Hi , I tried loading the module from default.pa, but it wasn't liked, I have 4 sound devices, I used this to load the amended alsa modules for a M-Audio D66 card:- #!/bin/bash Card='device_id="' # get the ALSA card number for M-Audio D66 card S1=`aplay -l|grep M66|grep -v grep |awk '{print $2}'| sed 's/\:$//'` if [ ! $S1 == 0 ]; then echo " ALSA Card Number=" $S1;device=$Card$S1 fi mod=`pactl list short modules| grep $device |awk '{print $1}'`; echo " pulseaudio module ="$mod if [ ! $mod == 0 ]; then pactl unload-module $mod echo "Module" $mod " has been unloaded" else echo "no module to unload" echo " maybe it worked" fi ### Load Delta 66 hardware pactl load-module module-alsa-sink sink_name=delta_out device=hw:M66 format=s24le channels=10 channel_map=left,right,aux0,aux1,aux2,aux3,aux4,aux5,aux6,aux7 pactl load-module module-alsa-source source_name=delta_in device=hw:M66 format=s24le channels=12 channel_map=left,right,aux0,aux1,aux2,aux3,aux4,aux5,aux6,aux7,aux8,aux9 the pactl lines are one line each with no wrapping Now what I'd like to do is remap so the first two channel are aux0 & aux1, so audio is routed in on aux0 and aux1 by default. Does PA always take the first two channels no matter what, or could I do something like channel_map=aux0,aux1,left,right,aux2,aux3....etc so the used channels are aux0 & aux1 Thanks -- -- Best wishes / 73 Richard Bown e-mail: richard at g8jvm.com Mail now hosted by SimplyMailSolutions Please avoid using old e-mail address of richard.bown at blueyonder.co.uk nil carborundum a illegitemis ################################################################################## Ham Call G8JVM .
