Thanks to the good people on this list, I was able to get my config file right and have alsa recognize the two cards on my system. Hence: bash-3.1# cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [CS4237B ]: CS4237B - CS4237B CS4237B at 0x530, irq 5, dma 1&0 1 [tm ]: USB-Audio - Audiophile USB (tm) M-Audio Audiophile USB (tm) at usb-0000:00:07.2-1, full speed Yea!! I cannot, however, get the M-Audio Audiophile to output any sound. This is the one I really want to use through my stereo system. So far I have tried: ogg123 -D alsa -o card:1 somefile.ogg and I get no sound output. I've tried different options for card:x and still no luck. What is my next step to get this card to work? And thanks to those who have helped thus far. I'm running Slackware 11.0 with a 2.6.17.13 kernel. -Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
