Re: [linux-audio-user] Just bought a Delta 1010LT, now what..?

Okay, so I've done all that and the card can record and playback with ardour and jack. However xmms is packing a sad. It comes up with that all to familiar dialog box saying taht I should check if the correct output is selected, that no program is blocking the soundcard, or that the soundcard is configured properly. If I change the output to OSS instead of ALSA, it works but I'm sure I should be able to get that thing working with alsa. To make matters worse, a small tragedy is unfolding on my Linux box. Once upon a time with my SB Live! I could have hundreds of programs running, playing, doing whatever and I would never ever get a single xrun. I don't know what I have done lately, whether it was from upgrading to xorg or having two soundcards in one machine but now I get xruns all over the show. Jack doesn't cut ardour out anymore but there is all the clipping and popping in the recording. I have spent countless hours getting xruns to go away. To have them mysteriously show up again is such a <enter really violent expletive here>. I even went from xorg 6.8 to 6.7 to xfree86 just to see if that got rid of them. I went back to the SB Live! and they were still there. I have 1GB free and no other settings bar the ones mentioned in this thread have changed and now I may as well count 3 days of my life gone when I get around to fixing it again. <sigh> Anyhow, would having two cards in the machine be screwing things up? Has anyone got some advice to get xmms to use alsa? I'm a gentooer by the way. There aint too much stuff about 1010LTs on the forums. Cheers, Glenn
