Well I switched back to generic kernel now that I am in the audio group Ripped for almost 45 minutes before it hit "stop" on me. Which is pretty outstanding. At this point I think I give up. I have another computer I was going to dedicate to media PC anyway, and it is closer to the turntable. So I'm just going to set that up and see what happens. Well, I'll keep this going if you guys will ... off to reply to a few more of your emails. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
