I am wondering if anyone has the M-Audio Audiophile 2496 working SPDIF? I've read the documentation for the driver, and stated the following: "- DMX-6fire frontbox is partially working (no spdif yet). " Which I have no idea what this means... Any help would be greatly appericated. HFC

As far as I can tell, everything works fine on the Audiophile. My main problem is that I can't find a way to get Envy24Control to load my default settings each time, and alsactl doesn't seem to want to do it either, so every time I want to use the sound card I have to manually load Envy24Control and select my default setting - only takes a few seconds though, so it's not much hassle. (It's just a bit annoying, because I can't find a way to automate it - Envy24Control doesn't seem to have any command line parameters!) Also, I'm still working on getting Audacity to record from the Audiophile, so at the moment I just use arecord from a shell, which works well enough for my purposes that I haven't really spent much time trying to fix Audacity. But, other than that, everything is working, and it's a great card too - highly recommended! I'd be happy to help out by trying to remember what I did to get it working, if you get stuck. :-) Cheers, ~Dave -- Dave Silvester Music Technology Junkie | Rentable Website Monkey http://www.mu-sly.co.uk | http://www.rentamonkey.com

I only found out how to switch that around the other day, and haven't bothered yet, although somehow I found out I had to run "envy24control -c1" to get it to work. Can't remember how I discovered that, but I'd certainly never got a list of command line parameters before. Still, seems strange that envy24control segfaults when you run it with --help, as you can run it with any old -garbagehere and it'll output help, but if you --usethedoubledash it causes a segfault. Oh well, it's a very useful program in conjunction with the Audiophile nonetheless. ~Dave -- Dave Silvester Music Technology Junkie | Rentable Website Monkey http://www.mu-sly.co.uk | http://www.rentamonkey.com
