Thanks for the advice! This gets me a little further - aplay tells me "Playing sound.wav - Signed 16 bit Little Endian, 44.1KHz, Mono." Then it informs me "xrun - at least 0.074 ms long!" and then I get an error message :
Alsa lib pcm_hw.c:494:(snd_pcm_hw_start) - SNDDRV_PCM_IOCTL_START failed : Broken pipe. And of course I get no sound. Perhaps something wrong with my alsa lib? Or am I missing something here? thanks for any help! best, Nick > np wrote: > > when i try to play anything through it (using aplay, pd, or xmms), i get an > > error about 'invalid sample format.' taking a look at > > /proc/asound/card1/stream0 i see that the card sample formats are S16_LE and > > S24_LE with sample rates 44100, 48000, and 96000. i'm guessing i need some > > way to convert from an acceptable sample format into one of these formats -- > > could someone enlighten me as to how to do that? > > Use device name "plughw:1" instead of "hw:1": > > aplay -D plughw:1 something.wav > > > i tried using jackd but it spits out an error about unacceptable > > sample formats too.. > > jackd should accept S16_LE, but maybe this isn't available with the > default sample rate of 48000. > > > HTH > Clemens > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek > Welcome to geek heaven. > http://thinkgeek.com/sf > _______________________________________________ > Alsa-user mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user > ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
