Hello. I just got a new PC and installed OpenSuse 11.1 (having ALSA 1.0.18) there. The old computer had OpenSuse 11.0 with ALSA 1.0.17. I have E-MU 0404 USB soundcard and I have such .asoundrc to use it: ===== pcm.!default { type plug slave.pcm "asymUsb" } pcm.asymUsb { type asym playback.pcm "dmixUsb" capture.pcm "dsnoop" } pcm.dmixUsb { type dmix ipc_key 1024 default 0600) slave { pcm "pcmUsb" period_size 1024 } } pcm.pcmUsb { type hw card USB } ===== After the switch (from ALSA 1.0.18 to 1.0.17 is the one that counts, I guess) there's a strong noise (high-pitch, sounds a bit like there was an over- amplification or smth) while playing sounds. If I use slave.pcm "pcmUsb" instead of "asymUsb" the noise is gone and everything is fine (besides the incapability of simultaneous sounds), so I guess it's dmix's fault. Any clue why? -- Silver ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
