Strangest thing, I can route xmms to ardour2 and see the signals coming in (leds bouncing), but actual sound coming out of the 2496 alludes me. >> >> I fear this is something simple but it could very well be forest through the trees scenario. >> > > A bit further down the hierarchy: > Is everything unmuted in alsamixer? > type alsamixer -c 1 (according to your /proc/asound/cards the > 2496 is the 2nd entry, numbered 1), unmute all channels (typing 'm') > and pull up the volume faders. MIXER: You need to make sure that you have the 'envy24control' GUI mixer. This is the most effective way to control your card. It is usually installed with a package called something like 'alsa-tools-gui'. JACK: In qjackctl it set it up to use hw:1 with Duplex. Using ENVY24CONTROL: Make sure the levels are up: Go to the tab "Analog Volume" and turn everything up all the way. Make sure it's routed right: Go to the tab that says "Patch Bay/Router" and select "Digital Mix L" and "Digital Mix R" for H/W Outs 1 and 2. Turn on Outs 1 and 2 in your monitor: Go to the tab that says "Monitor PCMs" and un-click the "L/R Gang" for Out 1 and Out 2. Now, un-mute the Left for Out 1... and un-mute the Right for Out 2. Turn the volumes all the way up on Out 1 and Out 2.[1] Hope this helps: Gabriel [1] This may be a redundant step, not sure. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
