Hello all!
I'm trying to set up an Alesis iO|2 USB interface, but
I've ran into a few problems. I think they may just be
configuration issues.
Firstly, playback of stereo files through XMMS works,
but playing a mono file puts white noise through the
right hand output.
Also, I seem to loose source mixing with this card
(only one app can use it at a time) whereas it worked
fine with my old PCI card (snd-emu10k1) which is still
fitted.
I understand that the iO|2 only supports 24bit and all
non-24bit audio needs to be converted before being
sent to the card (could this cause the static with
mono playback?). This leads me to another question,
can I configure ALSA to do this automatically for all
programs so that games and the like work with it?
Finally, I get weirdness when I unplug or re-plug the
iO|2 - XMMS won't play any more (I get the error box
telling me about misconfigured soundcards) and
restarting ALSA doesn't help. Other programs continue
to use the PCI card.
I'm using Mandriva 2006, the shipped kernel comes with
alsa 1.0.9b, I also have 2.6.16.16 with alsa 1.0.11
I'm rather new to ALSA configuration so any help would
be much appriciated!
Cheers!
