A while ago I had a couple of problems with my soundcard (Terratec Aureon Space 7.1). The digital out was not functioning due to a small bug in the source code. After this was reported it was immediately fixed and I was able to play sounds with aplay. Since the latest Slackware came out I started to reinstall everything and I also downloaded the latest alsa version. After this I followed the instructions on the website for this particular card (add some lines to the modules.conf and add a .asoundrc).
Unfortunately I am unable to get any sound from xmms and kde. And also when I use aplay with a wave file that worked before it now stays in a loop and doesn't play anything else then the first few tones (over and over again). When I try to play the file in Windows I also hear the first few tones (sounds like it's not part of the original sound so it might be an error in the wave file) but other than that it plays just fine. I have also tried a few default Windows sounds. They play fine except for the ending. Every wave file I play has some weird noise at the end, like it is interpreting metadata as sound or something like that.
As for xmms and kde...If I try to use xmms to play a sound and press play then nothing happens. It just sits there at 00:00:00 and the counter is not increasing. When I press play again then xmms hangs and all I can do is kill it. The same happens when I try to change the default settings and change it to Alsa instead of "OSS Driver (libOSS.so). I have tried every setting I can think of and nothing seems to make any sound (except for aplay). A sound player for kde tries to make a sound and the counter starts running but nothing comes out. So I think that kde is trying to push the output through the analog output instead of the digital one. And that would explain why the mixer volume starts at 0 since it's the default for Alsa (although I don't have to increase the volume for the digital output; that one starts unmuted).
Can anyone help me with trying to get some sound out of my card through the digital out? I use XMMS a lot and also kde so these two are the most important apps for me.
Thanks,
Dennis
