Hi I have installed Voyage MPD on an old FICpc. It runs well apart from a very annoying problem:-
The FICpc has an internal CS5535 sound chip, which CANNOT be disabled in the BIOS I am using a Music Streamer II+ DAC, and require MPD to connect to the DAC. On boot, the FICpc randomly changes the order and numbering of the devices thus:- root@voyage:~# aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: Audio [CS5535 Audio], device 0: CS5535 Audio [CS5535 Audio] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: II [Music Streamer II+], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 OR root@voyage:~# aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: II [Music Streamer II+], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: Audio [CS5535 Audio], device 0: CS5535 Audio [CS5535 Audio] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 This of course screws up the MPD conf:- audio_output { type "alsa" name "My ALSA Device" device "plughw:0,0" # optional # format "44100:16:2" # optional # mixer_device "default" # optional # mixer_control "PCM" # optional This problem is known and there are lots of suggested ways to fix it in the ALSA wikis, using alsa-base.conf or asound.conf to control the card numbers. Unfortunately none of the suggested fixes work, the card numbers still randomly switch. (I have a feeling that V3.0 kernel takes different parameters to those suggested in the wikis) I finally found a post from someone who appears to have had the sane issues, and he has a very, very, complicated method of fixing using udev rules. My question is :- Has anyone a simple way of locking the assigned card numbers at boot, on creating a mpf.conf file that will select the usb dac whatever its card number? Your help will be much appreciated. regards Patrick -- View this message in context: http://voyage-linux.34677.n3.nabble.com/Voyage-MPD-0-8-problem-tp3614574p3614574.html Sent from the Voyage Linux mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Voyage-linux mailing list Voyage-linux@list.voyage.hk http://list.voyage.hk/mailman/listinfo/voyage-linux
