Message from ALSA. 11.2

Hi,

Got ALSA version :

Driver version:     1.0.20
Library version:    1.0.21a
Utilities version:  1.0.21

When trying to test call on a newly-installed skype, the test fail and I got this from the skype…

ALSA lib setup.c:555:(add_elem) Cannot obtain info for CTL elem (MIXER,'IEC958 Playback Default',0,0,0): No such file or directory

aplay -L gives

    Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture)

Sound output works, mic capture produces distorted sound but that is probably for another try at finding what that problem is. At the moment, I’d be interested to know if anyone knows why this message is coming out.

Cheers
