 |
|
I have the Asus Xonar DX sound card installed. Alsa supports it with snd-virtuoso. I went ahead and compiled that into the kernel with CONFIG_SND_VIRTUOSO=y.
cat /proc/asound/cards

But when I try to run aplay -D plughw:2,0 (or plughw:2,1) I get no sound. I don't get any errors either though, just the usual
| Code: | | Playing WAVE '09-bottle-rocket.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo |
until I hit ^C
If I plug the cord into the onboard jack instead and run it on plughw:0,0 or plughw:0,1, it plays loud and clear.
This is true for 2-channel analog as well as S/PDIF. Both work through the onboard sound; neither with the Xonar DX.
The most distressing thing to me is the total lack of error messages. I have no idea at all how to move forward, which is why I'm here.
Are there any logs anywhere that aplay might write errors to? Or really do you have any suggestions at all about how to move forward?
Thanks!
Matt
Update: I recompiled the kernel with CONFID_SND_VIRTUOSO and CONFIG_SND_OXYGEN_LIB as modules (all set to m instead of y), and now it works no problem. Thanks for reading!

| I use a Xonar card. Never had any problems with it. Question: You did plugin the extra Molex power cable required for the Xonar card? |
