  1. Sorry for raising a zombie thread - but worth posting for those who would try. Well I thought this "version" of linux would prove useful. I even convinced myself the reduced gui was helpful. However - the wireless behavior of Mint makes this an impossible version to use headless. The wireless will suddenly pop over to another channel (without a security key) and leave you without controls. If the wireless drops and reconnects - an intervention is required by the user to reconnect. I'm moving my headless back to Ubuntu, then will figure out how to get MPD running as well.
  2. Does this mean I have to edit this configuration file for each time I want to play a file with a different sample rate? Or is the rate specified here the maximum supported by the DAC? This device does do S/PDIF capture to USB by the way. That is one of the reasons I purchased it over the Aune. So it is a full duplex device. Thanks for the help all btw!
  3. I have gotten the DAC to work. Not yet sure what sample rate (will work on this). I ended up using KDE System Settings (not system settings which is I guess the gnome version) then going to multi media->phonon->audio hardware setup Here I selected the HA INFO and selected Analog Stereo Duplex. I also selected it as sound device under device configuration and specified connector = analog output. I'm not sure how I got here but it works now.
  4. Thanks iago - I'm using 12.04 and the kernel is 3.0.29? (Looking at the boot directory file names) I'll loook further into this. Even if I try to use this as a 44.1kHz device I get nothing but noise on the output. I'm not even hoping for high res yet! What audio player do you recommend for Linux? I use Banshee for listening to my music library but that is all CD stuff. I use Foobar on Windows which allows kernel access sample rate streaming.
  5. Nope. No driver files in Windows. Just shows up as an output under sound devices. It shows up under Linux as Analog Output.
  6. Wondering if anybody can help me here. I have a nifty ($150) DAC with a class A headphone amp that I bought on Ebay. (After a good experience with an Aune I bought for my son when he went away to college). This DAC I'm using for home recording because it goes to 192kHz. It works great in Windows and on the Mac. But my preffered life is in Linux (Ubuntu). When I plug the DAC in there - it shows up fine, I can select it, but everything sounds like electronic grunge. Related to the source material, but grunge. Like the computer doesn't know the data format or something. Does anybody have any experience with this problem in Linux? (I have the same problem with input - using an AES to USB converter BTW). Thanks in advance. Jerry
