I can confirm I am getting the *exact* same problem now - although, I
don't know why this is only giving me 2 capture ports all of a sudden -
up until I applied the 009 patch, i was seeing 16 capture ports in
qjackctl ...
I am still unable to get more than 2 capture
channels. I've set the
"interface", "input device", & "output device" as
described by Shayne.
I also renamed my .asoundrc file to .asoundrc.bak (this will prevent it
from being used, right?). This configuration gives me 2 capture and 16
playback channels. Further, it only works if I set the number of input
channels to 0 or 2 and the number of output channels to 0 or 16.
Otherwise, I get an error: ALSA cannot set channel count to X for
capture/playback.... Now, I have also just updated qjackctl to 0.2.15
and am getting the same behavior. BTW, I am only trying to use Audio
channels, no MIDI.
Probably you have the "EFX Voices Mask"
control set to only capture two
channels, which was the previous default. With a new ALSA the hw:0,2
device captures 16 channels by default. But, if your old mixer state is
getting restored every time you install the new ALSA, then it's possible
the change would not take effect.
Try removing your asound.state (it should be in /etc or maybe somewere
under /var), then installing the new ALSA modules. Also version 008 is
not recommended because there are serious bugs.
I did this (even though my asound.state file should have had the proper
setting I think), but still no cigar ...
I'm not too worried about this at the moment (not doing any simultaneoud
recording of inputs ... yet), but just thought I'd mention as it seems a
bit strange.
