Looks like here it works

Code:

root@moon45:~# aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], device 0: VT1708S Analog [VT1708S Analog]
  Subdevices: 2/2
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
  Subdevice #1: subdevice #1
card 2: Device [USB PnP Sound Device], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

Ok got it.

This is all probably just academic for me but maybe will help. It has helped me understand alsa a bit more.

I have now

I always had a problem getting the native sound working. So I built my own alsa driver but I was building it wrong.
Now had built it with

Code:

sudo ./configure --with-cards=hda-intel --with-kernel=/usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)

I was being just a little too specific. Now I did

Code:

sudo ./configure --with-cards=all --with-kernel=/usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)

Like I said may be meaningless. I know L3mc is working on sound.

I'm still doing this on 26373. I may keep messing around to set up static audio device aliases.
If at any time I can be of more useful let me know.

For the device itself I have not tested any sound output but will soon. I have it in a powered hub as that is what I would want in the end near my amplifier.

[l3mce]

I did a lot of work to audio. I would expect that if you loaded a new snap, you would have better luck with all that.

[SBCC]

I will try that now. Thanks again!

Ok, I upgraded yesterday. I'm not sure of the snap number. This is an upgrade from 26373. The 26373 snapshot I can get working by updating the Alsa driver to 1.0.25. I did see some different results but still does not function.

Here are some outputs

Can we include and update of Alsa when needed or will backporting work?

Let me know if I can help more.

One question - if I move forward with my duct taped 26373 in the meantime will setting up udev to manage the usb sound devices become a problem in the future?

Thanks always!

Can you please drop into IRC?

Ok

Ok I'm going to fork the above problems off because there is a separate issue there.

See here for that;
http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php/topic,12971.0.html

The device Startech ICUSBAUDIOB is plug and play as of LMCE-1004-20121105125126640.
I am working on seeing how it works and getting it into lmce and squeezeslave.
Will post progress.

I followed the wiki closely and have no sound output. The wiki is kind of vague so this is what I did -

Select Device->A/V Equipment
Selected Add Device
Selected SqueezeBox Player template
Selected "Mechanical Room" as room #This is a room with no MD in it
Entered 00:00:00:00:00:01 as mac address

I believe all the software needed was installed at this point but I'm not sure.

Any thoughts where to go?

Thanks

[SBCC]

Ok I got it fixed.

One problem was that wav file sample. It is not compatible with squeezeslave.

There is an error in the LaunchSqueezeslave.sh script.

I followed this thread
http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?97014-Help!-How-do-I-install-SqueezeSlave-on-Ubuntu-Server-12-10-64bit
and got it working.

This setup needs some work. I think some changes to the launch script could make install a bit easier.
I'm going to poke around there and work on a PNP script for the device.
Will be learning bash as I go.

[l3mce]

Anyhing I can help, ask. Esp. w/bash

Help as much as I can.

[SBCC]

Thank you. I will take you up on that.
The whole squeezeslave setup is flawed as it can change on reboot. This can be made better.
I need to better understand how lmce handles new devices first to decide what direction it should go. It should be easily adaptable versus just a udev rule for me.

Thanks for the offer!
