Ferenc,

If you don't got a etc/asound.conf the setting you've get with -l -L are
set somewhere. I have a sub directory alsa in etc/ with a alsa.conf.

You know that dmix is be set in your settings to default 48000 !

Thanks,

Frans van Berckel

Check first your sound card's are supported with the ALSA Soundcard
Matrix, by choosing the manufacturer and read the card documentation for
the selected card.

Dear Sebastian,

I have two devices running so it will be on yours. I don't use alsaconf,
add it by hand to my modprobe.conf. (old kernel users got module.conf)

Are there special settings for your card documented?

First do a test to add the first one and check you get audio out, check
changes on modprobe.conf. The same for the second one, check you get
audio out. Check what drivers (and yours audio) are loaded (maybe oss)
to reduce conflicts. If not do a modprobe (driver-name) and check/add
the first one again into your modprobe.conf, if its not there.

Check with aplay -l in between the steps (its displays your devices)

Check with aplay -L you get your alsaconfig settings. Mostly these are
set with alsa.conf or local settings (~/.asound or etc/asound.conf).
Do a ls -l /dev/snd/* for example to check the r+w. There are some
topics at the base on Alsa settings.

Please inform us of your improvements

Thanks,

Frans van Berckel
