See: http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntustudio-test...@lists.launchpad.net/msg00351.html I had the same issue with Suse 11.2 and I could solve it by adding those two lines for Suse 11.2 too. @ Pablo: Thank you, thank you, thank you Pablo :) @ anybody who is pro PA: PA for rt audio users is a PITA. It might have advantages for the averaged desktop user, but we should get rid of it for rt audio distros. As I told before, until now I prefer 64 Studio, it's based on Ubuntu, but ships without PA by default, hence using flashplayer without JACK support and JACK at the same time is no problem. While Suse isn't important for me, Ubuntu Studio is very interesting for my needs. There might be reasons to come with PA by default, but if so, the distro should take care of those two lines in /usr/share/alsa/cards/ICE1712.conf. I wonder if it's easy to get rid of PA, when building dummy packages by equivs, to keep package dependencies consistent and what needs to be set up in addition?! Man, Envy24 cards are very common, because they are the most cheap rt capable cards, no distro should have issues when using those cards. Btw. there will come a successor for envy24control soon, maybe there already is a successor, I didn't lurk LAD the last weeks. For Suse only I'm running the first version + a manual edit of it's successor and it's still named envy24control, but AFAIR the renamed it. Cheers!

I wonder what will happen, if I make my 2 Terratec EWX 24/96 cards 1 virtual card, anyway, today I just tested to get 1 of the 2 cards ready to work.

I don't have those issues with 64 Studio 3.0 beta (Hardy) and 3.3 alpha (Karmic) amd64. I'm still in a production with recordings Achim and I made, so there's no time to fix Ubuntu Studio right now. I'm doing the production using 64 Studio 3.3 alpha and even if the software works without issues, it's still tricky and time consuming and there always is the risk of a crash, so I can't use Linux for recording Achim and friends or other serious musicians who are short in time, only if there's a lot of time, it can be used for post processing. IMO for Ubuntu Studio it would help to remove desktop stuff like PA from the distro. This and next month Achim does some concerts in Germany, http://achimjaroschek.com/, certainly I'll be at the concerts in the Ruhrgebiet.
