I didn't build and didn't install alsa-oss-1.0.17 alsa-plugins-1.0.24 pyalsa-1.0.24 Then I rebooted. As expected, now ALSA is broken. I tried this and that and next I'll try is adding the Ubuntu repositories and ... to be continued. That's exactly what I don't want, just because I'm curious how a RME card does sound, I'll get it to work, before I return the card to my dealer. Any hints how I get this card working are welcome. Any hints for a sound device, that doesn't sound as bad as M-Audio Deltas and similar sound cards, with similar extreme loss of sound quality, but that will work OOTB with Linux, are welcome too. The best software is useless, when it's impossible or time consuming to get hardware working. Cheers! Ralf
