I have an Iwill DVD266-uRN with CMI8738 sound. I'm trying to record through the RCA S/PDIF Input port. My system is Linux 2.4.19 i386 SMP.
I tried both C-Media's driver and the driver from the stock 2.4.19 kernel. S/PDIF RCA Output works but S/PDIF RCA Input doesn't work for either. I also tried: http://member.nifty.ne.jp/Breeze/softwares/unix/cmictl-e.html When i turn on Monitor then my analogue speakers output static. I also tried Alsa 9.0rc1 CMIPCI driver. Playback works fine but recording looks like this: joshua@remix:~$ arecord -v -D spdif -t wav -f S16_LE -r 44100 -c 2 iectest Recording WAVE 'iectest' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo Hooks PCM Its setup is: stream : CAPTURE access : RW_INTERLEAVED format : S16_LE subformat : STD channels : 2 rate : 44100 exact rate : 44100 (44100/1) msbits : 16 buffer_size : 16384 period_size : 4096 period_time : 92879 tick_time : 10000 tstamp_mode : NONE period_step : 1 sleep_min : 0 avail_min : 4096 xfer_align : 4096 start_threshold : 1 stop_threshold : 16384 silence_threshold: 0 silence_size : 0 boundary : 1073741824 Slave: Hardware PCM card 0 'C-Media PCI CMI8738-MC6' device 2 subdevice -1 Its setup is: stream : CAPTURE access : RW_INTERLEAVED format : S16_LE subformat : STD channels : 2 rate : 44100 exact rate : 44100 (44100/1) msbits : 16 buffer_size : 16384 period_size : 4096 period_time : 92879 tick_time : 10000 tstamp_mode : NONE period_step : 1 sleep_min : 0 avail_min : 4096 xfer_align : 4096 start_threshold : 1 stop_threshold : 16384 silence_threshold: 0 silence_size : 0 boundary : 1073741824 Max peak (8192 samples): 32767 (0x7fff) #################### 100% Max peak (8192 samples): 32767 (0x7fff) #################### 100% Max peak (8192 samples): 32767 (0x7fff) #################### 100% Max peak (8192 samples): 32767 (0x7fff) #################### 100% ... When i disconnect the cable then i get an I/O error so it is *somewhat* connected. However, i can't get a normal recording. The ALSA Soundcard Matrix clearly claims that "RCA IEC958 Input" is supported with the CMI8738. Is this untrue? -- Victory to the Divine Mother!! after all, http://sahajayoga.org http://why-compete.org ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-devel
