I've been using alsa for a while with my Turtle Beach Santa Cruz card (using the cs46xx driver). Until upgrading to kernel 2.6.x, multichannel playing worked beautifully - I could just play whatever sounds I wanted, and they'd be mixed together automatically. I never had to do any .asoundrc editing, or mess with dmix plugins or any of that. I assume that it was using the hardware mixer on the card itself...
Now that I'm using 2.6 though, none of that works. If I try to play a sound while another program is playing something, it just sits there until the first program is done, then plays it afterwards. Also, I've noticed that aplay -l no longer lists nearly as many devices - it used to list about 30 (presumably for for each potential multiplexed sound), but now only lists one output! **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: CS46xx [Sound Fusion CS46xx], device 0: CS46xx [CS46xx] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 This has the extra problem that I can't use the rear output at all (which I gather would normally be accessed with hw:0,1 or something similar) The only other change I see is that many of the mixer channels have vanished - I don't know if that's related, but I imagine so. Anyone have any idea what could have happened? Will I just have to use the dmix plugin and give up hope on getting the rear channel working? I sure hope not...
