Retrospection My setup is using libasound2 1.0.23-4 from the Debian repositories only, any other ALSA packages could be completely removed, without the need to replace them by dummy packages. I kept this libasound2, also not a dummy package and installed the self build kernel 2.6.39.1. There's e.g. no libasound development package installed. One issue already is solved, thank you :). $ ls /dev/snd/seq -lh crw------- 1 root root 116, 1 Jun 7 16:50 /dev/snd/seq Anything else already has permissions set to group 'audio'. $ ls /etc/udev/rules.d 70-persistent-cd.rules 70-persistent-net.rules z60_hdparm.rules $ su -c gedit $ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules # sound #SUBSYSTEM=="sound", GROUP="audio" KERNEL=="seq", GROUP="audio", MODE="0660", \ OPTIONS+="static_node=snd/seq" Then I rebooted. $ ls /dev/snd/seq -lh crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 1 Jun 7 2011 /dev/snd/seq I never tested with SUBSYSTEM=="sound", GROUP="audio", but seemingly it's at least not needed for Debian. Now there's another issue when starting qjackctl, while jackd isn't running: 19:25:31.823 Patchbay deactivated. 19:25:31.826 Statistics reset. 19:25:31.933 ALSA connection change. Cannot connect to server socket err = No such file or directory Cannot connect to server socket jack server is not running or cannot be started 19:25:31.950 ALSA connection graph change. 19:25:35.367 JACK is starting... 19:25:35.368 /usr/bin/jackd -dalsa -r48000 -p256 -n2 -D -Chw:0 -Phw:0 Cannot connect to server socket err = No such file or directory Cannot connect to server socket jack server is not running or cannot be started 19:25:35.418 Could not start JACK. Sorry. Running $ jackd --sync -Xalsarawmidi -dalsa -r48000 -p1024 jackdmp 1.9.8 and then starting qjackctl is ok, btw. the name shown by qjackctl's connect window is 'RME AIO_579bcc' :). There's still another issue left. I need two sound card mixers, envy24control, even if my two TerraTec EWX 96/24 cards now should be MIDI interfaces only and much more important rather hdspmixer than alsamixer, for the RME HSDSPe AIO. $ wget ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/tools/alsa-tools-1.0.24.1.tar.bz2 $ tar xjf alsa-tools-1.0.24.1.tar.bz2 $ cd alsa-tools-1.0.24.1/hdspmixer $ ./configure [snip] configure: error: Sufficiently new version of libasound not found. Not only needed to build those mixers ;). There should be /usr/include/alsa and there is /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.39.1/include/sound. I'll try a soft link after cooking. Is this correct, or am I mistaken? OT: Is http://nielsmayer.com/envy24control/mudita24-1.0.3.tar.gz or a similar mudita version included to alsa-tools or is it an old version? I don't know which file shows the version. Regards, Ralf
