This page seems most useful as they have the same cards as me
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1885433
And this is now my asound.conf ;=
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave {
pcm "hw:1,0" #delete the first hash for sound over analog
# pcm "hw:1,1" #delete the first hash for sound over optical
# pcm "hw:0,3" #delete the first hash for sound over hdmi
rate 48000
}
}
speaker-test
speaker-test 1.0.25
Playback device is default
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 1 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
Playback open error: -16,Device or resource busy
but thats because I'm listening to BBC Radio 4 Extra on qmmp.
I've now rebooted and still get no sound from mpd
cat /proc/asound/version
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.24.

Theres a lot of information there, I've tried to include everything that
may be useful in the hope that someone can tell me what to do, as I'm
totally at a loss!
Thank you
