Greetings, I'm trying to get ac3 passthrough working on my media pc. However when i try and open /dev/snd/pcmC0D3p i receive a no such device error. I noticed a few not really resolved answers in the archives so i figured I'd post again. The devices exist in /dev/snd and /proc/asound/dev and playback and recording function correctly now (even sound via the optical connection to the receiver). I've read through all the online help i could find and am still stumped =/
It looks like it's comming from the -ENODEV return in emufx.c, but i don't know enough about alsa internals to figure it out yet. setup is an sb audigy, connecting via the external optical connector to a denon dolby/dts/* receiver. As part of trying to figure this out, i used mplayer with the oss api isntead of alsa9, (mplayer -aid 128 -ao oss:iec958:AES0=0x87 -ac hwac3 -fs -dvd 1) this produces an incredibly LOUD clicking/screaching noise from the receiver. root # cat /dev/snd/pcmC0D3p cat: /dev/snd/pcmC0D3p: No such device boobtoob root # ac3dec -C Using PCM device 'iec958:AES0=0x2,AES1=0x82,AES2=0x0,AES3=0x2' ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:866:(snd_pcm_hw_open) open /dev/snd/pcmC0D3p failed: No such device snd_pcm_open: No such device Output open failed It certainly seems like something should be on minor 19.. root# more /proc/asound/devices 0: [0- 0]: ctl 4: [0- 0]: hardware dependent 9: [0- 1]: raw midi 8: [0- 0]: raw midi 19: [0- 3]: digital audio playback 26: [0- 2]: digital audio capture 25: [0- 1]: digital audio capture 16: [0- 0]: digital audio playback 24: [0- 0]: digital audio capture 33: : timer modprobe stuff: options snd cards_limit=1 options snd-card-0 extin=0x3fff extout=0x1fff options snd-emu10k1 extin=0x3fff extout=0x1fff any help would be appreciated, thanks, -pee ------------------------------------------------------- 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
