Hi all, I've commited updated name hint code into ALSA repo. The result of 'aplay -L' on my notebook is: default:CARD=Intel HDA Intel at 0xc8000000 irq 122, ALC880 Analog Default Audio Device front:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel at 0xc8000000 irq 122, ALC880 Analog Front speakers surround40:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel at 0xc8000000 irq 122, ALC880 Analog 4.0 Surround output to Front and Rear speakers surround41:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel at 0xc8000000 irq 122, ALC880 Analog 4.1 Surround output to Front, Rear and Subwoofer speakers surround50:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel at 0xc8000000 irq 122, ALC880 Analog 5.0 Surround output to Front, Center and Rear speakers surround51:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel at 0xc8000000 irq 122, ALC880 Analog 5.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Rear and Subwoofer speakers surround71:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel at 0xc8000000 irq 122, ALC880 Analog 7.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Side, Rear and Woofer speakers iec958:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel at 0xc8000000 irq 122, ALC880 Digital {Playback} IEC958 (S/PDIF) Digital Audio Output null Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture) The behaviour is configurable: # put this line to ~/.asoundrc to see all your PCM definitions # without hint {} section defaults.namehint.!showall on # put this line to ~/.asoundrc to see all extended PCM definitions # (like hw and plughw) defaults.namehint.!extended on Also, I suggest to add "plugsurround" and "plugspdif" devices into alsa.conf and move current definitions from basic to extended level.
