Hi Alan,
I've run into similar sound card difficulties with an older Dell Optiplex 170
on Rivendell 2, also using the onboard
sound (intel chipset based) and an old soundblaster. It stumped me for a while
until I found a solution. No telling if
you're running into the same issue, but worth a shot.
For me it got down to the sound cards not getting set for the same sample rate
as Rivendell. The sound chipsets were
defaulting to 44100 and Rivendell was set to 48000 (or it might have been the
reverse).
The answer was to add the sample rate that I wanted to use into asound.conf,
like this:
pcm.rd0 {
type hw
card 0
rate 48000
}
ctl.rd0 {
type hw
card 0
}
pcm.rd1 {
type hw
card 1
rate 48000
}
ctl.rd1 {
type hw
card 1
}
Then firing up RDAdmin --> System Settings and making sure the same sample rate
was selected. Then restarting the
rivendell daemons. Back into rdadmin --> Hosts --> Audio Resources and my 2
sound cards showed up and I could play
audio.
This is presuming you're using straight ALSA. Jack took some additional
tweaking (mainly, making sure that asound.conf
AND rivendell AND jack are all set for the same sample rate)
Hope this helps.
