What can I do about installing maybe a usb audio driver for my audiogram 3? Can I get a different driver for wine? This is ableton live we are talking about, and I haven't gotten any sound out of it yet. In Windows with Ableton Live you would be using the ASIO driver (which is designed for low latency), so in Linux you will want to look at using WineASIO + Jack-audio-connection-kit (Jack being a low latency sound-server). WineASIO effectively allows you to use the ASIO driver, but it will route Ableton Live's audio outputs into Jack. I doubt ALSA will give you good performance, and i can't remember if Ableton sees alsa directly or not. you probably better off with wineASIO/jack. >From what i remember of using Live in Linux a couple of years ago, the setup can be a bit of a pain and your mileage will vary. ie: don't have the expectation that it will run the same or better than in Windows or MacOSX. WineASIO link; http://sourceforge.net/projects/wineasio/ you will also need to get the ASIO SDK from steinberg to compile wineASIO (i don't have a link off hand, google it). and this guide although geared towards setting up Reaper in wine, has a section on compiling and installing WineASIO. this site is somewhat dated, but the compilation is pretty much the same http://www.davehayes.org/2007/04/27/howto-reaper-on-ubuntu-linux-with-wineasio info on Jack-audio-connection-kit (although you should be able to install jack with your disto's package manager) http://www.jackaudio.org going back to my point on 'your milage will vary', have a look at wine's Application DataBase on Ableton; http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?bIsQueue=false&bIsRejected=false&sClass=vendor&iId=2619&sAction=view&sTitle=View+Developer as you can see, you may or may not get it to run very well. cheerz
