Hi ListMembers, now I'm completely lost. I've read a couple of months worth list messages but I'm none the wiser.
I recently bought a Z-cyber Nightingale Pro 6 (6 Channels 5.1 PCI Sound card with Optical Kit). Z-cyber, as far as I know, is nothing more than Zoltrix' European brand. So far I've reading success stories from people managing to get this thing's IEC958 (s/pdif) to work but I didn't. (Esp. s/pdif in since I've no means for testing digital out). Analogue input and ouput work rather well. Maybe it's my rather unusal setting with two chips of the same type. distribution: SuSE 8.0 kernel: 2.4.18 alsa version 0.9.0rc5 I've got two cmedia chips of the same type. 1.) The one on the motherboard (ASUS A7V333) 2.) The above mention Nightingale (see below for details) I connected a SAT-Receiver providing a 48kHz stream via s/pdif on both optical and coaxial output. The optical connection however I can't test properly untill I've got a proper toslink cable. Using the coaxial connection I neither can activate the monitor nor can I record anything using arecord. (pcm_read:1080: read error: Input/output error see link below) I've put all information I've got on http://home.arcor.de/mritscher/alsa/asound.txt to avoid cluttering the mailing list. A few more remarks: alsaconf just regocnizes the first C-Media chip. @Jaroslav: Running alsaconfig messes up the modules.conf again. A cleaned up version (using module-options) will have the snd_ prefix in it after running alsaconfig (version 0.9.0) Setting name 'IEC958 5V' value true to false and issuing an alsctl restore; alsactl store; cat /etc/asound.state will reveal that this setting this value didn't work. It *seems* to work using cmictl. (see link above) There is no jumper for switching between the two IEC958 connections on the board itself. Is there anyone who could give me some hints, please? What I haven't tried yet. 1.)Disabling the onboard chip 2.)optical connection 3.)Testing with the provided drivers. Since I'd like to stick with Alsa and this one's seem to be kernel driver, I'd rather not going too. Any help/pointers very much appreciated!
