i'm tryin to get audio to work on a new board. so far nothing i've tried works. aplay -l reports: **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], device 7: HDMI 1 [HDMI 1] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], device 8: HDMI 2 [HDMI 2] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], device 9: HDMI 3 [HDMI 3] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: Generic_1 [HD-Audio Generic], device 0: ALC888-VD Analog [ALC888-VD Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: Generic_1 [HD-Audio Generic], device 1: ALC888-VD Digital [ALC888-VD Digital] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 my goal is to default to the first one in that list. [time passes; looks like i found a partial solution...] this: pcm.!default { type hw card Generic device 3 } ctl.!default { type hw card Generic } reports: aplay: set_params:1349: Channels count non available but some gui apps succeed, so that does not seem fatal. nonetheless, any ideas on how to fix that? -JimC -- James Cloos <cloos@xxxxxxxxxxx> OpenPGP: 0x997A9F17ED7DAEA6 _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
