envy24control may make _more_ sense, but it still gives me grief (note - i am not the original poster). although i have it mostlyfigured out, it does wiered things to me like setting the HW outs to PCM1/PCM2 after I have set them to Digital Mix. Of course it is likely that I am doing something wrong. I am using jack with ardour and hydrogen, and i find that often when i am switching from capturing to playing back, the mixer has "magically" switched itself while i was messing with the jack connections.
