Linux Alsa question
 

Hi,

I have 2 USB headsets connected to my pc and i see both of them when i do ,i tested to see if both are working or not by running a for both the cards.

What id like to do is,when i speak from the microphone on the first headset,id like the audio output to come from the secondary headset.Is it possible ? Do i need to create some sort of ALSA loop-back device for this ?

Thanks

You may want to take a look at Jack.

Sorry about the vague response, I misread your original post and don't see an option to delete mine.

I dont think Jack would work in this case,would it ?

I doubt it, as I said, I misread your original post and could not delete my response...

arecord [options] | aplay [options] ?

@business.kid - I think i can give aplay/arecord a try. I am just curious what are the other options that i might have to do this ?

alsa installs aplay and arecord man pages.

I would start with

arecord -D <card> -r <rate> | aplay -D<card> -r <rate>

default settings are mono 8000hz sampling, which is poor.

I haven't given that a try yet,but i found this works as well since both the headsets are on the same host

This works well,but with a slight delay.
