Detecting Creative Sound Card in Linux
As I am working on a project where I need to play external audio into a application, as you are aware that dealing with audio in Linux can be challenging.
As such, here is a simple solution to it =)
My test environment:
CentOS 5.5 64bit
Creative Blaster S80490 (USB)
yum install -y alsa-utils |
Once I installed Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (known as ALSA), I can run the following command to see whether my audio is detected by the system.
[root@localhost src]# aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: External [SB Live! 24-bit External], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 |
I got my audio devices detected by the Linux system. So now, I can move on to the next stage of integrating into my applications now. 🙂
Hope this helps someone out there…
