But, let me give it a go. Okay, tried that. Nope, not a conflcit. Uplugged the scanner and tried the front port. No go. And to confirm things, I swapped the sanner cable with the the one I was using to connect to the audio. The audio works on the rear; the sanner works on the front.

But, like you said, it's unlikely. > dmesg |tail should tell you about usb 2.0 and cat /proc/interrupts should > tell you what irq the usb port dmesg tels you about is using (and what > else is on that irq too). Yes, interesting about the irqs. 16: 119 26 IO-APIC-fasteoi ohci_hcd:usb2 17: 20242 257 IO-APIC-fasteoi ohci_hcd:usb3, ohci_hcd:usb5 18: 17014 241 IO-APIC-fasteoi ohci_hcd:usb4, ohci_hcd:usb6, nvidia 19: 251870 81570 IO-APIC-fasteoi ehci_hcd:usb1 My small brain, after looking at some syslog stuff seem to indicate that the front panel ports are USB 1-9 and USB 1-10. I am assuming that my expander port (which has keyboard, mouse and other "stuff" attached) is also on USB 1. So, could just be that I'm adding too much stuff to port 1? I'm sure that I had the audio device working on the front panel, but it might be that I moved the rear ports around ... ending with my multi-usb on the same port as the front panel. Too bad the MB doesn't label this stuff !!!! -- **** Listen to my CD at http://www.mellowood.ca/music/cedars **** Bob van der Poel ** Wynndel, British Columbia, CANADA ** EMAIL: bob@xxxxxxxxxxxx WWW: http://www.mellowood.ca _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
