Daniel, I was reading your comments - and I agree that asoundconf is much harder to maintain. Even after all these years of using computers, I'm still a little new to programming. But I have absolutely no problem with linux scripts. My gripe is this: some sound cards don't accept Pulseaudio out-of-the-box, whereas ALSA does, but doesn't always interpret right. I have used the Emu10k1 and Emu20k1 (Sound Blaster Live! and Audigy) as well as the ice1724 (VIA chipset) I have now.
Support for the higher-end cards capable of Dolby Digital and DTS, as well as hybrid analog AND digital output, need to somehow be accounted for and I don't know how to do that. I'm about to downgrade to my CMI8738 because it just worked. However, I'm going to miss my Dolby Digital (i.e. for MythTV playback). The card has a built-in encoder, no software encoding necessary. If there's anything I can do, let me know. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/376024 Title: alsa-utils missing asoundconf To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-utils/+bug/376024/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
