Firstly, have you tried using the 'aplay -D hw:N,M' command followed by the name of an LPCM wave file and tried various values to see if any choice of N and M produce sound? e.g. does something like 'aplay -D hw:0,0 <wavefilename here> do nothing, or does it give an error, or... ? Secondly, did you obtain the above results from a specific command or prog? if so, what? Thirdly, have you tried adding a simple section to your .asoundrc file to explicitly define which card and device and the 'default' along with some basic settings? e.g. I use pcm.!default { type plug slave { pcm "hw:1" channels 2 format S24_3LE } } in my .asoundrc to specify that a specific device the system identifies as hw:1 (and which expects the S24_3LE format) is to be used as default. Have you tried that with various values for the "hw:", starting either with no other entries for things like 'format' and then experimented on the basis of the info you have? I can't immediately diagnose your problem as I don't yet know enough. Someone else may be able to do so! But replies to the above may help. Afraid I am myself a learner, no expert on ALSA. But when I asked for help here myself I noticed the tendency of others to simply say "use jack" or "use pulse" or similar. Which to me seems not to help much if - like myself - you actually want to understand and diagnose the problem, and have posted on an ALSA list because you want to do this using ALSA! :-) Slainte, Jim -- Electronics http://www.st-and.ac.uk/~www_pa/Scots_Guide/intro/electron.htm Audio Misc http://www.audiomisc.co.uk/index.html Armstrong Audio http://www.audiomisc.co.uk/Armstrong/armstrong.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Offer-- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE (a $49 USD value)!
