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?
Yes, I can idependently set volumes for both cards and the values 'survive' a reboot of the system.
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.
It does. If I call alsamixer without parameters it allows to change parameters of sound card 0. If I call it with '-c 1' I can change the parameters of the other card. Meanwhile I succeeded in telling xmms to use the second card. This works when using the 'alsa' output driver and setting the output device to /dev/dsp1. xine does not work with this setting. I could not find any place where to change arts' output device setting. Somehow most programs seem to support only one (the standard) output device for audio. A program like 'tail -f /dev/dsp >/dev/dsp1' would be nice to have - but I don't think there is any such thing - sigh.
