Hi Carl,
this does not seem to be hardware or configuration problem.
Hi Jürgen I think you may be right. Of course, it's nice to know what hardware we're discussing and which modules are being loaded.
Both sound cards get configurued by YaST and in kmix I can even select the card for which I can modify settings (volume etc.). But this seems to be the only program where I can select which card to use.
Can you clarify this behavior? Are you able to independently adjust volumes of the cards? IOW, if card 0 is driving "front" speakers and card 1 is driving "rear" speakers, can you adjust front volume, switch card 'focus' in kmix then set rear volume? Is each adjustment independent of the other and do they "stick" as you switch 'focus' between cards?
Each other program just outputs its sound on the card which is configured as snd0 by YaST.
One idea: Instead of kmix, try alsamixer. If you invoke it from a shell ("alsamixergui") it'd be interesting to see what messages it spits out. It might also allow independent & simultaneous control of the cards. regards, Carl
