sound settings alsa settings pre defined cards external amlifier

15 July 2019 - 21:11

I have "vu+ like" receiver: OPEN PLI 4, year 2015 chip BCM7358 and want to upgrade to the other modern model.

 

The "standard" configuration of video and of sound passes though HDMI interface or via "Lotus" connectors.

OPEN PLII engineers put ALSA configurations into

1. /etc/asound.conf  

2. multiple files in /user/share/alsa

where pre defined cards configuration location: /user/share/alsa/cards

 

Problem description:

1. I want to get

- video signal from the receiver (Enigma2) to the monitor via HDMI cable,

- sound signal from the receiver (Enigma2) to the amplifier or via DAC  via RCA connector (also known as Lotus connector)

2. But there is no description of enigma2 commands and of "guides" for the configuration of ALSA given by Open PlI engineers.

Actions:

I connect the amplifier or DAC to the receiver (2.0 stereo) RCA output and to the amplifier or to DAC input via RCA cable (Lotus connectors),

Open PLI command:

aplay -l , response: no sound device

lshw : no such command

lspci : no pci device (or similar response)

   

Questions to OPEN PLI ENGINEERS:

1. Which command can give the possibility to see my connected DAC (external sound card/amplifire) via RCA cable?

2. Which files and by which method shall I configure such files in order to see the external amplifier / DAC (external sound card) in telnet?

3. or : do you have the configuration files for 2.0 sound connection (stereo), which is separate from HDMI signal (I do not need audio signal to monitor via HDMI)?  

 

Thanks. 

ENCLOSED: RCA (Lotus) connectors from the OPEN PLI 4 receiver to amplifier.
