I think it might relate to PortAudio problems. Does anyone know how I can reset it? Thanks. Try adding a pair of lines in /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf to explicitly assign a particular alsa driver to the default card, card 0, and the other alsa driver to the alternate card, card 1, something like this: options snd-hda-intel index=1 options snd-hdsp index=0 Of course you have to modify these statements to correctly name the proper drivers for your two audio interfaces. But the trick here is that card 0 is the default output, and card 1 is the secondary or alternate ihterface. Add the two lies, perhaps at the bottom of the file, then reboot and say an appropriate prayer. > > - Austin > > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup at braille.uwo.ca > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup -- Chuck in Hudson.
