FYI: Last week we did an experiment and fused two USB cards on the ALSA level. After loading the module-alsa-sink with the given multi-device the card showed up in the output configuration dialog of PaXoverRack with all of its channels.

Tfive,
You have no idea how happy that makes me. I did receive a PM from RAndyB who gave me some assistance but I've been too busy with house repairs to do anything about it (replacing weatherboards that were put up badly and incorrectly is an 'interesting' and perplexing exercise). Would you be so kind as to post the code and I will adapt to my situation, hopefully with some luck and success? I am trying to install Logitech Media Server on my FreeNAS and if that works, I will use a RaPi as a Squeezelite client with PaXover Rack installed on it as well. One less big box, less energy used, more WAF, and centralised control. ![]()

Well, everything has already been posted here. As far as I remember you have the ALSA side of things setup and the multi-device is working, right?

For anyone reading this thread and wondering:
Here is the thread that I started when exploring ALSA to replace MiniDSP: asoundrc and ladspa There is now enough information on the web to get started, as Tromperie has shown in his original post. It's difficult to work through the ALSA documentation: even the syntax of asoundrc file seems inconsistent, which adds to the frustration. As I have said before; great software, shame about the user manual. Tromperie: It's the equivalent of Britain's January with you, if I calculate correctly? Just checked the weather in Melbourne - looks ideal for the outside work, unlike January here. Andy PS after a decade or so, I realised that the User Manual was the starting point for software projects. Actual people with cheque books focusses the mind in that direction.

That's why besides linking two soundcards at the ALSA layer (did it way back when with two M-Audio Delta 1010s in our home studio to have 16 tracks) I have never tinkered with .asoundrc and ALSA before. It's like using assembler compared to python if that makes sense, ALSA is completely at the hardware level.
Tromperie has to do it though as he has a kind of a special case setup with one soundcard delivering all the left channel audio and one soundcard all the right channel audio. As he succeeded in creating a multi-device though everything else should now be handled one layer up, eg. by pulseaudio. In the end all the fussing about with config files by hand is not user friendly at all and that's why i created this wonderful piece of software - Pulseaudio Crossover Rack. A little bit of self-praisal can never hurt, can it? ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Tfive,
The problem is that I have NOT succeeded in getting my proposal working. Please post your config files. As I said in the OP, your software solves so many problems and is a fantastic solution.

Let's go more metholodical here. Please first confirm that your multi-device is working right now with speaker-test.

Speaker test works. See post 30.
I understand better by seeing the whole picture and working my way through it. Piecemeal drives me nuts.

Do you have the original, unmodified version of /etc/pulse/default.pa in place? If not, grab a backup or reinstall the original version first. If not yet done, make a backup. Then, comment the following section:
Code:
### Automatically load driver modules depending on the hardware available .ifexists module-udev-detect.so load-module module-udev-detect .else ### Use the static hardware detection module (for systems that lack udev support) load-module module-detect .endif Code:
load-module module-alsa-sink device=multidev If it doesn't, well, then we have to investigate further. Pro tip: always go step by step, even if you think this is piecemeal. But this is good practice and the basis to debugging a problem. And if you change multiple things at once, how should we know exactly what is the state of your system and how to fix it? So if you want people to help you, you should heed their advice ![]() |

Hello,
I'm back at after several hectic months. My .pa file is modified. Where can I get an unmodified copy? Edit: Just found one. Does this look right? Quote:
