Hello I'm hopingthat someone out there can help me with this problem. I have ecamegapedal installed on a Redhat 8.0 box with 2 sound cards. The default soundcard is a Creative AWE64(hw:0,0) and the 2nd sound card is a Creative PCI128/ ens1371(hw:1,0). I have ALSA 1.0.6a installed and can use the pcm devices of both sound cards , i.e: $aplay -Dhw:1,0 foo.wav works fine. I am unable to start ecamegapedal using the second sound card, I have tried the following: $ecamegapedal -i:alsahw,1,0 -o:alsahw,1,0 $ecamegapedal -i:alsa,snd-card-1 -o:alsa,snd-card-1 (snd-card-1 is the alias used in modules.conf and .asoundrc) Ecamegapedal starts but a small window saying "unable to start processing" comes up and sound is a no go. The console that I started ecamegapedal with dispays the following error messages: Warning: DBC_REQUIRE failed - "is_valid()", eca-control-objects.cpp, 454. Warning: DBC_REQUIRE failed - "selected_chainsetup_repp->is_valid()", eca-session.cpp, 331. Ecamegapedal does work with the default card, no -i or -o options given on the command line, but the AWE64 is not a good duplex card and I want to keep my AWE64 as the default card. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Paul
