hello, i recently started to work with the Native Instruments AUDIO KONTROL 1 usb soundcard on my Debian laptop and still have some minor problems with the device configuration. first of all, i would like to know, how i can force the device to send in mono signals on the left channel rather than on the right one (it does things the latter way at the moment). this is important, because otherwise i won't hear anything when I record mono signals with, say, arecord or Audacity. This issue can probably be fixed with the help of an asoundrc file, which i already have. Here's a copy of it: -- #internal pcm.hda { type hw card 0 device 0 subdevice 0 } ctl.hda { type hw card 0 device 0 subdevice 0 } #external pcm_slave.ak_one { pcm "hw:1,0,0" } pcm.usb { type plug slave ak_one } ctl.usb { type plug slave ak_one } -- i think the magic word concerning my problem is "bindings". but i do not quite understand how that works, really (read the docs already). maybe things will become more clear if someone explains that in a simple way an gives me a code example that fits. thanx in advance! noizquake ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
