I tried the following under Gnome: > The parameters to "hw:x,y" are X = Card number and Y = Device on that card. I think I misread your output of aplay -l earlier. Looking at the one at the end of this email, I see you actually have "hw:0,0" (the ALC887-VD Analog), "hw:0,1" (the ALC887-VD Digital) and "hw:1,3" (the HDMI 0). Hopefully you can see how I've worked out those device names from the output? As for the number to "-c", I chose 2 because almost all devices support stereo.

So no success. OK, but as far as ALSA's concerned, it's not playing out of your digital device. If you have an optical cable, it'll be using that. If you're wanting to use the analog output (i.e. normal, metal cables), then we still have an issue. I notice that pulseaudio gave a warning when you tried to stop it; "pulseaudio -k" should kill any user-initiated daemons. To be sure, try running "sudo lsof|egrep 'snd|dsp|NAME'" to see if anything else is using your sound device. > > # aplay -l > **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** > card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC887-VD Analog [ALC887-VD Analog] > Subdevices: 0/1 > Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 > card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 1: ALC887-VD Digital [ALC887-VD Digital] > Subdevices: 1/1 > Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 > card 1: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] > Subdevices: 1/1 > Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 > > I think this means that alsa detect my audio device. > > Bye, > a > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST@lists.debian.org > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
