Ahhh, here we go: dave@slynux ~ $ envy24control invalid card type (driver is CMI8738-MC6) dave@slynux ~ $ envy24control --help Segmentation fault dave@slynux ~ $ envy24control -f envy24control: option requires an argument -- f usage: envy24control [-c card#] [-D control-name] [-o num-outputs] [-i num-inputs] [-p num-pcm-outputs] [-s num-spdif-in/outs] [-v] [-f profiles-file] [profile name|profile id] -c, --card Alsa card number to control -D, --device control-name -o, --outputs Limit number of analog line outputs to display -i, --input Limit number of analog line inputs to display -p, --pcm_output Limit number of PCM outputs to display -s, --spdif Limit number of spdif inputs/outputs to display -v, --view_spdif_playback shows the spdif playback channels in the mixer -f, --profiles_file use file as profiles file So, the problem is possibly because my Alsa setup still has the motherboard onboard sound as card 0, and my Audiophile as card 1. I only found out how to switch that around the other day, and haven't bothered yet, although somehow I found out I had to run "envy24control -c1" to get it to work. Can't remember how I discovered that, but I'd certainly never got a list of command line parameters before. Still, seems strange that envy24control segfaults when you run it with --help, as you can run it with any old -garbagehere and it'll output help, but if you --usethedoubledash it causes a segfault. Oh well, it's a very useful program in conjunction with the Audiophile nonetheless. ~Dave -- Dave Silvester Music Technology Junkie | Rentable Website Monkey http://www.mu-sly.co.uk | http://www.rentamonkey.com
