Changed to 4 and changed the hw.snd.pcm0.vchans to 4 and a readout of "sysctl hw.snd" follows; hw.snd.targetirqrate: 32 hw.snd.report_soft_formats: 1 hw.snd.feeder_rate_ratemin: 4000 hw.snd.feeder_rate_ratemax: 1102500 hw.snd.feeder_rate_scaling: 5 hw.snd.feeder_rate_buffersize: 8192 hw.snd.verbose: 1 hw.snd.unit: 0 hw.snd.maxautovchans: 4 hw.snd.pcm0.buffersize: 16384 hw.snd.pcm0.vchans: 4 hw.snd.pcm0.vchanrate: 48000 > >Try to mute the device and then unmute it again (at least the GNOME >panel applet is able to mute/unmute a device, and I have to do the same >in Windows too when I want to use my uaudio device). How would I mute/unmute devices by using a widget in KDE or do you suggest changing to gnome, or is there a command line like "mixer pcm 0" or is the "push to mute" volume switch used. I had near success when I heard window like noises when I was playing with settings in KDE control centre but they went dead again and have been trying to recreate the settings but to no avail. Also is there any way of running at it Hi-speed becasue at the minute it's running at Full speed (12MB/s). Thank you for helping me. Bye, Christopher
