Hi!
I recently bought the Audiotrak Prodigy HD2 (2ch 'hifi' sound card /w SPDIF optical out. Uses the Envy24 chip from VIA). When using the analog output, everything was fine. (allthough the card would only play sounds from one app at the time)
I've never fiddled with ALSA before (recently moved over from Ubuntu), so this is a new field for me.
The thing that is weirdest is that Totem is working. It plays both sound and video just fine. And gnome-sound-properties output the standard beep when selecting IEC1724 IEC958.
Some ouput:
aplay -l

Would really appreciate a little help here:)

A little update:
With the gstreamer-properties (i believe Totem uses it?), i found these settings:
Default output:
Plugin: Custom
Device: None (this box is disabled)
Pipeline: halaudiosink udi=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_1412_1724_alsa_playback_1
How does that pipeline work?

Okay, here is my current asound.conf (if anyone else will ever be searching for a solution to this "problem"..)
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm {
type dmix
ipc_key 1478
slave {
pcm "hw:0,1"
format S32_LE
period_time 0
period_size 1024
buffer_size 8192
}
}
}
Pasted it together from other config files for the Envy24HT-S. It works fine though, except the volum control slider in gnome.
