Could this be the reason? To me, the naming of the options '-i, --input' and '-o, --output' was misleading. The output of 'man aconnect' clarifies a little: input (readable), output (writable). use aconnect <readable_port> <writable_port> which corresponds to the (misleading) aconnect <input_port> <output_port> best, d _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
