Hi all, This is a fairly simple problem. My asound.conf looks like: pcm.envy1 { type hw card 1 } but running: jackd -v -R -d alsa -d envy1 gives the output: getting driver descriptor from /usr/lib/jack/jack_dummy.so getting driver descriptor from /usr/lib/jack/jack_alsa.so jackd 0.95.6 Copyright 2001-2003 Paul Davis and others. jackd comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; see the file COPYING for details registered builtin port type 32 bit float mono audio loading driver .. new client: alsa_pcm, id = 1 type 1 @ 0x8061b88 fd = -1 creating alsa driver ... envy1|envy1|1024|2|48000|0|0|nomon|swmeter|rt|32bit ALSA lib pcm.c:1954:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM envy1 jackd: pcm.c:690: snd_pcm_nonblock: Assertion `pcm' failed.
