For some of what I do here I have a little Alesis multimix8 USB... (built in USB soundcard) One thing you can do is have two sound cards. Set your normal system stuff to use one sound card (say the onboard in my case) and your recording stuff to use the other (say the multimix in my case) - this can work fine depending on your needs. That little Alesis mixer is a decent price for what it gives you to my way of thinking. I have a similar setup on another box with a delta 1010 and an onboard card. all the best, drew _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
