The idea is to refer to audio interfaces by name or device-id rather than numeric ID. cat /proc/asound/cards gives you a list. - use the names between the square brackets e.g. jackd -R -P70 -t1000 -dalsa -d 'hw:Intel' -r48000 -p1024 -n2 HTH, robin _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
