Unfortunately I don't know how to do that, and I suspect it can't without a bash script that looks at what audio cards you have connected and does something depending on the results but it would be nice, I too have one low latency preset for the external audio card and a high latency one for the onboard card oh and you have lots to be excited about :) cheers renato _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
