Thanks a lot, that was exactly it. I was using the fix drz suggested (the options… thing in asound.conf) and that didn't work. But the simple ctl.dmixer block did the trick. I am so far very contented with the Blackjack, it's just dead simple to use. Have to test real recording yet (only digitised some old cassettes so far), but I expect the sound quality to be really good (for that low price anyway). -- Peter Crighton | (mainly) Progressive Rock musician based in Mainz/Wiesbaden, Germany http://www.petercrighton.de 2011/12/29 alexander <axeldenstore@xxxxxxxxx>: > On 12/28/2011 04:43 PM, Peter Crighton wrote: >> >> So I got the Blackjack for Christmas and it works flawlessly with JACK >> (playback tested in Ardour and Audacity, I haven't tested recording >> yet).
