I haven't noticed any impact so I don't think that is a concern. Yes, that is what I meant. I fully appreciate your help and the others on the list. My useful comment was intended to draw some attention to the fact that at this time and culture in the net, publishing, even poorly disguised email addresses is a bad idea. I did remove 3-stack from modprobe.conf as per Tobin's instructions but this didn't change the device-busy condition. I think that the main question is why I can't hear the ext Line-in signal if I don't write the command-line arecord -D hw:1,0,0 -f S16_LE -c2 -r48000 | aplay -D hw:1 & I shouldn't need to use this line. The mixer shuld be able to mix-in the Line-in without further ado. What is the magic to educate the mixer to do that? Must be a mixer configuration that I am missing. Indeed, there are 2 rows of sockets, 3 sockets on each row on this motherboard. I gather that the D955XBK motherboard I have and the D975XBX that Tobin mentions have the same sound chip. Tobin, thank you for your offer to send (if you remember) a configuration that works. I will certainly appreciate that. Any other ideas/suggestions. Again, thanks in advance. -Polo ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
