amixer does not show any level controls either.
To my knowledge you can not. Probably there's a command line option in
hdspmixer for that, since you

An SPDIF input _always_ derives its clock from its signal.
Besides, the clock for the actual DAC has to be a multiple of the bit
clock anyway, so there must be a PLL to derive the DAC's clock from the

Yan,
While I am not an expert, I do have a little experience with one USB
sound device (SB).
First, asoundconf does not support USB devices.
Second, the USB devices are assigned their ID in the order they are

first of all, I'd like to thank you all so much for the prompt

In fact, unfortunately cdparanoia is not (or perhaps no

Over the course of ripping 735 CDs now to my harddrive with cdparanoia, I

I'm wondering what the official way is to determine and set sample rate

Realtek ALC883.
According to Realtek documentation the chip supports various sample rates:
Hi all,
I have an Asus A7T laptop which had a problem. Asus switched my
motherboard to correct it but now i have no sound.
I searched on the web and understood that the codec should be known by
kernel in order to have sound.
Here is some output :
$lspci -v
