[LAU] [darkice] (SOLVED) Re: Cant Get Creative E-MU USB audio interface to work

[Paul Davis]

I would state with almost absolute certainty that your .asoundrc file has
no part to play here. The thing that made it work is telling darkice to use
plughw:.... rather than hw:... which allows ALSA to fake the hardware setup
that darkice says it wants. When you use hw:... you can only use hardware
parameters that are directly supported by the hardware itself, which
sometimes are not the ones you want/need to use.
