Use the 'real' port numbers (the ones at the beginning of the lines aconnect -io outputs) instead. The following works for me: either using the client name string and port numbers $ aconnect FreeWheeling:1 FreeWheeling:0 or using the the client number and port numbers $ aconnect 130:1 130:0 I hope this helps. best, d _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
