Hi I hope someone can help with this . I have two sound cards on this machine, a M-audio D66 which I use for SDR work and a USB PNP onboard device. I normally have pulseaudio very disabled. Since trying to get another application to run I've managed to screw things up. Portaudio pa_devs shows the card is device 2 hw 0:0, no matter which application I use no audio gets routed, yet if I run the Envy24 panel I can switch the audio input to output directly. If I install pulseaudio it can see both the card output only but not the D66 input. lsmod shows the module for the D66 card is loaded.. Any ideas, I'm close to a reinstall -- Best wishes Richard Bown ##################################################################### Registered Linux User 36561 OS: Mandriva 2009.1 x86_64, on AMD Dual Athlon 64 +4400: 8 GB RAM DDR2 Ham Call: G8JVM , QRA IO82SP, Interests Microwave ####################################################################
