cool thanks for the speedy reply ico. i'm pretty sure i have the levels up(although i am not near my computer right now) however i don't doubt that is a posibility. i have my system setup up for audio with realtime module set up. and i have been running everything trough jack and for testing. although i can not get anything out of pd, i have used ardour and am getting nothing but distortion.. it seems like a very similar problem that caused a huge thread here last year. alsa, i am still lost. cheers tom On 3/8/06, ico <ico@xxxxxx> wrote: > This may sound ridiculously trivial suggestion, but have you tried running > hdspmixer and making sure that the channels are not muted and that their > levels are up? > > Also, when using Pd with hdsp, try running it via jackd.
