Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] USB Audio Device name

[Frederick E. Stevens]

I have the same audio device.  If you use the command line alsamixer, you can get card information from the F2 menu.  /proc/asound/devices contains information for each card.  I use hw:3,0 (my sequence of sound cards as I have two PCI sound cards and two USB cards) for both capture and playback on my XFI USB device.  It works without problems for me.  If the USB card is the only one you have then the device will be the default alsa device otherwise, it will be hw:*,0.  You can also do aplay -l and get a list of alsa devices and their addresses.

Hope this helps!

Hello Group;

 

I am trying to use an external USB Audio DAC.

According to the documentation in the audio source block, if I leave the device name

blank, the block will use the default alsa audio device.

 

My question is, how do I find out what the name of the USB device is ??

 

Typing lsusb –v produced the following:

 

Bus 002 Device 004: ID 041e:3042 Creative Technology, Ltd

Device Descriptor:

  bLength                18

  bDescriptorType         1

  bcdUSB               1.10

  bDeviceClass            0 (Defined at Interface level)

  bDeviceSubClass         0

  bDeviceProtocol         0

  bMaxPacketSize0        64

  idVendor           0x041e Creative Technology, Ltd

  idProduct          0x3042

  bcdDevice            1.00

  iManufacturer           1 Creative Technology

  iProduct                2 SB X-Fi Surround 5.1

  iSerial                 0

  bNumConfigurations      1

Can anybody help here ??

 

Thanks;

 

Bill
