Michael, I re-compiled alsa-driver with the ens-1370 and then loaded the module succesfully...i just need to play around with the devfs to get the 2nd mixer and dsp nodes workingI'm not in a mad hurry to make it workbut I will make sure of it.

Re: [gentoo-user] multiple snd cards
Hey Rick, Where is your Linux spirit! Where there is a will there is a wayif you have time of course.the alsa documentation explicity talks about having multiple sound cards and multiple dsp devices and so forthanother post to this thread showed how it has worked in practice True that pro-audio support is not mature and that some of the mixing software that you find abound in windoze world is not mirrored in such a polished form in linux ...but a program that I have just begun to use called bpmdj shows some promise in feeding two cards. So all i think i need to do know is hit that ens-137x with the right driver and it should be all good.

Recently I had to use a temp motherboard while my real one was getting fixed. It had built-in sound. So, I decided to use built-in sound in addition to my Soundblaster 128. It was quite possible. /dev/dsp referred to the onboard sound, and /dev/dsp1 and /dev/dsp2 referred to the Soundblaster. Of course, the on board sound was so crappy, I stopped using it. I don't know if it's similar under ALSA as it was under OSS, though I've had luck with sending things to /dev/sound/adsp. -- Marshal Newrock, unemployed Linux user in Lansing, MI Caution: Product will be hot after heating -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Ah yes, would you tell this my pc please? It refuses to stop working with my two soundcards (sb16 using ens1371 + EWS88MT using ice1712). Why shouldn't this work anyway? I'd suggest to use the snd-ens1370-driver for the ens1370-card ;-) HTH Michael -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Typically, if you need more capabilities than your existing sound card provides, you buy a better card. I think you would be better looking for a software based solution - but I don't fancy your chances of it being Linux based, pro audio is another one of those poorly supported areas.
