Hello all, In attempting to get my soundcard working as expected (all output via hdmi) (hw:0,3) by default, I've encountered a bit of difficulty. Hoping someone familiar with asoundrc is able to give me some pointers. I simply tried putting the following in /etc/asound.conf defaults.pcm.device 3 That does result in most audio going to the hdmi port but in the case of ac3 passthru which can also route via hdmi, things complain that there is no iec958 subdevice. Without the defaults.pcm.device line, iec958 does exist but is mapped to the spdif port (hw:0,1), how can I fix this. Also, using this method seems to limit the sampling rate out pcm.default to 48khz and I don't know why, though it does support multiple streams. If on mplayer I use -ao alsa:device=hw=0.3 or plughw, I get the 96khz sampling rate of the track. I'm guessing alsa needs to decide on a sampling rate from the get-go in the event multiple streams need playing but since this machine doesn't use multiple streams, is there any way to turn off downsampling from 96khz or 192khz. I do need upsampling for streams < 44khz though as the hdmi port will have none of that.
