This create a full duplex device pcm.!default { type asym playback.pcm { type plug # plug is usefull to adjust rate conversion slave.pcm "hdaloop_out" } capture.pcm { type plug slave.pcm "dsnoop:0,0" # dsnoop is used to be able to open capture device more than once } } This one takes in input a 2 channel stream and create a 4 channel output stream copying channels pcm.hdaloop_out { type route slave.pcm "multi" slave.channels 4 ttable.0.0 1 ttable.1.1 1 ttable.0.2 1 ttable.1.3 1 } This split a 4 channel stream to 2 channels streams and play them through main sound card and the secondary one. Anyway this is an example, i don't know you configuration, i supposed you have hw:0,0 and hw:1,0 but it should be different. aplay -l should list your devices. You can try to avoid dmix and use directly hw : slaves.a.pcm "hw:0,0" # main sound card Anyway you'll prabably have problem of synchronization. http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/TwoCardsAsOne bye, Dino pcm.multi { type multi slaves.a.pcm "dmix:0,0" # main sound card slaves.a.channels 2 slaves.b.pcm "dmix:1,0" # usb sound card slaves.b.channels 2 bindings.0.slave a bindings.0.channel 0 bindings.1.slave a bindings.1.channel 1 bindings.2.slave b bindings.2.channel 0 bindings.3.slave b bindings.3.channel 1 } 2009/10/1 Neil Sutton <swift_gti@xxxxxxx>: > Thanks for that, just tried it out but when using it I don't get any sound > at all.. from either device. > I think I understand the config up to where it's specifying pcm.!default but > not sure what it's doing after that. > When I try to play a wave file using aplay I get; > > xbmc@Revo-ION:~$ aplay testing.wav > Playing WAVE 'testing.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 11025 Hz, > Mono > ALSA lib pcm_params.c:2135:(snd1_pcm_hw_refine_slave) Slave PCM not usable > aplay: set_params:957: Broken configuration for this PCM: no configuration > available > Is there any other output I can get that could help figure out what's gone > wrong? > > Many Thanks > Neil > >> Date: Thu, 1 Oct 2009 10:02:25 +0200 >> Subject: Re: Clone Audio between onboard card and USB adapter >> From: dino.puller@xxxxxxxxx >> To: swift_gti@xxxxxxx >> CC: alsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >> >> Try this configuration: >> >> pcm.multi { >> type multi >> slaves.a.pcm "dmix:0,0" # main sound card >> slaves.a.channels 2 >> slaves.b.pcm "dmix:1,0" # usb sound card >> slaves.b.channels 2 >> bindings.0.slave a >> bindings.0.channel 0 >> bindings.1.slave a >> bindings.1.channel 1 >> bindings.2.slave b >> bindings.2.channel 0 >> bindings.3.slave b >> bindings.3.channel 1 >> } >> >> pcm.hdaloop_out { >> type route >> slave.pcm "multi" >> slave.channels 4 >> ttable.0.0 1 >> ttable.1.1 1 >> ttable.0.2 1 >> ttable.1.3 1 >> } >> >> pcm.!default { >> type asym >> playback.pcm { >> type plug >> slave.pcm "hdaloop_out" >> } >> capture.pcm { >> type plug >> slave.pcm "dsnoop:0,0" >> } >> } >> >> 2009/10/1 Neil Sutton <swift_gti@xxxxxxx>: >> > Hi All, >> > >> > I'm currently trying to setup Alsa so that it clones all the audio sent >> > to >> > my default soundcard (just bog standard onboard connected via headphone >> > jack) and duplicates the output to a USB soundcard. >> > >> > I checked out the documentation for the asoundrc config but it's not >> > making >> > too much sense, the 'copy' plugin example seems way more complex than >> > what >> > i'm looking for. >> > >> > Currently I've got this, but i'm only getting audio output from the >> > default >> > onboard card.. >> > >> > >> > pcm.!default { >> > type plug >> > slave.pcm "dup" >> > } >> > pcm.dup { >> > type copy >> > slave.pcm "hw:0,0" >> > slave.pcm "hw:1,0" >> > } >> > >> > Here is the output of aplay -l (the first device is my default, the last >> > is >> > the one I want to clone to) >> > >> > >> > **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** >> > card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 0: ALC662 Analog [ALC662 Analog] >> > Subdevices: 0/1 >> > Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 >> > card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: NVIDIA HDMI [NVIDIA HDMI] >> > Subdevices: 1/1 >> > Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 >> > card 1: Audio [USB Audio], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio] >> > Subdevices: 1/1 >> > Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 >> > >> > Can anyone spot where I've gone wrong ? >> > >> > Many Thanks! >> > ________________________________ >> > Beyond Hotmail - see what else you can do with Windows Live.
