Re: AVLinux Default Sound Card How-To

Related thread may still be apropos if 2.5 years old, though my problem is video falling behind audio not vice-versa. The ALSA output was designed with (10-years old) audio hardware in mind. Its buffering characteristics don't really work with PulseAudio in my experience. I suspect the buffers are ...

Re: AVLinux Default Sound Card How-To

Linux ATI open source video support is superb for older cards. In fact 720p plays pretty well on the old box. But mplayer and mpv report the odd mis-sync. All the box needs is proper tuning. I think the sync issues are more video than sound. Whether CPU or GPU does processing depends on encoding sup...

Re: AVLinux Default Sound Card How-To

select the card you want in Qjackctl, as of AV 6.0.2 Thank you GMaq. And thank you for AVLinux. I will send a $5 donation (postal address?). Gads I love those icons you used. Can you tell me where to get them for KDE? Your tip makes sense now that you explain it. I still recommend a simple-minded t...

Re: AVLinux Default Sound Card How-To

It seems like with a live DVD you cannot set anything since there is no way to store the configuration. It would be better to run from USB stick or install to hard drive. Also, you should be able to pick which card to use with QJackCtl, but with a live DVD you won't be able to save this configurati...

Re: AVLinux Default Sound Card How-To

http://alsa.opensrc.org/MultipleCards Also, in the jack setup, you can always call the card by its short name instead of by its number. I.e., hw:CARD where CARD is the name shown between square brackets in the output of "cat /proc/asound/cards". Thank you Pablo, but a live DVD comes preco...

AVLinux Default Sound Card How-To

AVLinux 6.0.2 live DVD on PC with two (2) sound cards. How to set the default card? 1. Bad motherboard sound (some Realtek, VIA chips on 10-yr-old mobo) 2. Good Creative SB Live! 5.1 board in PCI slot. I disabled (1) in BIOS, so it should not even show up. But it does, and AVLinux wants to use it as...
