The problem with Cantata and gmusicbrowser is that they are not supported anymore :-(
But those are still the ones I prefer...
For Cantata, you have to edit a file.
That file can be found (on my system) as an invisible file in the "home" folder.
To see the invisible files, hit "Ctrl - H".
You should have a "local" folder that appears.
Open it.
Inside that folder, you should have a folder called "share".
Open it.
Inside that folder you should have a folder called "cantata".
Open it.
Inside that folder, you should have a folder called "mpd".
Open it.
Inside that folder, you should see a file called "mpd.conf".
Open it.
In your text editor, just make sure that you have something like this :
audio_output {
type "alsa"
name "ALSA sound card"
# Optional
device "hw:2,0"
mixer_control "PCM"
}
The only thing that you may have to change is the "device "hw:2,0".
To know what you should enter there, you will have to open a terminal.
In the terminal, type "aplay -l".
This will give a list of audio output.
Look at the output you would like to use.
For that device you should see a line like this (this is in french, but I assume you can translate easily
)
"carte 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], périphérique 1: ALC1150 Digital [ALC1150 Digital]".
Note the # of "card" and the # of peripheral (in this case that would be "0,1").
Just enter that combination as a string after the "hw:X,X".
Save the file.
Start Cantata.
Done...
This looks like it is long...
It litterally takes 3 minutes top !
Regards.
