Hello everyone, I have an MSI Wind PC (the new desktop, not the nettop). There is an Realtek ALC888 soundchip in it which has three output jacks in the back and one in the front: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01) alsamixer recognizes these controls: Master, Headphone (which, correctly, turn the front-out on and off), Front, (...), Center, LFE, Side, (..). Now, from my previous Soundblaster Live!24 PCI cards I was used to having three outputs per card (hw:0,0, hw:0,1 and hw:0,2). The ALC888, eventhough it has multiple output jacks in the back, only has hw:0,0 . mplayer for example yields an error when trying to play out on hw:0,1 . There seems to be only one player device, which would explain why I can only use one ;) : root@ramp:~# ls /proc/asound/card0/ codec#0 id oss_mixer pcm0c pcm0p pcm4c I have tried the magic of The Google and Them Wiki's - bit to no avail. Is there a way of making the other outputs work so that I can play two or even better three different songs on different outputs? Thanks in advance for pointing me in the right direction, Christian. PS. From also looking at an ALC886 on another mainboard this "multiple outs, but only hw:0,0" seems to be an intel-hda thingy?! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
