to choose what I send through the Delta 1010<br>> card. Does that make sense?<br><br>Yes, it does. <br><br>> Here's what is happening so far: I get no sounds out of my speakers<br>> except when I go to the KDE System Settings|Multimedia and test some<br>> of the output devices. The list of devices, which I can order<br>> differently for Notifications, Music, Video, etc, shows these:<br>> <br>> PulseAudio<br>> HDA Intel (ALC883 Analog)<br>> M Audio Delta 1010LT (ICE1712 multi)<br>> HDA Intel (ALC883 Digital)<br>> Default<br>> PulseAudio Sound Server<br>> <br>> The only ones that produce any sounds when I test them are the HDA<br>> Analog device and the Delta 1010 device, but the weird thing is that<br>> output seems to be coming out of the built-in output jack (on the<br>> motherboard) in either case. <br><br>That is definitely strange. There should not be any hardware
connection<br>between the two cards. <br><br>> Does the OS route output from the Delta 1010 through the built-in card<br>> to its output jack? <br><br>No, AFAIK. <br><br>> Also, I've connected only the first two RCA analog outputs from the<br>> Delta 1010 to my desktop speaker system - should I use a different<br>> pair of outputs for testing?<br><br>It would appear you are fine. The first two output channels of the<br>1010lt are located in the breakout cable #2, I presume those are the<br>ones you used (the first two output rca connectors). <br><br>> Playing a CD directly from the CD drive works, but playing music files<br>> from Amarok does not.<br>> <br>> I'll leave it at that for now. Any suggestions for what I should do<br>> next?<br><br>I would first test jack and jack alone. For best results I would install<br>the 1.9.3 version that I just moved from the testing repository to the<br>normal one (it deals better
with pulse audio). <br><br>Then start jack. You can start it through qjackctl. Go into the Setup<br>dialog and configure the Interface to be "hw:1" in your case (second<br>card, the 1010lt). Make sure "Realtime" is checked and select the<br>sampling rate you prefer. <br><br>Close the Setup dialog and press "Start", after a bit you should see a<br>yellow "Started" message. Jack should be running at this point. Click on<br>the Messages button, you should see the jack startup messages there (and<br>hunt for errors there if things go wrong). Click on the Connect button,<br>you should see the "system" ports for input and output (those are the<br>connections in your soundcard). <br><br>Start, for example, Hydrogen. I think the first time it will autoselect<br>jack as it is already running and will autoconnect its outputs to the<br>system ports (once it is running you can check that it connected by<br>looking at the "Connect" window of qjackctl - there should
be lines from<br>Hydrogen to the system ports (first two channels). Go to the<br>Projects/Demo menu and load a demo pattern. Press the Play button. You<br>should hear the pattern playing. <br><br>No sound but it appears to be playing?<br><br>Check the mixer. I think the 1010lt is supported by the "envy24control"<br>program. Start it and check the state of the "Analog Outputs" tab, make<br>sure volume is up. Otherwise you could also use "alsamixer -c 1" to<br>point to the 1010lt. <br><br>If everything went well you should be able to use jack applications...<br><br>Let us know how it goes...<br><br>-- Fernando<br><br><br><br></div></div>
