problem with .asoundrc

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Could someone tell me why this .asoundrc doesn't work?

defaults.pcm.card "xx"
defaults.ctl.card "xx"
defaults.pcm.device 0
defaults.pcm.subdevice -1


pcm.yy {
    type hw
    card 0
}
ctl.yy {
    type hw
    card 0
}

pcm.xx {
    type hw
    card 1
}
ctl.xx {
    type hw
    card 1
}

alsamixer pukes with:

yan@selene:~$ alsamixer
ALSA lib conf.c:975:(parse_value) card is not a string
ALSA lib conf.c:1588:(snd_config_load1) _toplevel_:1:22:Invalid argument
ALSA lib conf.c:2849:(snd_config_hook_load) /data/home/yan/.asoundrc may 
be old or corrupted: consider to remove or fix it
ALSA lib conf.c:2713:(snd_config_hooks_call) function 
snd_config_hook_load returned error: Invalid argument
ALSA lib conf.c:3076:(snd_config_update_r) hooks failed, removing 
configuration

alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: Invalid argument
yan@selene:~$

If I comment out the defaults* lines it works....

I want to be able to tie a hardware device to a X display, so I am 
looking for a way to select the default for the user at login based on 
the $DISPLAY s/he is using...
