i think you need to post your ~/.asoundrc file.

AFAIK, any attempt to use an ALSA device, no matter whether its via
the OSS API, Pulse or JACK, will result in ~/.asoundrc being loaded
and used to define device names and other miscellania.

its entirely possible to refer to cards by name in ~/.asoundrc as well.


I used the exact same ~/.asoundrc as here http://delta.brainiac.com/deltasync.html.

I only have one reservation about that file. Instead of two delta-1010's, I use one delta-1010 and one delta-66. Both have the same chip and present the same number of inputs and outputs, even though only a part of them are usable on the delta-66.

cat /proc/asound/cards showed this about the m-audio cards:

0 [M1010LT        ]: ICE1712 - M Audio Delta 1010LT
                      M Audio Delta 1010LT at 0xec00, irq 19
1 [M66            ]: ICE1712 - M Audio Delta 66
                      M Audio Delta 66 at 0xe400, irq 18

I did try changing all instances of hw:0 to hw:M1010LT and all instances of hw:1 to hw:M66.

This is the file:

# .asoundrc for two Delta 1010s
#
# Create virtual devices out of multiple soundcards.
# JACK will need MMAP_COMPLEX support to use this.
# ICE1712 chip has 12 capture channels and 10 playback channels.
# No. of channels in slaves must equal 12 for capture and 10 for playback
# otherwise "invalid argument" errors result.
