I'm using linux-2.6.21-gentoo-r4 and ALSA v1.0.14cr2 looks like everything is loading... I dont hear any sound and I dont see any reference to the ADAT channels in ALSA mixer? I want to have the 8 ADAT channels coming into the 1212m and monitor out on two of the 1212m outputs. Physically, everything is cabled ok, (boot in XP, makes sound) I went into alsamixer and turned everything up. I dont understand why I see references to Surround, Center. as opposed to specific ADAT channels? what am I doing wrong? appreciate any help. the how-to on 1212m drive says testers are needed for ADAT features.. let me know what to do! :-) thanks Ken Also, I'll probably turn off the SiS sound in bios jsut to simplify everything. $ cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [SI7012 ]: ICH - SiS SI7012 SiS SI7012 with ALC655 at 0xe000, irq 16 1 [UM3EX ]: USB-Audio - UM-3EX EDIROL UM-3EX at usb-0000:00:03.0-2.1, full speed 2 [EMU1212m ]: Audigy2 - E-mu 1212m [4001] E-mu 1212m [4001] (rev.3, serial:0x40011102) at 0xef00, irq 19 $ cat /proc/modules snd_rtctimer 7712 0 - Live 0xe0d05000 snd_emu10k1_synth 11136 0 - Live 0xe0c0f000 snd_emux_synth 35584 1 snd_emu10k1_synth, Live 0xe0c30000 snd_seq_virmidi 11008 1 snd_emux_synth, Live 0xe0bdc000 snd_seq_midi_emul 10112 1 snd_emux_synth, Live 0xe0be3000 snd_seq_midi 12416 0 - Live 0xe0c0a000 snd_pcm_oss 43392 0 - Live 0xe0c18000 snd_mixer_oss 19584 1 snd_pcm_oss, Live 0xe0c04000 snd_seq_dummy 7940 0 - Live 0xe0be0000 snd_seq_oss 34688 0 - Live 0xe0bfa000 snd_seq_midi_event 11008 3 snd_seq_virmidi,snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_oss, Live 0xe08d0000 snd_seq 50544 13 snd_emux_synth,snd_seq_virmidi,snd_seq_midi_emul,snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event, Live 0xe0bec000 snd_emu10k1 114080 2 snd_emu10k1_synth, Live 0xe094b000 snd_util_mem 8704 2 snd_emux_synth,snd_emu10k1, Live 0xe08cc000 snd_usb_audio 79104 0 - Live 0xe08fb000 snd_usb_lib 19328 1 snd_usb_audio, Live 0xe0899000 snd_rawmidi 26624 4 snd_seq_virmidi,snd_seq_midi,snd_emu10k1,snd_usb_lib, Live 0xe08f3000 snd_seq_device 12044 8 snd_emu10k1_synth,snd_emux_synth,snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_emu10k1,snd_rawmidi, Live 0xe08ad000 snd_hwdep 12932 3 snd_emux_synth,snd_emu10k1,snd_usb_audio, Live 0xe08a8000 snd_intel8x0 35612 3 - Live 0xe08d4000 snd_ac97_codec 92192 2 snd_emu10k1,snd_intel8x0, Live 0xe0911000 ac97_bus 6528 1 snd_ac97_codec, Live 0xe084c000 snd_pcm 75524 7 snd_pcm_oss,snd_emu10k1,snd_usb_audio,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec, Live 0xe08df000 snd_timer 24836 4 snd_rtctimer,snd_seq,snd_emu10k1,snd_pcm, Live 0xe08b1000 snd 53764 26 snd_rtctimer,snd_emux_synth,snd_seq_virmidi,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_emu10k1,snd_usb_audio,snd_usb_lib,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device,snd_hwdep,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer, Live 0xe08b9000 soundcore 11616 1 snd, Live 0xe08a4000 snd_page_alloc 13832 3 snd_emu10k1,snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm, Live 0xe089f000 nvidia 4553812 8 - Live 0xe0d49000 (P) i2c_core 24832 1 nvidia, Live 0xe084f000 hello ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
