Ok I managed to get rid of that garbled background noise now I get underrun messages... $ aplay -D hw:2,1 5_5_2006__07_00_59.wav Playing WAVE '5_5_2006__07_00_59.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 9600 Hz, Mono underrun!!! (at least 0,271 ms long) underrun!!! (at least 0,248 ms long) [...] I can hear the sound clearly, but looks like these 200ms cause a choppy sound... I also tried to add support for this device to snd-usb-audio, but since this device has no synchronisation packets the driver fails... Does anyone know what causes such a buffer underrun? I think it still has something to do with the snd_pcm_hardware_t values... maybe the time will come when I'm not the only one on this ML who answers my questions....
