 |
|
Hello,
I hope to have put this topic in the proper section, if not please move it as appropriate.
I have the sound on my system working properly. What I have are
| Code: | > cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [DX ]: AV200 - Xonar DX
Asus Virtuoso 100 at 0xd000, irq 16
1 [PCH ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH
HDA Intel PCH at 0xfe720000 irq 42
2 [Generic ]: HDA-Intel - HD-Audio Generic
HD-Audio Generic at 0xfe640000 irq 43
|
Upon rebooting the system the card numbers are assigned at random and the suggested modifications (gentoo-alsa-wiki) in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf such as
| Code: | options snd cards_limit=3
options snd slots=,snd_hda_intel
|
didn't work on my system to set order in this assignment. I had to always manually change the card number in ~/.asoundrc for the sound to output through the DX card.
The solution that worked for me was to change the content of ~/.asoundrc from
| Code: | pcm.!default {
type hw
card 0
device 0
}
|
to
| Code: |
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm {
@func getenv
vars [ ALSAPCM ]
default "hw:DX"
}
}
|
Now the problem is that whenever I plug a usb stick in the computer, if amarok is playing it stops outputting any sound; meanwhile it continues to run. It is similar to having assigned the wrong card number in the pcm.!default ... Card numbers remain assigned as they were before plugging the usb device. The only way to get output sound is to unplug the usb device and *restart* amarok.
With all this network of udev and rules I am at a loss. Any help in straightening this situation is much appreciated.
Thank you. |

| Ok, I think it is an Amarok issue, as it doesn't happen when I use Clementine to playback music. I should have been more thorough with the investigation before posting. My apologies. Can a moderator move this topic to the Multimedia section? |
