I don't understand the question here snip I think he meant that spammers could pick up the email address from the list. I haven't noticed any impact so I don't think that is a concern. Yes, that is what I meant. I fully appreciate your help and the others on the list. My useful comment was intended to draw some attention to the fact that at this time and culture in the net, publishing, even poorly disguised email addresses is a bad idea. I did remove 3-stack from modprobe.conf as per Tobin's instructions but this didn't change the device-busy condition. I think that the main question is why I can't hear the ext Line-in signal if I don't write the command-line arecord -D hw:1,0,0 -f S16_LE -c2 -r48000 | aplay -D hw:1 I shouldn't need to use this line. The mixer shuld be able to mix-in the Line-in without further ado. What is the magic to educate the mixer to do that? Must be a mixer configuration that I am missing. Indeed, there are 2 rows of sockets, 3 sockets on each row on this motherboard. I gather that the D955XBK motherboard I have and the D975XBX that Tobin mentions have the same sound chip. Tobin, thank you for your offer to send (if you remember) a configuration that works. I will certainly appreciate that. Any other ideas/suggestions. Again, thanks in advance. -Polo - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

An old version ALSA is not the issue. It seems clear that my minimalistic configuration is insufficient, and that ALSA, properly configured, fully supports this chip. It does. You have your modprobe configuration line set wrong (probably an old Fedora thing). According to your alsa-info output, you have your system set as a 3-stack board, whereas the driver table (which I wrote for your motherboard - which is actually a D975XBX) is designated as a 6-stack. The difference is the number of vertical rows of sound plugs on the back of your system. 1 row = 3-stack, 2 rows = 6-stack. The best option is to remove the model= line from your modprobe configuration file. I would like to see/copy a working configuration for this chip. I didn't find one after googling for some time.

[Alsa-user] ALSA + SigmaTel STAC92xx sound chip - Device busy
I have a SigmaTel STAC9221D A2 chip embedded in my Intel motherboard The full ALSA info is uploaded to http://pastebin.ca/1024025 I am running Fedora Core 5 (Bordeaux) with kernel 2.6.18-1.2257_FC5smp on an Intel mobo D955XBK with a Pentium D 940 (dual core processor) @ 3.2GHz and 4GB of RAM.

I can also play what comes in through the Line-In, using the following command line: arecord -D hw:1,0,0 -f S16_LE -c2 -r48000 | aplay -D hw:1 Question 0: why should I need to use that command line?!

I seem to have a configuration problem right here. Anyways, these facts show that the driver works, that the connections are ok and that the volumes are set correctly, nothing muted, etc. Now if I play something with XMMS, then I want to mix-in the input from the Line-In, the command line above gives me this error: aplay: main:564: audio open error: Device or resource busy If I issue the command line first, and then try to play something with XMMS I get a popup telling me about the same: sound device busy. Now, I know that the card can do the mix, because the experiment works just fine in Windows on the same machine. Is there some writeup about how to config ALSA or the mixer or the whatever, so that I can get both inputs (PCM and Line-In) to play/record simultaneously, i.e. get the mixer to mix?. I couldn't find one. Reading this article: http://people.atrpms.net/~pcavalcanti/alsa-1.0.15rc2_snd-hda-intel.html about a few setups helped greatly to get me as far as I got. The article mentions two (2) ADCs on this card/chip. However, even the (working) Windows setup doesn't let me check 2 inputs in the Recording Control panel at the same time, i.e. Microphone and Line-In. Is this a bug in the Windows panel, can ALSA do better, or the info in that page is plain wrong and this chip can't have 2 inputs active at the same time (i.e. it has only one ADC). I can't understand the block diagram in the datasheet (which can be viewed/downloaded at http://www.idt.com/products/getDoc.cfm?docID=10267384). The diagram appears to show 2 ADCs, but one is painted yellow while the other is not, and the connections are unclear (to me). Thanks for any pointers or comments.
