Hi ... am using Debian Wheezy on a special purpose machine that really has nothing more than ALSA, Jack Audio, tighvnc, blackbox and formerly Skype now Linphone.
Everything was fine with Skype + Jack + ALSA UNTIL I was forced to upgrade Skype to 4.3 which doesn't support ALSA. The driver for my soundcard (Echo Audio Layla3G) is made for ALSA so I'm stuck using it. Skype was able to use Jack so I just did everything thru Jack ... easy
My problem is a terrible echo / loop when I use the digital ins/outs which are on card0:dev1 ... when Linphone uses the analog side which is the default card0:dev0 it sounds fine. ALSA has named both devices LAYLA3G so I can't declare the device by name in .linphonerc .
I modified my existing asound.conf to show;
Code:
cm.!default rate_convert
pcm.rate_convert {
type plug
slave {
pcm "hw:0,1"
rate 44100
period_size 1024
buffer_size 4096
}
}
This gets linphone to the digital as I'm forcing ALSA to make card0:dev1 the default BUT I get a terrible echo - you can tell the input is being routed to the output and vice versa - a really bad loop. (The rate is needed because I connect to my mixer via ADAT and when the rate is set in ALSA, it sets the rate in the mixer.)
I'm wondering how I can get linphone to use only the digital ins / outs without getting the echo?
***Bonus points if you can show me how to use only channel 3 + 4 out of my 8 digital channels AND mix them to mono on the input side and stereo from mono coming out.
Any help is def appreciated ... There's a lot of documentation out there but nothing that I understand well enough to solve this problem (plus making calls to myself for troubleshooting is a pain) Thanks! ~Rich
