Hi all,

I purchased a DIY external DAC that shows up in dmesg as: [64233.769968] usbcore: registered new interface driver snd-usb-audio

I can redirect my XMMS sound to it by switching the ALSA audio device to hw:1,0 (Burr-Brown Japan PCM2702: USB Audio).

But, I would still like the sound redirected to my speakers. Likewise, I do not want to have to go to each application and try to redirect to the DAC when I'm using it.

I simply want all sound to work normally with my speakers, and additionally be redirected/copied to my DAC.

I'd greatly appreciate any help!

Thanks!
George

Hi hedpe, You may find something here.

Good luck. ;-)

I do not think you want to output to SPDIF or IEC958. You should be using some plugin to split the sound to two sound cards instead of outputting to one sound card. I suggest reading the syntax for ~/.asoundrc.

FYI, all sound cards are DAC.
