Hi, I am trying to configure my Audio2DJ soundcard. First, I put the following to ~/.asoundrc as proposed in the Native Instruments forum: --- pcm.djA { type plug; slave.pcm "hw:Audio2DJ,0,0"; } pcm.djB { type plug; slave.pcm "hw:Audio2DJ,0,1"; } pcm.djAB { type multi # bind hardware devices slaves.a.pcm djA slaves.a.channels 2 slaves.b.pcm djB slaves.b.channels 2 # bind channels to virtual device 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 } --- The configuration works fine, when I run aplay -D djA test.wav aplay -D djB test.wav I hear the sound on the corresponding output. However, I cannot play two sounds on djA at the same time, because the second call aplay -D djA test.wav yields: aplay: main:608: audio open error: Device or resource busy So I tried the dmix plugin and appended the following to my ~/.asoundrc: --- pcm.djAmix { type plug slave.pcm "dmixer" } pcm.dsp0 { type plug slave.pcm "dmixer" } pcm.dmixer { type dmix ipc_key 1024 slave { pcm "hw:Audio2DJ,0,0" period_time 0 period_size 1024 buffer_size 8192 rate 44100 #many new cards are 48000 only } bindings { 0 0 1 1 } } ctl.dmixer { type hw card Audio2DJ } --- Now, when I run aplay -D djAmix test.wav I get: ALSA lib pcm_direct.c:909:(snd1_pcm_direct_initialize_slave) requested or auto-format is not available ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1022:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to initialize slave aplay: main:608: audio open error: Invalid argument Can anybody tell me how to configure Audio2DJ to play several sounds at the same time on the same output? Thank you very much for your help! Fabian ___________________________________________________________ GRATIS für alle WEB.DE Nutzer: Die maxdome Movie-FLAT!
