Hi, I'm trying to duplicate audio output to 2 cards. One card is intel HDA with VIA VT1708S codec and another is USB-Audio - Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000. (alsa driver 1.0.23) Following some examples in alsa wiki I created .asoundrc: ======= pcm.!default plug:both ctl.!default { type hw card Intel } pcm.both { type route slave.pcm { type multi slaves.a.pcm HDA slaves.a.channels 2 slaves.b.pcm lifechat 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 } ttable.0.0 1 ttable.1.1 1 ttable.0.2 1 ttable.1.3 1 } ctl.both { type hw card "Intel" } pcm.lifechat { type hw card default } pcm.HDA { type hw card Intel } ctl.lifechat { type hw card default } ctl.HDA { type hw card Intel } ====== It does not work, I'm getting the message: aplay -vD both <some_wave_file> aplay: set_params:1059: Channels count non available /proc/asound/pcm contains the following: 00-00: VT1708S Analog : VT1708S Analog : playback 2 : capture 2 00-01: VT1708S Digital : VT1708S Digital : playback 1 01-00: USB Audio : USB Audio : playback 1 : capture 1 I found out that if I change the bindings like that: bindings.0.slave a bindings.0.channel 0 bindings.1.slave b bindings.1.channel 0 it starts working, but the sound is only heard from left channels of both cards. I definitely misunderstand "client channel" / "slave channel". Could someone please explain how I should define channels or refer me to some clear explanation? (I did check http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/alsa-lib/pcm_plugins.html, but still miss something).
