Native O.S. add drivers?

Post by cbredfred »

Is it possible to add additional device drivers to the native o2 operating system(Tango???)?
I have a 5 different USB sound cards that I'd like to get working with Squeezeplay under Tango.
2 (Headroom Total Bithead and FiiO E7) of them work fine.
2 cheapos that play the sounds abnormally fast.
1 that doesn't work at all.
I HAVE DONE THE ASOUND.CONF CHANGES, THAT IS HOW I KNOW 2 WORK FINE.
I also would like to add drivers for a wireless keyboard/trackball and a Microsoft Media Center Remote (IR).
Is it possible to add drivers or is Tango locked down in some way?

Thank you for any help,

Clive

You might want to try adding a "rate" statement to your asound.conf to reduce the speeded-up playing issues? I was getting various pops and bumps playing 48kHz material through two USB cards (a FiiO E7 and Behringer UCA222) until I changed my file as below. I'd ideally like to find a way for the cards to recognise the source sample rate correctly (the Behringer at least is supposed to support both 44.1 & 48kHz rates) but getting ALSA to do the resampling at least produced something listenable.

# cat /etc/asound.conf
pcm.!default {
type hw
rate 44100
card 1
}
ctl.!default {
type hw
card 1
}#

Thank you for the reply.

I tried adding "rate 44100" to the asound.conf file but unfortunately I then don't get any sound at all.
Any other ideas?
