Hi,
I've an issue with my new Creative Audigy sound card.
I'm using a Debian Squeeze (with official 2.6.32-5-amd64 kernel) system.
I've done this step to ensure I'm using the latest version:
sudo module-assistant auto-install alsa (which installed the driver from
alsa-driver 1.0.23's package)
The sound card is correctly detected and it's working, but I've an
issue, in that each channel appears as a different device.
So in all the software using Alsa I have to select a device and it
outputs on a single stereo channel for this particular device.
For example, this command lists:
# aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: CA0106 [CA0106], device 0: ca0106 [CA0106]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: CA0106 [CA0106], device 1: ca0106 [CA0106]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: CA0106 [CA0106], device 2: ca0106 [CA0106]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: CA0106 [CA0106], device 3: ca0106 [CA0106]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

I've an empty .asoundrc (Using a more complex .asoundrc I'm able to
duplicate a channel to all other channels, but it's only duplication,
it's the same sound on all channels)
As such the audio softwares usually list this while enumerating the devices:
ALSA device: hw:CA0106,0 outs=2-2 ins=2-2 rates=3
ALSA device: hw:CA0106,1 outs=2-2 ins=2-2 rates=3
ALSA device: hw:CA0106,2 outs=2-2 ins=2-2 rates=3
ALSA device: hw:CA0106,3 outs=2-2 ins=2-2 rates=3
I want them to list a single device with 8 outputs, and not 4 devices
with 2 outputs.
I have other systems with different sound cards and it's the first time
I'm seeing this.
Best regards,
Cyril
