Hello again, By the looks of it, the new alsa 0.9.3c snd-usb-audio driver loads correctly with my Quattro, but I get this message when running the alsasound script: "No state is present for card Quattro". I have the impression that the documentation on the alsa site for .asoundrc doesn't really cover the newer asound.state file, is that correct? For instance, alsa looks for a state.Quatto{} clause in asound.state, but I can't find anything in the documentation about this state clause. I don't really know what to put in it. I tried Patrick Shirkey's .asoundrc file from the Wiki but that doesn't work. Any ideas? Thanks in advance and regards, Denis de Leeuw Duarte _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail
