the probe mask did work. Thanks for the tip. There's a good post over at http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1...stcount=21 that explains how to calculate the mask. Basically run aplay -l and look at the card numbers. The probe mask is a comma separated list starting from card 0 and going up. a mask of -1 tells it to not mask it. To find what mask you need, check the eld files. There should be four of them, but you only need to look for active ones. The numbers of the active eld files added together will tell you the mask to use. eld#0 = 0x1, eld#1 = 0x2, eld#2 = 0x4, and eld#3 = 0x8. So in my case I have three cards from aplay. card 0 is the onboard, card 1 is NVidia inactive and card 2 is NVidia active. My active eld is eld#3, so I set my mask to probe_mask=-1,0x8,0x8 and everything is working great. I'm assuming cbxbiker61 has 2 active eld files #1 and #3, so 8+2 = 10 which in hex is 0xa. I could be completely off with regards to the active eld files, but that's how it worked out for me.
