I've done some more testing: cat /proc/asound/devices 0: [ 0] : control 1: : sequencer 4: [ 0- 0]: hardware dependent 6: [ 0- 2]: hardware dependent 8: [ 0- 0]: raw midi 9: [ 0- 1]: raw midi 10: [ 0- 2]: raw midi 11: [ 0- 3]: raw midi 16: [ 0- 0]: digital audio playback 18: [ 0- 2]: digital audio playback 19: [ 0- 3]: digital audio playback 20: [ 0- 4]: digital audio playback 24: [ 0- 0]: digital audio capture 25: [ 0- 1]: digital audio capture 26: [ 0- 2]: digital audio capture 28: [ 0- 4]: digital audio capture 32: [ 1] : control 33: : timer 56: [ 1- 0]: digital audio capture 57: [ 1- 1]: digital audio capture so I think one of the following devices must be the right one: 16: [ 0- 0]: digital audio playback 18: [ 0- 2]: digital audio playback 19: [ 0- 3]: digital audio playback 20: [ 0- 4]: digital audio playback but when I try: mplayer some.mp3 -ao alsa:device=hw=0,0 mplayer some.mp3 -ao alsa:device=hw=0,2 mplayer some.mp3 -ao alsa:device=hw=0,3 mplayer some.mp3 -ao alsa:device=hw=0,4 There isn't any sound mplayer some.mp3 -ao alsa:device=spdif still works perfect When I make a .asoundrc file with pcm.!default spdif I am able to use the sound programs, but I can't use more then one program [AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: setup.c:96:(snd_sctl_install) Cannot lock ctl elem [AO_ALSA] Unable to set hw-parameters: Device or resource busy So I'm back where I started :-( Floris schreef: > I'm sorry to report that the connection with the external amplifier > doesn't work > any more.
