Hi all, Another (minor) issue I'm having with ALSA is that the digital output is shut down when no sound is playing. When the digital output is shut down, my external amplifier loses sync and displays "unlock" on its display. The problem with this is that when I play a sound again, it takes a couple of seconds for the amplifier to regain sync, so I'm always missing the first couple of seconds of sound - and notification sounds like incoming e-mails/IMs are as good as silent, as they've finished playing by the time the amplifier syncs again. Is it possible to either have the dmix plugin *not* release the audio device when no sound is being played, or to tell the Intel HDA driver not to shut down the digital output when the audio device has been closed? Thanks, Adam. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
