Apparently the old lesson of if it ain't broke...don't fix it! has never
sunk in with me.
I'm currently running the RRAbuntu distro of Rivendell on a PC and I've had
little or no problems except making multiple sound cards work in order to
voicetrack on the same machine without affecting the program feed.
My existing (working) setup included an on board Intel card (snd_intel8x0)
which was my primary playout card from RDAirPlay and for all other
purposes. I also had a PCI Audigy card that never quite worked but was in
the machine nonetheless.
I attempted to connect a USB sound card (manufactured by NuMark) to the PC,
and I removed the Audigy card since it wasn't being used. After this, the
on board Intel card was no longer working and all audio was coming from the
NuMark card...however it was so low that there's no way I could use it
without opening the pot on my board WIDE OPEN...don't want to do that.
So I admitted defeat again, shutdown the system, removed the USB card and
re-installed the Audigy card. Upon restarting the system I no longer have
ANY sound and if I go into RDAdmin Manage Hosts Hostname -- Edit
RDAirPlay I can set all my cards to 0 but I have no port choices.
They're all grayed-out.
If I look under the Audio Ports button of my host settings Card 0 is using
the ALSA driver, however all the port options are grayed-out here as well.
When I check rdalsaconfig under active devices I see Audigy 1 listed (with
irq 22 and some other info listed) -- this is listed as playback 1 and 2...
Then Intel 82801BA-ICH2 is there as well with irq 17. It has a 1 and 2 as
well, but then it's listed two times as invalid pcm device.
Under available devices I see Audigy 3 and 4, however I'm unable to make
changes to the /etc/asound.conf file even though I am the admin on this
machine.
Is there a better way to fix this...or is their even a way to fix this? If
anyone out there has any advice or knows of a fix (short of blowing it up
and starting over) I'd greatly appreciate the help/advice/etc.
Also, I can't figure out WHERE in Ubuntu to go in order to just completely
disable a sound card (i.e. the Intel one), or where to go in order to
adjust the gain on one's output.
Thanks,
Logan
