The vu-meters have slider controls and mute buttons and L/R gang. These affect only the digital mixer, so unmuting and setting the sliders up will result vu-movement in the digital mixer meters. And if your patchbay has HW Out set to digital mixer, you should hear it also. This way you can hear input and output simultaneously (if you have unmuted the hw inputs also) 1010LT has also pre-amplifier for each input. > > > should my patchbay have more than five columns? besides HW out, all the rest > > > are S/PDIF, so i don't see how to access PCM out 1-8 and HW in 3-8. > > > > propably a misconfiguration here.

But I think I gave wrong answers earlier. The patchbay should show only outputs columns, not inputs.

Mixer has 8 PCM Outs, 8 H/W Ins,S/PDIF In L and S/PDIF In R http://www.hut.fi/u/tuimonen/mixer.png The vu-meters show what really happens in those Outs and Ins, and as I said, the controls only affect the Digital Mixer. > maximum inputs is indeed 8 (again, analog signal comes in on 1/2). Strange, 1010LT has 8 inputs, so you should see all and get input on all channels if you have signals coming to them. > > Are you sure you have clean install of alsa?
