6. Connecting to a Linux computer
No driver is needed for a computer provided with the Linux operating
system and an ALSA module, as ALSA natively supports USB Audio Class
2.0.
To use the
Unico CDDue
USB input with a computer provided with Linux
operating system, it is sufficient to access the audio configuration panel and
select the “UNISON USB DAC 1” peripheral in the “Output” section, as
shown in figure 26.
Figure 26
Configuring a player under Linux: Audacious
Of course, even with Linux, it could be necessary to select the
Unico
CDDue
USB input as predefined audio output peripheral. As an example,
the recommended configuration for Audacious, which is widely used under
Linux, is shown. As displayed in Figure 27, the user needs to access
Audacious’ preferences and select “ALSA output”. Then, the user must
click on “Preferences”, right below the drop-down menu for output
selection: the window shown in the lower portion of Figure 27 will appear.
Set its various parameters as shown in Figure.
