Analog works fine. Any help is appreciated.
More details on the not working: the programs pause when attempting to
play
through hw:0,4
ex:
$ aplay -D hw:0,4 storage/torvalds-says-linux.wav
Playing WAVE 'storage/torvalds-says-linux.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little
Endian, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono
aplay: set_params:832: Channels count non available
Why in the world would you try to play 8000- Hz Mono? It will sound
awfull. Also it may be that your card cannot do mono. (that is what the
error message seems to say) Get a proper .wav file and test with that.
Also, the sound output from aplay -D plug:spdif is very tinny, brittle,
and
distorted sounding.
What are you trying to play?
OK i ripped a proper wav from a CD.
$ aplay -D hw:0,4 track_01.wav
Playing WAVE 'track_01.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz,
Stereo
Warning: rate is not accurate (requested = 44100Hz, got = 48000Hz)
please, try the plug plugin (-Dplug:hw:0,4)
aplay: pcm_write:1083: write error: Input/output error
$ aplay -Dplughw:0,4 track_01.wav
Playing WAVE 'track_01.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz,
Stereo
but my DAC reports that there is no signal being sent.
$ aplay -D plug:spdif track_01.wav
plays, but sounds awful... very tinny, distorted, brittle, I've tried this
DAC with my old CDP as the transport and I know the DAC can sound a hell of
a lot better than this.
$ xmms track_01.wav
Message: fmt 5, channels: 2
The player just 'hangs' in the play mode until i configure the alsa plugin
to output to hw:0,0
Also, is there a way to get the device to not upsample the spdif output to
48khz? hmmm I'm getting ahead of myself here...
cat ac97#0-0
...
SPDIF Control: Consumer PCM Category=0x2 Generation=1 Rate=48kHz
And if anyone knows of an affordable firewire, usb, or cardbus device that
can give me 44.1khz spdif output with ALSA i'll drop this thread and buy
that instead.
Thanks again for any advice! I can post my .asoundrc or my asound.state if
it would be any help.
