstance), which might also be good for your purpose. To do this in Ubuntu, flip the switch in /etc/default/pulseaudio and alter the commands in the file /etc/pulse/system.pa.

If I do indeed go with 2 x sessions that's what i'll certainly do. I guess then I could choose a default virtual device for the user in charge of each X session, which would be great. thanks so much... matt ___ pulseaudio-discuss mailing list pulseaudio-discuss@mail.0pointer.de https://tango.0pointer.de/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-discuss
