Two sound cards

English Hardware

Hola! Again…

Two sound card; one internal and one is usb. I have the internal one working. But, it’s not “configured” in Yast; I have to use /usr/sbin/alsaconf to get it to run. If I do anything in yast it stops working. I don’t even see the second card in yast. And I kind of need both to work.

Configure audio via YAST - Picasa Web Albums - Psyber Netik - Primary Sound…

Did I also mention the fun part about needing both to work?

Do you have to do this everytime you reboot?

If so, what happens if instead you type: su -c 'rcalsasound restart’enter root password when prompted, and then test your sound ?

Reference using two sound cards to the full extent, I can’t help here at all. I have only one sound device, and no experience using two cards.

Nope. I only have to do it once. Unless I screw with it in someway; i.e. yast. You still want the output of the command?

5

No. … only if you had to go to yast each time you booted (to get sound)

6

No… it works. Any “theories”?

7

If it works now, without having to do anything extra, then perhaps all that was needed before was to configure it. It does work now, right?

I don’t know… It could be the magic pixies that live in the computers… It didn’t work… then a few days later it did…

The program I’m using is called mixxx. And it allows you to use two different Sound cards…

Another reason why linux rocks my socks off… :wink:
