Hi Michael, |
| 17 |
Thanks for responding. |

As I stated in the original thread, long since cast the the email |
| 20 |
bone pile, the only application that seems to have a problem on this |
| 21 |
machine is xine. Aqualung (an audio file & CD player) sends audio to |
| 22 |
the Intel chip. mplayer, playing DVDs, sends audio to the Intel chip. |
| 23 |
Only xine by default is sending audio to the external USB converter. |
| 24 |
The problem in xine is not specific to DVDs. It does the same thing |
| 25 |
playing CDs. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Note that with Aqualung I can reroute audio to the external USB |
| 28 |
converter by purposely routing audio to the ':1' sound device, exactly |
| 29 |
as Alsa should perform I believe. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
As far as I can tell the machine has neither an asound.state file |
| 32 |
or any .asoundrc files: |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
dragonfly ~ # slocate .asoundrc |
| 35 |
dragonfly ~ # slocate asound.state |
| 36 |
/var/lib/alsa/asound.state |
| 37 |
dragonfly ~ # |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Also, the problem is not specific to a user. It happens in my |
| 40 |
account, my wife's account and my son's account. It seems to be a |
| 41 |
global issue. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
As background, I have a second machine with dual sound cards. It |
| 44 |
has the same generic Intel HDA audio device in it. It's second sound |
| 45 |
card is an RME HDSP9652. xine works fine on that machine. Audio goes |
| 46 |
to the Intel chip as it should. |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
I'm at a complete loss on this one. It's starting to feel as if it |
| 49 |
might be an Alsa issue and specific to USB audio. As I've gotten no |
| 50 |
response from the xine-users list and this seems to be beyond the |
| 51 |
typical Gentoo issue I suppose I might try those folks, assuming no |
| 52 |
one else here has any experiments for me to try. |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
Thanks again for your help. |
| 55 |

Cheers, |
| 57 |
