Kde 4.4.5: Use custom Alsa device in Phonon
Hi,
I'd like to ask you how to configure Phonon in Kde 4.4.5 to use custom Alsa device specified in my ~/.asoundrc. Code:
pcm.duplicate { Thanks a lot. |
Hi, which phonon backend are you using? Did you enable "show advanced devices"?
Under 4.4 I had very good experience with ALSA "hints" and the xine backend. Serafean |
My backend is xine, and I have enabled "show advanced devices".
However, I can only choose "SB Live! EMU10k1 Analog stereo" device. Could you show me your asoundrc file? Maybe I have wrong "hint" section. Thanks. |
Actually, what I do is create the device systemwide in /etc/asound.conf
Code:
pcm.dmixer{ Code:
pcm.opticaldmix{ |
Still no luck even I use hinting in PCM having "plug" type.
BTW: My original content of .asoundrc works flawlessly with mplayer and audacious. But KDE is a devil. :( What's you version of KDE, Phonon and Alsa? |

Right now, I'm using KDE-4.6, phonon 4.4.4 with the VLC backend. But up to a month ago, I was using KDE-4.4, phonon 4.4.3 with the xine backend, and it was also working. Yes, I've been there, with CLI apps getting the device correctly, and kde not. At the beginning I worked around it by making the device I wanted phonon to use the pcm.!default :)
Dumb question : you do log out an back in after every change to .asoundrc? I know that made me loose some hair. Serafean Edit : attaching my working asound.rc and my system asound.conf |
Got it. Now it works.
It was pulseaudio which suppressed my devices even no pulseaudio daemon was running. I removed whole 'pa' and now I see all SB Live HW Devices including my self defined PCMs. Thank you for your help. |
