Re: alsa wants to use my gpu..!

Thanks guys.. Went with the 2i4 in the end, found a new one for a decent price.. The plot sickens though.. Even though I have no sound at the moment, I decided to spend a couple of hours looking around KXstudio but hey, nothing works.. I mean absolutely nothing works, at all..! Every single thing I ...

Re: Hi all.. just moved from microsoftland..

Hi tavasti..

Am learning quickly that usb is the way to go, my needs are similar to yours and not looking for a pro, just a reasonable setup.. Have popped a post of the main forum and am hoping for a bit of advice there but thanks for the 4.08 cents worth..!!

Hi.. Only took several hours of research, but sort of got there in the end.. Managed to change the default device to the right one, created the etc/asound.conf file so it booted up correctly (quite proud of myself, woulda run back to Wincrap a few years ago) so the mixer now shows the correct device...

So here I am, shiny new build ...
