I'm writing to notify of success with the db60xg -- thanks Rui, for turning me on to this great $20.00 synth!! Only remaining mystery is how to get qjackctl to open both the analog (hw:6,0) and digital (hw:6,1) parts of the Dynex dx-sc51 so I can have independent headpone monitors and SPDIF->main monitor....
Solved!!
Taking a clue from a different thread with a soundcard that costs 100x more and has 26 more channels... :-) . ( http://old.nabble.com/Is-it-possible-to-use-two-RME-cards-in-sync--to28513035.html ) I now won't need to buy another soundcard for my intended portable music computer as I can output to the "mains" over SPDIF, and monitor separately in headphones, all with a $5.00 soundcard! I'll save my money for later and get a decent quality external TOSlink->analog, which is all I'll need to drive the "mains" without fear of computer noise or ground-loops, which is IMHO the right way to get sound out of a computer driving a PA....
In qjackctl: Setup..->Settings: Interface: hw:ICE1724 ; Input: (default) ; Output:: multi"
giving ~/.jackdrc:
/usr/bin/jackd -dalsa -dhw:ICE1724 -r48000 -p128 -n2 -D -Pmulti -Xseq -zs -H -M
In Jackd, this gives me two working inputs, and four separate outputs -- a stereo analog pair that I intend to use as headphone/cue monitor, and a separate SPDIF/Toslink digital output.
The trick is the output "multi" is defined as ALSA "type multi" (see http://nielsmayer.com/npm-dynex-asoundrc.txt ) as:
pcm.analog-hw {
type hw
card 6
}
ctl.analog-hw {
type hw
card 6
}
pcm.digital-hw {
type hw
card 6
device 1
}
ctl.digital-hw {
type hw
card 6
}
pcm.multi {
type multi
slaves.a.pcm "analog-hw"
slaves.a.channels 2
slaves.b.pcm "digital-hw"
slaves.b.channels 2
bindings.0.slave a
bindings.0.channel 0
bindings.1.slave a
bindings.1.channel 1
bindings.2.slave b
bindings.2.channel 0
bindings.3.slave b
bindings.3.channel 1
}
ctl.multi {
type hw
card 6
}
