Hi, First of all, sorry my english. I don't a expert, but i'll try to help you. Try to change you pcm.both to this: pcm.both { 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 } Create a pcm type route to copy every channel to channel of other sound card. # This to make a stereo output for both sound card pcm.2asone { type route slave.pcm "both" ttable.0.0 1 ttable.1.1 1 ttable.0.2 1 ttable.1.3 1 } If you need converts channels, rate and format on request. Use he to applications like xmms and others that let to change alsa configurations. pcm.2as1plug { type plug slave.pcm "2asone" # hint for KDE phonon hint { show on description "Output to two sound cards" } } If you want to make he a default: pcm.!default { type plug slave.pcm "2as1plug" # Or # slave.pcm "2asone" } Maybe a pcm with dmix before pcm.both, to share the sound output for more than one application at same time. The shell command aplay -l will show the number of every card and the device. Understanding this command, make easy to create pcm to share cards. # First Sound Card pcm.2asone_ATISB_dmix { type dmix # ipc_key is a unique number # for every ALSA pcm ipc_key 170300 # "hw:Sound-Card-Number,Device-Number" # Sound Card Number of aplay -l # Device-Number of aplay -l slave.pcm "hw:0,0" } # Second Sound Card pcm.2asone_ATIHDMI_dmix { type dmix ipc_key 170310 slave.pcm "hw:1,3" } If you use this pcm dmix above, you must change the pcm names HDA and lifechat in pcm.both If i not forgot anything, that's all.
