It is the ownly way to see really what is going on with the Multiface. There seems to be no way to read out the current gain settings of the hardware/firmware, so the only way is letting hdspmixer control everything. You can do really advanced stuff with hdspmixer like creating several custom mixes on the fly. For crittical recording sessions, I use such a custom mix and deliver it to a DAT, in case the whole brave new computer technology has again some problems. Best thing is: this even works after you disconnect the mutiface from your Laptop, until you shut down the power. The other problems with audacity (resolved in newest version for this), xmms etc. stem from the fact they use the OSS-Connection and this delivers the sound simultanously to all output channels. The default for the hdsp firmware is to mix all channels to the analog line, and thus you get way to much output level. This one is simple to resolve with the hdspmixer as well: You create a specific setup for OSS Playback an map it to one of the 8 Preset buttons. hope this helps, Hermann Vosseler -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFE+LlTZbZrB6HelLIRAhFfAJ9Kd8Z8IuGy0jBwoYy4mXC5vfQI4QCfQtFC 7zN/ZdiNCZf5wgrtQdkGfgQ= =U89Q -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
