I installed a new PCI based soundcard in my PC. It has 8 S/PDIF based I/O pairs with each line numbered 1 to 8 for input as well as output. And I'm trying to use lines 3-8 for input (mics) and 3-8 for output (play) in stereo with :



  • line 3 + line 4 = channel 1 (both input and output),

  • line 5 + line 6 = channel 2 (both input and output),

  • line 7 + line 8 = channel 3 (both input and output).

So, I created the following .asoundrc:



pcm.!default 
type plug
slave
pcm "hw:1,0"



ctl.!default
type hw
card 1



pcm.play_out_44
type dmix
ipc_key 1201
ipc_key_add_uid true
slave
pcm "hw:1,0"
channels 2

format S32_LE
buffer_size 4096
period_size 1024



pcm.rec_in_44
type dsnoop
ipc_key 1210
slave
pcm "hw:1,0"
channels 2
rate 44100
buffer_size 4096
period_size 1024




pcm.outch1
type plug
slave
pcm "play_out_44"
bindings

pcm.inch1

hint.description "PCI Card Stereo output/playback channel 2 (from output ports 5 & 6)"



pcm.inch2
type plug

pcm "rec_in_44"
bindings

5 5

hint.description "PCI Card Stereo input/capture channel 2 (from input ports 5 & 6)"



pcm.outch3

pcm.inch3

slave
pcm "rec_in_44"
bindings
6 6
7 7

hint.description "PCI Card Stereo input/capture channel 3 (from input ports 7 & 8)"




As mentioned here, I created a new dmix type to suit my configuration. But when I try to open Audacity to try and play and capture, none of inch1, inch2, inch3, outch1, outch2, outch3 are available in the recording device or playback device list!



How do I modify or create a .asoundrc for stereo play and stereo capture on my device?
