Hello, I am trying to figure out what my Live 512 & alsa are capable of. I have been trying to compare what I am seeing in the system with what I have been able to find in literature and posts. I was wondering if anyone might be able to offer any clarification. First of all, I am trying to figure out what the different I/O I see are. In /etc/asound/devices I see: 4: [0- 0]: hardware dependent 8: [0- 0]: raw midi 19: [0- 3]: digital audio playback This is digital mixer output? 18: [0- 2]: digital audio playback This is Synth or FX output? 26: [0- 2]: digital audio capture FX capture? 25: [0- 1]: digital audio capture Device 1? 16: [0- 0]: digital audio playback Is this the codec playback? 24: [0- 0]: digital audio capture Is this the codec capture? 0: [0- 0]: ctl 1: : sequencer 6: [0- 2]: hardware dependent 9: [0- 1]: raw midi 10: [0- 2]: raw midi Which midi devices are which? What do the different numbers represent? subdevice: [card- device]: ? This seems a bit reasonable but kind of contradicts the output I get from aplay -l: **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: Live [SB Live [Unknown]], device 0: emu10k1 [ADC Capture/Standard PCM Playback] Subdevices: 32/32 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 ... Subdevice #31: subdevice #31 card 0: Live [SB Live [Unknown]], device 2: emu10k1 efx [Multichannel Capture/PT Playback] Subdevices: 8/8 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 ... Subdevice #7: subdevice #7 card 0: Live [SB Live [Unknown]], device 3: emu10k1 [Multichannel Playback] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 Here it would seem that device 2 does not have a subdevice 26 as suggested by my (perhaps wrong) interpretation of /proc/asound/devices Thanks. -Garett
