I have Creative Labs [SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio] CA0110-IBG and I want to decode AC3 stream coming from spdif and output sound to analog out. I use PS3 as the source. I can't get any sound with this soundcard: speaker-test -c 6 -t wav -D hw:2,0 speaker-test 1.0.22 Playback device is hw:2,0 Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 6 channels WAV file(s) Rate set to 48000Hz (requested 48000Hz) Buffer size range from 64 to 5440 Period size range from 32 to 2720 Using max buffer size 5440 Periods = 4 was set period_size = 1088 was set buffer_size = 5440 0 - Front Left Write error: -5,Input/output error xrun_recovery failed: -5,Input/output error Transfer failed: Operation not permitted So I use other card for analog output. Capturing and playing 2ch linear pcm works well: arecord -D hw:2,1 -f dat -t raw -c 2 --disable-resample --disable-channels -- disable-format --disable-softvol | aplay -D hw:0,0 -f dat AC3 fails: arecord -D hw:2,1 -f dat -t raw -c 2 --disable-resample --disable-channels -- disable-format --disable-softvol | mplayer -demuxer rawaudio -rawaudio format=0x2000:rate=48000:channels=2 -ac ffac3 -ao alsa:device=hw=0.0 - [ac3 @ 0x2d67150]unsupported frame type : skipping frame [ac3 @ 0x2d67150]frame CRC mismatch [ac3 @ 0x2d67150]frame sync error [ac3 @ 0x2d67150]frame CRC mismatch [ac3 @ 0x2d67150]frame sync error [ac3 @ 0x2d67150]frame CRC mismatch ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
