A NOTE has been added to this issue. ====================================================================== <https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=2144> ====================================================================== Reported By: prodiger Assigned To: ====================================================================== Project: ALSA - driver Issue ID: 2144 Category: PCI - intel8x0 Reproducibility: always Severity: minor Priority: normal Status: new Distribution: Debian unstable Kernel Version: 2.6.19 ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 05-22-2006 20:41 CEST Last Modified: 05-23-2006 11:46 CEST ====================================================================== Summary: Devices hw:0,0 and hw:0,4 do not play the same output (anymore?) Description: I'm desperately trying to do the following thing on my laptop: While at home I use the S/PDIF over an optical wire while anywhere else I have to use either the built-in speakers or headphones. It should be just like that: Unplugging the optical wire should activate the built-in speakers. This works very well under Windows and was working with an earlier version of ALSA (i guess 1.10, but not sure about this). I am able to play to different things on both devices simultaneously, e.g. I open XMMS twice, the first plays on hw:0,0 the other one on hw:0,4...works perfectly. But is there ANY way to always play the same things over both devices? Any way to do so in /etc/asound.conf? I tried really EVERY combination with capturing with alsamixer, there is no working configuration. And as I said, i think this was working with earlier versions of ALSA, maybe this is a bug? ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- rlrevell - 05-22-06 21:35 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Are you sure this used to work? Is it possible to verify it by booting a live CD with an old ALSA version? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- prodiger - 05-23-06 11:46 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- No, I am not sure. I just installed a 2.6.14 kernel again and used the built-in ALSA driver. I couldn't reproduce it anymore. I even installed the old 1.0.10 from alsa-project.org drivers but it didn't work either. So maybe I'm wrong, maybe it never used to work. Either way, it SHOULD work i think. Sound output to both devices simultaneously is working already so I'd carefully say (i really have no idea how alsa works, unfortunately) it should be easy to just copy the output stream from hw:0,4 to hw:0,0 (maybe there is a way in /etc/asound.conf?) As I'm using this driver on a laptop and have only one (physical) output for digital/analog signal there is no point in having to independent devices anyway. Also, there is also no way of controlling the volume of the digital output with alsamixer. There's simply no device listed there that affects it. In the end i think this bug report should probably turned into a wishlist report although I think, the behaviour described above is quite important and standard.
