I am using the console/dsp and ALSA on a motherboard with HDMI. If I am using analog sound on the motherboard it works. If I switch to the digital sound everything else works but asterisk... No sound I mean. /etc/asound.conf for analog is: pcm.snd_card { type hw card 0 device 0 } /etc/asound.conf for digital is: pcm.snd_card { type hw card 0 device 3 } aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 0: VT1708B Analog [VT1708B Analog] Subdevices: 1/2 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 Subdevice #1: subdevice #1 card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: NVIDIA HDMI [NVIDIA HDMI] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 So I thought I was setup correcly - but in digital I get an error on the cli that cannot open console/dsp. Is there something else special to do? Jerry
