Hi,
I am using my "special" alsa configuration, which works perfectly for alsa only system:
$ cat /etc/asound.conf
# this upmix front channels to rear ones (which are mixed to subwoofer probably on driver level)
pcm.upmix4021 {
type plug
slave.pcm lowpass2121
slave.channels 4
ttable {
0.0 1
1.1 1
2.2 1
3.3 1
0.2 1
1.3 1
}
}
# this should apply low pass filter for rear channels (played by subwoofer)
pcm.lowpass2121 {
type ladspa
slave.pcm upmix4040
path "/usr/lib/ladspa"
channels 4
plugins {
0 {
id 1672 # 4 Pole Low-Pass Filter with Resonance (FCRCIA) (1672/lp4pole_fcrcia_oa)
policy none
input.bindings.2 "Input";
output.bindings.2 "Output";
input { controls [ 100 0 ] }
}
1 {
id 1672 # 4 Pole Low-Pass Filter with Resonance (FCRCIA) (1672/lp4pole_fcrcia_oa)
policy none
input.bindings.3 "Input";
output.bindings.3 "Output";
input { controls [ 100 0 ] }
}
2 {
id 1098
policy duplicate
input.bindings.0 "Input";
output.bindings.0 "Output";
}
}
}
#this corrects channel order
pcm.upmix4040 {
type plug
slave.pcm dmixer
slave.channels 4
ttable {
0.2 1
1.3 1
2.0 1
3.1 1
}
}
pcm.dmixer {
type dmix
ipc_key 1024
slave {
pcm "hw:0,0"
channels 4
}
}
pcm.!default upmix4021
ctl.!default {
type hw
card 0
}I need to use Pulseaudio for Plasma 5.4 and Skype. So I would like to use virtual alsa device upmix4021 as a sink for Pulseaudio. I changed my /etc/pulse/default.pa:
