[Alsa-user] HDA Intel - Conexant CX20549 problem

2007-04-09 Thread S Boucher
Got a new laptop (HP dv6245) which has the above mentionned sound chip. I can play audio fine. I cannot get SPDIF to work. Capture from either built-in mic, or ext mic is horribly noisy. I also can't get jack to switch the audio to 44.1k. I suspect driver problems, since my M-Audio Transit (us

But will this still allow ALSA to revert to the laptop speakers when the card is not plugged in? And will it work when the index of the card changes, seemingly arbitrarily? I attempted to define a slave PCM as follows, but with no success: -- pcm.usbtest { type dmix ipc_key 192837

[Alsa-user] 5.1 capable USB (or Firewire) soundcards?

2007-04-09 Thread Oliver Lupton
Can anyone recommend a USB (or Firewire) soundcard which is definitely capable of 5.1 surround output? After a lot of fiddling trying to make my onboard chip output 5.1 (hda-intel, AD1986A chip on Asus A8N-VM CSM motherboard) I'm finally thinking of giving up on that and using an external card.
