I'm using debian sid, 2.4.19, alsa 0.9.6, and have my internal soundcard configured as soundcard0, my usb card as soundcard1. Internal sound works great, but when I try to play anything through the soundcard with 'aplay -plughw:1 sound.wav", I get the following error message: Alsa lib pcm_hw.c:494:(snd_pcm_hw_start) - SNDDRV_PCM_IOCTL_START Failed - Broken pipe. Any idea what the problem could be? I can't seem to get alsa working at all without the plughw option since it complains of invalid formats (according to /proc/asound/card1/stream0 the card accepts S16_LE and S24_LE). Any help would be much appreciated! best, Nick ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf
