I changed my config like so and restarted alsasound with the same results: .asoundrc: pcm.usb-audio { type hw card 0 } pcm.usb-audio_44 { type plug slave { pcm usb-audio rate 44100 } } mpd.conf: audio_output { type "alsa" name "USB Monica" device "usb_audio_44" } I also tried .asoundrc with usb_audio instead of usb-audio and mpd.conf with: type "usb-audio_44" Do you see the problem? - Grant ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
