USB DAC support - ALSA

[Balinus]

Hello!

I have a Peachtree Audio DAC iTx that I'd like to use with an openelec installation (probably with a Wetek device). The manufacturer told me that the DAC was plug and play through USB if the Linux dsitro uses ALSA. I tried looking but could only find an entry named "HD Audio @@@" under the System Settings/Audio output section in my actual OpenElec box (I can't test the DAC with this HTPC).

Can someone tell me if it's ALSA under the hood of OpenElec?

Thanks!

So, no one can tell me what's the audio driver in openElec? From the wiki it's seems to be ALSA, but it's never stated affirmatively.

Yes, it is alsa. And pulseaudio will be soon too.

But I think your problem is lack of some driver for your device.

Well, according to Jason Tate from PeachTree Audio :

"Thanks for writing,
There is no driver required to operate the Dac*iTx with Linux (plug and play). You'll just need to make sure that ALSA is enabled.
Kind Regards,

So, I needed to confirm that ALSA was the audio backbone of OpenElec.

Thanks again!
