I wonder why enabling all the options breaks sound entirely on my system. Huh. I have actually built .deb packages for all of these from the Debian experimental sources. I'd like to make these available on an Ubuntu PPA, but there a few issues to resolve first: o I'd like the --with-card-options=all to work to be as generally applicable as possible for multiple people o There is one bug in the generated /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base (simple typo) o There is some conflict with the ubuntu 32 bit library location (apparently Ubuntu bundles all the 32 bit libs in a single package? not alsa specific... very strange) If I can sort through that - or get some tips on it (I'm no package maintainer) I'd be happy to post the packages to make this a little less painful for others. > sudo make > sudo make install > cd ../alsa-lib* > sudo ./configure > sudo make > sudo make install > cd ../alsa-utils* > sudo ./configure > sudo make > sudo make install > cd ../alsa-plugins* > sudo ./configure > sudo make > sudo make install > > sudo reboot > cat /proc/asound/devices > aplay -l # will see device 0,3 > > sudo alsamixer # unmute the IE958 entry > sudo alsactl store 0 > > #must do this as sudo... doesn't work yet as a paste.. > cat > /etc/asound.conf << DELIM > defaults.pcm.device 3 > DELIM > > Note, I never see any indication of HDMI with aplay -L, only with aplay -l > > At that point, I can get sound by the Pref-Sound panel, switching everything > to nVidia HDMI. > > Also note that you appear to need 177.80 to get any sound, and 177.82 if you > want 5.1. I am using 177.80. According the hda-intel and patch_nvidia source in alsa, it only supports 2 CH PCM at 44kHz (maybe it was 48, I'm not sure). However, I am able to pass AC3 directly across the HDMI and my AVR decodes the Dolby Digital 5.1 channel signal from DVDs and ATSC streams just fine. -- Darren Hart -- Darren Hart ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
