Hi list,<br>
<br>
Sorry for being a little off topic, but I hope to find a solution here.<br>
<br>
After spending many many hours trying to get the sound on my new<br>
machine working I feel I'm getting close, but need a last hint. I hope<br>
one of you could help me.<br>
<br>
After installing pulseaudio and editing ~/.asoundrc over and over<br>
again sound worked properly for all applications, except for Pd (ALSA<br>
error: Broken pipe). Beside, Jack won't start. I read the recent<br>
thread about `Pd and pulseaudio' here but pulseaudio seems not to be<br>
the problem in my case.<br>
<br>
The setup:<br>
- sound card: UA25EX (set to card 0 (snd-usb-audio, index=0));<br>
- OS: Debian Squeeze 32-bit;<br>
- Alsa: Driver version: 1.0.21, Library version: 1.0.23, Utilities<br>
version: 1.0.23<br>
<br>
<br>
The sound card is compatible with alsa. It has always worked properly<br>
under Ubuntu 10.04 on my netbook, with pulseaudio installed, without<br>
~/.asoundrc or /etc/asound.conf or doing any other sound<br>
configuration.<br>
<br>
`aplay' works with pulse and with plughw:0, but not if I select <type<br>
hw> and <card 0> in ~/.asoundrc and choose the default. This seems to<br>
be a bitrate conversion problem (`available sample format S24-3LE'). I<br>
read somewhere that pulse does this conversion automatically, as well<br>
as plughw:0, but I assume that Pd doesn't work with pulseaudio.<br>
Further, I can't find a way to set this `plughw' (of which I don't<br>
know what it actually is or does) as default.<br>
<br>
Comparing to another system that does work (now Ubuntu 12.04) I<br>
figured out that /var/lib/alsa/asound.state on my Ubuntu netbook shows<br>
...<br>
<br>
state.UA25EX {<br>
control.1 {<br>
iface MIXER<br>
name 'MIDI Input Mode'<br>
value 'Light Load'<br>
comment {<br>
access 'read write'<br>
type ENUMERATED<br>
count 1<br>
item.0 'High Load'<br>
item.1 'Light Load'<br>
}<br>
}<br>
}<br>
<br>
while my Debian desktop shows ...<br>
<br>
state.UA25EX {<br>
control {<br>
}<br>
}<br>
<br>
It is true that I'm not able to set any control in for example<br>
`alsamixer' (This sound device does not have any controls) or with<br>
`amixer cset'. Editing asound.state manually does not help as it is<br>
reset when I `alsactl store'.<br>
<br>
Does anyone have a clue how I could fix this problem? I prefer not to<br>
do a new OS install, at least not Ubuntu 12.04 (Unity). That's why I<br>
moved to Debian in the first place.<br>
