Hi, I'm using aloop in a box without any soundcard to loop wave files to an input device in skype. The audio works, but crackles and pops a lot. Yesterday when i set it up i could play a 44.1/16/stereo wave file through it without problems, but today that didn't work and i got the "set_params:909: Channels count non available" error. Switching to plughw:0 from hw:0 fixed that, but instead i get crackles and pops, so the audio is quite hard to listen to. I play files with: aplay -D plughw:0 file.wav Skype uses aloopin as input device which is defined like this in .asoundrc: pcm.aloopin { type hw card 0 device 1 subdevice 0 } ctl.aloopin { type hw card 0 device 1 subdevice 0 } Skype also uses plughw:1 as output devices to prevent conflicts with aplay Thanks ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
