Installation issues / Re: ASUS A8N-E on board audio. No audio output on AV wizard
« on: November 03, 2007, 11:10:53 pm »
I have AC3 Pass Through working with this chipset right now (Aeon Flux in background)
Check http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Sound_Cards for additional information. I need somebody to check my information and methods to verify that this is the best way to accomplish this.
Make sure that you have made the changes requested on the wiki page before proceeding with these instructions as the configuration file MAY be overwritten by pluto scripts if Manual is not specified.
Backup the original file and save the following to /etc/asound.state:
Backup the original file and save the following to /etc/asound.conf
Make changes to /etc/pluto/xine.conf that are mentioned on the link above.
sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart
Then reload the router.
Not sure if these are still necessary as I already did them so it didn't get checked again:
Please somebody verify these as I'd like to get this finalized on the wiki as well. Any input on the proper formatting on the wiki page would also be appreciated.

Backup the original file and save the following to /etc/asound.conf
Code: [Select]
# ~/.asoundrc or /etc/asound.conf
# ALSA configuration file
##### USAGE #####
# Save this file as "~/.asoundrc" (for user-specific sound configuration) or
# "/etc/asound.conf" (for system-wide sound configuration) and specify ALSA
# device names ad described in the next section.
##### DEVICE NAMES #####
# This configuration file defines four devices for use by the user. Those
# devices are "analog", "mixed-analog", "digital", and "mixed-digital". The
# user may also re-define "default" to be identical to one of the above-named
# devices (i.e. to send all sound output to the digital output unless otherwise
# specified). Use the device names as described below:
# - "analog" outputs to the analog output directly and (at least on software
# sound cards) blocks other audio output. After playback completes, "queued"
# sounds are output in sequence.
# - "mixed-analog" mixes audio output from multiple programs into the analog
# output (so you can hear beeps, alerts, and other noises while playing back
# an audio stream).
# - "digital" outputs to the digital output directly. Since most (all?)
# digital outputs expect 48kHz PCM audio, this may not work for some playback
# (i.e. CD's--which are 44.1kHz PCM audio--or 32kHz audio streams from TV
# recordings, etc.).
# - "mixed-digital"
# All other devices created within this file are used only by the configuration
# file itself and should /not/ be used directly. In other words, do not use
# the devices "analog-hw", "dmix-analog", "digital-hw", or "dmix-digital".
##### IMPORTANT #####
# To make this ALSA configuration file work with your sound card, you will need
# to define the appropriate card and device information for the "analog-hw" and
# "digital-hw" devices below. You can find the card and device information
# using "aplay -l".
##### Configuration File #####
# Override the default output used by ALSA. If you do not override the
# default, your default device is identical to the (unmixed) "analog" device
# shown below. If you prefer mixed and/or digital output, uncomment the
# appropriate four lines below (only one slave.pcm line).
#
# Note, also, that as of ALSA 1.0.9, "software" sound cards have been modified
# such that their default "default" device is identical to the "mixed-analog"
# device. Whether using an ALSA version before or after 1.0.9, it does no harm
# and has no affect on performance to redefine the device (even if the
# redefinition does not change anything). Also, by using this ALSA
# configuration file, you once again have access to unmixed analog output using
# the "analog" device.

# output on the card

# "default" to do mixing, meaning this device is different from "default" and
# allows playback while blocking other sound sources (until playback
