Hello everyone,
Jjust wondering if someone can enlighten me on an unusual debugging
experience... I use iec958 to output to some speakers that are at a
set volume, so I painstakingly created this asound.conf file to make
things work just right:
pcm.!default {
type softvol
slave {
pcm "intel8x0"
}
control {
name "PCM Volume"
card 0
}
}
pcm.intel8x0 {
type hw
card 0
}
control.intel8x0 {
type hw
card 0
}
I thought I'd never need to fiddle with this asound.conf stuff again.
Then, I upgraded to the 2.6.15 kernel (from 2.6.12). I started
getting really crackly sound with this configuration (at least with
mplayer). After much more fiddling and banging my head against the
wall (i've discovered dmix plugins, route plugins, plug plugins, ...),
I eventually discovered that the solution was to delete my asound.conf
file. Arhhrg!!
What happened here? Does my alsa device driver perhaps now default to
using a softvol-type filter on the iec958 output?
Thanks for any enlightenment that you can provide,
Kyle Cronan
