Very mysteriously the inputs *do* work now (only tested analog so far). I do not think I have changed anything and do not understand why they started working... I can't say yet, if they do work always now, or only under certain conditions... OK, I have to read manuals of Audacity or ReZound or something... I hope I'll find something which is simple enough to set up for a quick first test. It can be quite confusing in such a situation, you can never be sure if you made a mistake or if the hw is not working... >> I am a bit resistant to downgrade the firmware. >> I'd like to hear from somebody who really knows what's the situation >> with firmware, maybe Thomas? > > Yes, I understand.
