Hi guys, merry Christmas ! I have reported before some clicks with USB asynch SPDIF converter (Halide Bridge) on Touch
Have made a try with voyage-mpd linux dist 0.7 on a hard drive --> noclick : http://www.voyage.hk/download/voyage-mpd/voyage-mpd-current.tar.bz2 This minimum debian based dist have recents mpd/alsa updates and nothing more, and is designed for flash drive (reduce the number of rw). A tip: I have installed locale ISO-8859-1, avoiding problems with audio file with special chars: apt-get update apt-get install locales dpkg-reconfigure locales A nice site for audio tweaking, it's look this guy did not publish these efforts on DIYaudio, therefore is not depressed after too many rude comments: http://sites.google.com/site/computeraudioorg/ For those with a mac 10.6, try this freeware app, audirvana, it's in development, great sound. Cheers Maybe some help for the Touch: ----------- m...@voyage:/proc/asound# find . -type f -exec cat {} \; Bridge 003/002 21b4:3002 Halide Design SPDIF Bridge at usb-0000:00:1d.1-1, full speed : USB Audio Playback: Status: Stop Interface 1 Altset 1 Format: S24_3LE Channels: 2 Endpoint: 1 OUT (ASYNC) Rates: 44100, 48000, 88200, 96000 USB Mixer: usb_id=0x21b43002, ctrlif=0, ctlerr=0 Card: Halide Design SPDIF Bridge at usb-0000:00:1d.1-1, full speed closed closed closed card: 0 device: 0 subdevice: 0 stream: PLAYBACK id: USB Audio name: USB Audio subname: subdevice #0 class: 0 subclass: 0 subdevices_count: 1 subdevices_avail: 1 card: 0 device: 0 subdevice: 0 stream: PLAYBACK id: USB Audio name: USB Audio subname: subdevice #0 class: 0 subclass: 0 subdevices_count: 1 subdevices_avail: 1 00-00: USB Audio : USB Audio : playback 1 G0: system timer : 1000.000us (10000000 ticks) P0-0-0: PCM playback 0-0-0 : SLAVE 0 snd_usb_audio 0 [Bridge ]: USB-Audio - SPDIF Bridge Halide Design SPDIF Bridge at usb-0000:00:1d.1-1, full speed 2: : timer 3: : sequencer 4: [ 0- 0]: digital audio playback 5: [ 0] : control Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.23.
