Re: [linux-audio-user] Recording from SPDIF with Audiophile

Hi, try putting this to ~/.asoundrc pcm.spdif_capture { type plug ttable.0.8 1 ttable.1.9 1 slave.pcm { type hw card 0 device 0 } } ecasound -i alsa,spdif_capture -o alsa,plughw:0 (I assume that Audiophile is card number 0) or -o test.wav, but with the former you can monitor your spdif from the analog outputs (of course you can do the same with envy24control and setting the hw outs to spdif from the patchbay/router) If you don't know ecasound yet, try: arecord -D spdif_capture -f dat > test.wav Remember to set the clock input to spdif from envy24control->Hardware settings->Master clock->S/PDIF In, otherwise you get strange results or no sound at all. I have Audiophile 2496 and have successfully recorded through spdif, also together with analog inputs, but that needs more .asoundrc magic: pcm.2496_test { type plug ttable.0.0 1 ttable.1.1 1 ttable.2.8 1 ttable.3.9 1 slave.pcm { type hw card 1 device 0 } } then: arecord -D 2496_test -c 4 -r 48000 -f S32_LE > test.wav gives you 4 channels.
