The .asoundrc setup should have little to do with what multiple io ports show up. When you connect jack to hw:0 any available ports on that device should show up. You would only need features available from .asoundrc if you wanted to use a plug interface of some sort, and those things are dog slow. regards -Reuben -----Original Message----- From: Adam King [mailto:aking@lgh.com.au] Sent: Sat 11/1/2003 7:13 PM To: linux-audio-user(a)music.columbia.edu Cc: Subject: [linux-audio-user] Soundblaster Live w/Live Drive Hi all, I've just purchased a Soundblaster Live Platinum 5.1 w/Live Drive. I've got it all set up and working with the ALSA drivers but I am having trouble with JACK and the .asoundrc file. I want to be able to have multiple in/out ports. Example, I want to be able to use jackEQ and send the master output to speakers, and the monitor output out to headphones. Does anyone have a same .asoundrc file or can give me tips on how to set it up? I've tried reading the ALSA docs but am not having much luck. Thanks, - Adam
