Hello group, I have a board with an integrated Realtek ALC 883 soundcard. Using jackdIi get playback_1 thru playback_8, 1&2, 2&3 and so on being the left/right channels on front, side, center and LFE. The problem seems to be that I cannot access those channels individually using mplayer (or any alsa-capable player that is). mplayer -ao jack:port=playback_3 test.mp3 plays out the given mp3 quite nicely on channel 3 _and only there_ (it does have a few soundbugs (ticking noice) though). Funny thing is: mplayer -ao alsa:device=hw=0,1 test.mp3 does not work at all (only 0,0 does work). My guess would be that I need to write a special .asoundrc to "split" my card into 8 individual channels, I just don't know how to do that. Reading the docs and searching google and this mailing list has confused me greatly, but I still cannot write my own .asoundrc. Maybe onw of you can help? Best regards & thanks in advance, Christian. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
