What is the preferred way to do so? To use your second card, you have to specifify the device somewhere. If you want just the hardware abilities, just use the "hw:1" device instead of "default:1" or whatever you are using now. (your "default" PCM is defined in $PREFIX/share/alsa/cards/ICE1712.conf) Rene. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
