That's just sorta religious - I (as most Gentoo users) roll my own kernel and try to optimize it so all stuff I don't need is left out and everything I know that I need all the time (like soundcard drivers) I compile directly into the kernel. Only stuff like floppy support that I hardly ever use I might compile in as modules. I don't see the idea of making alsa-stuff into modules when I want alsa support on every single bootup :) > > I can't seem to change anything with amixer, but alsamixer works.

Did you try "aplay -D spdif some.wav" or similar? I have tried just completely normal "aplay /usr/kde/3.2/share/sounds/pop.wav" which gives me sound through the normal analog out, but no sound through optical. I just now tried it with -D spdif and it does this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] drzero $ aplay -D spdif /usr/kde/3.2/share/sounds/pop.wav Playing WAVE '/usr/kde/3.2/share/sounds/pop.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Mono aplay: set_params:827: Sample format non available Also I have tried through arts (which has been setup to use alsa) and it works through analog, but not optical. I don't know all that much about alsa/soundcards, so I don't really know what else to do now. -- Anders -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GCS/O d--@ s:+ a-- C++ UL+++$ P++ L+++ E- W+ N(+) o K? w O-- M- V PS+ PE@ Y+ PGP+ t 5 X R+ tv+ b++ DI+++ D+ G e- h !r y? ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------ PGPKey: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x8BFECB41 ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
