Hi. I succeed to record through digital device of this card. I used this .asoundrc: (almost the same as the one for 5.1 setup described into ice1724 wiki page): # 8 channel dmix: pcm.dmix8 { type dmix ipc_key 1024 ipc_key_add_uid false ipc_perm 0660 slave { pcm "hw:0,0" rate 48000 channels 8 period_time 0 period_size 1024 buffer_time 0 buffer_size 5120 } } # upmixing: (I added two channels) pcm.ch71dup { type route slave.pcm dmix8 slave.channels 8 ttable.0.0 1 ttable.1.1 1 ttable.0.2 1 ttable.1.3 1 ttable.0.4 1 ttable.1.5 1 ttable.0.6 1 ttable.1.7 1 } pcm.duplex { type asym playback.pcm "ch71dup" # upmix first capture.pcm "hw:0,0" } #I tried to did a second device for digital input pcm.duplex1 { type asym playback.pcm "ch71dup" # upmix first capture.pcm "hw:0,1" } # change default device: pcm.!default { type plug slave.pcm "duplex" } # for aoss pcm.dsp "duplex" pcm.dsp1 "duplex" I obtained the followind results, using slack12 with built in alsa and audacity, in kde using realtime priority of arts: - I can record (as said before) from digital input (using duplex1 or the device hw:0,1 itself as listed by audacity); - I can record from digital input while listening to side channels a previously recorded track (using duplex1 or duplex as my output device); - I managed to reach only 30 ms setting from audacity; setting a lower rate I couldn't record while playing another track; Unfortunately I still have this problems: - in slack 12 I can't raise input volume through alsamixer; I push the arrow keys, but it remains stuck to 0 or raises randomly; - in JAD 1.0 (jacklab) I can raise input volume (multichannel input) normally (it has alsamixer 1.0.13); - I tried to record something with my guitar using analog inputs; both in slack and in JAD I record only silence, even though the VU meter says that there's an high signal; - the signal registered by VU meter seems to be noise, because it is always at the same level; that is, it is not the sound of my guitar playing that causes that signal. At the end: 1) Is there a way to set input volume of a device directly from .asoundrc? 2) Since the digital input works also without any .asoundrc, is it possible that digital input causes in some way the malfunctioning of the analog input? Thanks a lot for any answer and help. Bye Sim ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
