Asus Xonar DG

[ross]

I have installed the 2005 revision and my Xonar DG doesn't seem to work. No sound is coming out during the test. Is there anything I could be overlooking?

I have my speakers hooked up to the analog out jack.

Code: Select all

Can you paste the output of 'ossmix -a'?

Certainly:

Seems that the problem is there.

edit:

Ok, toggling is easy, but what to toggle?

[cesium]

Hmm... Try toggling speaker-spread and analog.

[ross]

no matter the way that i toggled those, osstest preformed the same.

[cesium]

Looking at the code, I think dev meant adding support for Xonar DS, not DG, and DG was a spelling error? You can try emailing this list and ask the devs?

[ross]

That would explain it. Thanks for the help. I'll post to the list.
