this one has been up before, I've found the cause of pcm being clocked at half speed. Running amixer shows:- Simple mixer control 'Multi Track Internal Clock',0 Capabilities: enum Items: '8000' '9600' '11025' '12000' '16000' '22050' '24000' '32000' '44100' '48000' '64000' '88200' '96000' 'IEC958 Input' Item0: '48000' Simple mixer control 'Multi Track Internal Clock Default',0 Capabilities: enum Items: '8000' '9600' '11025' '12000' '16000' '22050' '24000' '32000' '44100' '48000' '64000' '88200' '96000' Item0: '48000' When the problem appears "Item0" is set to 8000, Is there any way to set the lowest default clock speed to 22050 ? so if it does default to its lowest clock speed it wont drop to 8000. The sound card is a M-Audio delta 66:- 00:0d.0 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies Inc. ICE1712 [Envy24] PCI Multi-Channel I/O Controller (rev 02) Subsystem: VIA Technologies Inc. M-Audio Delta 66 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 17 I/O ports at d800 [size=32] I/O ports at d400 [size=16] I/O ports at d000 [size=16] I/O ports at b800 [size=64] Capabilities: <access denied> 4 ports in & out Also, is there any way when playing back a pcm source to select the port source on all 4 ports to the digital mixer, I need 2 ports to drive some hardware, and 2 ports to monitor. At the moment I can patch ports IN 1 & 2 to OUT 3 & 4 so I can monitor the incoming signals, but so far I cant link if I have a digital source (pcm) ideas please Richard ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
