Ok, you convinced me. So I am trying pulseaudio again. Before installing pulseaudio, I was able to see digital as well as analog outputs for each of my 2 sound cards, now in kmix, I see only one output device for each sound card, and it's described as "analog". And interestingly enough, it seems to be sending out the same signal to both analog and digital outputs of the computer, which is nice, but what if I want to choose the analog for some outputs and the digital for others? I have not been able to figure out how to choose those as separate output channels.
$ lspci | grep audio 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller 05:09.0 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies Inc. ICE1712 [Envy24] PCI Multi-Channel I/O Controller (rev 02) The built-in intel card actually has 2 digital outputs, one via HDMI and the other via an optical cable, as well as 5 different analog outputs (for the 5 channels of surround sound). How do I get all of my sound devices to be visible again in pulseaudio? --alan On Mon, Mar 5, 2012 at 5:29 AM, Nick Leverton <[email protected]> wrote: > On Mon, Feb 27, 2012 at 07:18:48PM +0000, Sune Vuorela wrote: >> Then I started playing my sound files, and opened kmix.
