Hello, and merry christmas everyone! I'm trying to use my 2 surround speakers as a simple stereo output and I get this error :
$ aplay -Drear plop.wav ALSA lib pcm.c:1969:(snd_pcm_open_conf) Invalid type for PCM rear definition (id: rear, value: cards.pcm.rear) aplay: main:544: audio open error: Invalid argument Trying with -Dplug:rear results with exactly the same error. Some information on my system : $ cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [nForce2 ]: NFORCE - NVidia nForce2 NVidia nForce2 with ALC650F at 0xdb087000, irq 11 ALSA version :1.0.10 I obtain those results without any asoundrc... As a workaround, I'm using pcm.prear { type plug slave.pcm surround51 slave.channels 6 ttable.0.2 1 ttable.1.3 1 } which works, but blocks the whole device. Should I hope for better ? If not, shoudln't the rear device do that for me already ? Thanks, Bruno ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
