Paul, Thanx, I did run the alsactl reload and I glad you know what the problem is. I'd love the patch and an explanation. If not for me then for the record, for others who may experience this as well.
The reason i mentioned those two cards is that the both do D/A at 24/192 khz for 6 channels. The RME does only 96 khz, not that you can play DVD audio on Linux yet (pleas correct me if I'm wrong, I'd love to be :) Bearcat On Tue, 2002-04-09 at 14:11, Paul Davis wrote: > >When i first ran this script it complained alsactl cound not find device > >"9652".
