Never heard of > that expression. plughw is an alsa device that makes sure the hardware gets data in a format it can use. It doesn't include dmix, an automatic mixer that adjusts the sample rate to match what the card can process. As near as I can tell, the default device is plughw with dmix added. The hw device is the raw hardware, though it seems it is sometimes used as a synonym for plughw. That means you are responsible for all conversions to match the data the card can use internally. > Have following versions on this machine: > alsa-oss-1.0.14-23 > alsa-1.0.14-31.2 > alsa-utils-1.0.14.27 > > Does that mean update time? > > I think it would be a good idea. Many many changes have been made to alsa since 1.0.14. The beta versions of 1.0.17 are in circulation right now. Do everything, not just pieces. Including the drivers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
