"hw:2,0" didn't let me change any settings.
"hw:N,M" requires that any requested settings be directly supported by the underlying hardware. you were apparently asking for things the h/w could not provide. "hwplug:N,M" allows the use of the software plug layer which will allow settings not directly supported by the underlying hardware. Its similar to a "plug" PCM device, except that there are a few optimizations that can be done when its known that the "slave" device is a "hw" type, rather than another "plug" type, for example. --p _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-devel
