Good day, I hope that I have a simple question, but I'm not able to figure out how to solve the next problem: I have mine Creative Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro sound card connected trough the SPDIF connection with an external amplifier. (This is the only connection) I have created the .asoundrc file with only the next line: pcm.!default spdif so all music will go to the amplifier. This works great, but now I can not play two or more sounds at the same time. Is there a solution for this problem? So configure a mixer or something like that. I hope that someone can help me, floris ========================================= floris@Jessica:~$ aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: Audigy2 [Audigy 2 ZS [2001]], device 0: emu10k1 [ADC Capture/Standard PCM Playback] Subdevices: 31/32 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 Subdevice #1: subdevice #1 Subdevice #2: subdevice #2 Subdevice #3: subdevice #3 Subdevice #4: subdevice #4 Subdevice #5: subdevice #5 Subdevice #6: subdevice #6 Subdevice #7: subdevice #7 Subdevice #8: subdevice #8 Subdevice #9: subdevice #9 Subdevice #10: subdevice #10 Subdevice #11: subdevice #11 Subdevice #12: subdevice #12 Subdevice #13: subdevice #13 Subdevice #14: subdevice #14 Subdevice #15: subdevice #15 Subdevice #16: subdevice #16 Subdevice #17: subdevice #17 Subdevice #18: subdevice #18 Subdevice #19: subdevice #19 Subdevice #20: subdevice #20 Subdevice #21: subdevice #21 Subdevice #22: subdevice #22 Subdevice #23: subdevice #23 Subdevice #24: subdevice #24 Subdevice #25: subdevice #25 Subdevice #26: subdevice #26 Subdevice #27: subdevice #27 Subdevice #28: subdevice #28 Subdevice #29: subdevice #29 Subdevice #30: subdevice #30 Subdevice #31: subdevice #31 card 0: Audigy2 [Audigy 2 ZS [2001]], device 2: emu10k1 efx [Multichannel Capture/PT Playback] Subdevices: 8/8 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 Subdevice #1: subdevice #1 Subdevice #2: subdevice #2 Subdevice #3: subdevice #3 Subdevice #4: subdevice #4 Subdevice #5: subdevice #5 Subdevice #6: subdevice #6 Subdevice #7: subdevice #7 card 0: Audigy2 [Audigy 2 ZS [2001]], device 3: emu10k1 [Multichannel Playback] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: Audigy2 [Audigy 2 ZS [2001]], device 4: p16v [p16v] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 ========================================================== floris@Jessica:~$ aplay -L front:CARD=Audigy2,DEV=0 Audigy 2 ZS [2001], ADC Capture/Standard PCM Playback Front speakers rear:CARD=Audigy2,DEV=0 Audigy 2 ZS [2001], ADC Capture/Standard PCM Playback Rear speakers center_lfe:CARD=Audigy2,DEV=0 Audigy 2 ZS [2001], ADC Capture/Standard PCM Playback Center and Subwoofer speakers side:CARD=Audigy2,DEV=0 Audigy 2 ZS [2001], ADC Capture/Standard PCM Playback Side speakers surround40:CARD=Audigy2,DEV=0 Audigy 2 ZS [2001], ADC Capture/Standard PCM Playback 4.0 Surround output to Front and Rear speakers surround41:CARD=Audigy2,DEV=0 Audigy 2 ZS [2001], ADC Capture/Standard PCM Playback 4.1 Surround output to Front, Rear and Subwoofer speakers surround50:CARD=Audigy2,DEV=0 Audigy 2 ZS [2001], ADC Capture/Standard PCM Playback 5.0 Surround output to Front, Center and Rear speakers surround51:CARD=Audigy2,DEV=0 Audigy 2 ZS [2001], ADC Capture/Standard PCM Playback 5.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Rear and Subwoofer speakers surround71:CARD=Audigy2,DEV=0 Audigy 2 ZS [2001], ADC Capture/Standard PCM Playback 7.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Side, Rear and Woofer speakers iec958:CARD=Audigy2,DEV=0 Audigy 2 ZS [2001], ADC Capture/Standard PCM Playback IEC958 (S/PDIF) Digital Audio Output null Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: SourceForge.net Community Choice Awards: VOTE NOW!
