Dear listmembers, dear Sarah, dear Andiry, Andiry's suggestion (uncomment the return 0 - statement) fixed my issue, the usb soundcard remains active after a login-logout; however, as I understood Sarah's comment this is no more than a plaster on the problem. So, I am willing to do more testing - but I depend on your inputs as I am lacking the required programming skills to actually understand what's happening within the driver. Please let me know what you'd suggest to do next ... Thank you very much, take care Dieter Jurzitza -- ----------------------------------------------------------- | \ /\_/\ | | ~x~ |/-----\ / \ /- \_/ ^^__ _ / _ ____ / <°°__ \- \_/ | |/ | | || || _| _| _| _| if you really want to see the pictures above - use some font with constant spacing like courier! :-) ----------------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
