Problem with Altec Lansing usb speakers

Wed May 07, 2008 6:16 pm

Good evening,

I am having some problems with a set of Altec Lansing usb speakers that I have. First my set up.

I am using Amarok version 1.4.8 on KDE 3.5.9 on PCLinuxOS 2007 (fully updated). MY laptop is a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pro 7010.

I have followed this info in the wiki :

How can I change where the audio is output to?

Using xine's ALSA output pluggin, you can output to a specific device (or all devices).

Finding the names of your cards

Find out the name of your soundcards with the command:

cat /proc/asound/cards

In the example below, the first card (card 0) is called "Live" and the second card (card 1) called "Headset":

oliver@panda:~$ cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [live ]: EMU10K1 - SBLive! Value [CT4832]
SBLive! Value [CT4832] (rev.8, serial:0x80271102) at 0xd000, irq 5
1 [Headset ]: USB-Audio - Logitech USB Headset
Logitech Logitech USB Headset at usb-0000:00:04.2-2, full speed

Using a specific soundcard: method 1

Enter the word "plughw:" and the name of your card in the box labelled "device used for stereo output:" in the xine-engine configuration tab. For example:

plughw:Headset

Alternatively, I had to use this entry to make my USB headphones work.

hw:Headset,0

In the preferences I can set the xine-engine to use plughw:Audio as the default device for stereo output (Audio being my usb speakers) and I click Apply followed by OK and close the preferences window. The first track then plays fine through the speakers but when the next track starts playing no sound comes from the usb speakers but does come from the inbuilt speakers. Going to preferences again shows that xine-engine has reverted to its default settings.

Anyone any idea how I can get the preferences to keep the settings for more than one track.

Regards
