Is this card worht getting used? I mean one can get it for about $50
buck on ebay. How much of this sound system is supported? Is the
breakout box supported? Does AC3 passthrough work? Does SPDIFF work?
There may be a lot better card's out there. Let's say the Game Theater
XP is good
for it
mplayer complains about:
"alsa-init: unable to set periodsize: Invalid argument."
It may happen that some applications want to set a periodsize that is not
supported by the HW.
Try start something that is known to work like aplay:
$ aplay .wav
The alsaplay should also work, but you must speci

ALSA ../../alsa-kernel/pci/cs46xx/cs46xx_lib.c:167:

...and when I try to stop and start Alsa manually I
get the following:
ALSA ../..
I'd like to be able to use the surround40 with my cs46xx card. Where can
I get the latest Alsa libs?
If you want to live at the bleeding edge then checkout latest ALSA CVS
sources, read instructions at http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=27464
Maybe just copying the CS46xx.conf file to /usr
Benny, is any reason why 'surround40' device doesn't work with the CS46xx
driver? The configuration is in alsa-lib/src/conf/CS46xx.conf .
That looks good to me. Doing some quick tests with xine surround40 seems
to work
just fine.
Johan: sure that you are using the newest and greatest alsa-
Hi everybody,
I have a great deal of problems to get 5.1 sound to work when I play
DVD:s. I use alsa 0.9.0rc6 and mplayer 0.90pre9 as my DVD player. If I
try "mplayer -channels 6 -dvd 1" the only thing I get is the front
speakers and nothing else, no center, no LFE. I also tried "mplayer
-chann
same problem for me and my DMX XFire 1024 :-(.
I think the distortion sounds like a DC offset introduced by the PCM
channel. Do you also get popping noise when changing the PCM volume? It
just sounds like changing the supply voltage of a running amplifier for
me. Perhaps I can measure the DC level
Benny, thanks a lot for your new DSP code. Hardware mixing works great!
I didn't test variable period sizes up to now because I'm using Mandrake
RPMs at the moment. So, patching isn't possible right now, but I'll
change back to tarballs or cvs soon :-). Btw, do you have any idea how
to get 4 indep

Yes, ... supported by the DSP but not implemented in the current ALSA
driver,

The SPDIF input is still very experimental and buggy, the SPDIF output
should work fine, the only thing you
need to do is to tu
