Looks like the open of HD-audio stream failed by some reason.
When you open via aplay, is the corresponding stream already opened
by another?  Take a look at /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/sub0/* files.

Also, try the latest alsa-driver snapshot in

Hi Takashi,

Thanks for the quick response.  Yes, the HD-audio stream open fails because Asterisk has previously opened it.  aplay cannot open it (error -22).  However, dmix should remedy the situation.  It should provide software mixing for Asterisk and aplay so that the output of both is mixed and output to the analog audio channel.  I will try your latest drivers.


Best Regards,

This same scenario works flawlessly with HDMI channel.  Asterisk and aplay out put is mixed and send to the HDMI channel.
