Now as I understand it, when linux starts, <br>
<br>
1) there is a program called hald (hardware abstraction layer daemon)
that identifies the hardware attached to your computer. In the output
of aplay, each card is given an identifier... "tarjeta {0 -3}"<br>
<br>
2) other programs like pa use the info hald provides to make decisions
about how to use the hardware.<br>
<br>
In the case of tarjeta 2 - <font><font color="#000000" face="Arial"
size="2">EWX2496 using the </font></font>ice1712 driver (this same
chip is in my tarjeta), apparently pulseaudio or hald did not identify
it correctly, and when trying to connect to this tarjeta, pa realizes
this and says no.<br>
<br>
The default global pa config file (/etc/pulse/default.pa) in ubuntu has
these statements: <br>
<br>
.ifexists module-hal-detect.so<br>
load-module module-hal-detect<br>
.else<br>
load-module module-detect<br>
.endif<br>
<br>
which is a means of auto-detecting the tarjetas on your system. Let's
change this:<br>
<br>
1) make a copy of your original global config file<br>
cd /etc/pulse/<br>
sudo cp default.pa default.pa.original<br>
<br>
2) comment out the lines that deal with auto detecting the tarjetas
(the lines above)<br>
<br>
3) Add these lines in it's place: sudo [vi,gedit,...] default.pa<br>
------------<br>
# Load the devices:<br>
load-module module-alsa-sink sink_name=nvidia_out device=hw:0<br>
load-module module-alsa-source source_name=nvidia_in device=hw:0<br>
<br>
load-module module-alsa-sink sink_name=hdmi_out device=hw:1<br>
load-module module-alsa-source source_name=hdmi_in device=hw:1<br>
<br>
load-module module-alsa-sink sink_name=ewx2496_out device=hw:2
channels=10
channel_map=left,right,aux0,aux1,aux2,aux3,aux4,aux5,aux6,aux7<br>
load-module module-alsa-source source_name=ewx2496_in device=hw:2
channels=12
channel_map=left,right,aux0,aux1,aux2,aux3,aux4,aux5,aux6,aux7,aux8,aux9<br>
<br>
load-module module-alsa-sink sink_name=e192m_out device=hw:3<br>
load-module module-alsa-source source_name=e192m_in device=hw:3<br>
<br>
# Select default device<br>
set-default-sink nvidia_out <br>
set-default-source nvidia_in<br>
------------------------<br>
<br>
Note: We are telling pa to use devices identified by your system
labeled hw:{0,1,2,3}... nothing special, except for the ewx2496 that
uses the ice1712 device driver. This is the same chip my tarjeta uses,
and in that case I had to add extra information about the chip... the
part that says "channel_map=..." I'm not sure if the other tarjetas
need special mappings or instructions, but give this a try.<br>
<br>
4) Restart pa ... in ubuntu, I would try "sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio
{start,stop,...} and it would not give feedback if the server status
had changed. So I would use the pa manager (paman) to start/stop the
pa server. Frequently, I would not know if the server was still
running and would use "ps aux | grep pulse" to check status.<br>
<br>
Let's see what happens<br>
