-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 arts should be avoided. Most apps now support Alsa directly anyway. I thought that arts died years ago? With ALSA a part of the stock 2.6 kernel there was no need for arts anymore.
Have you tried this device with Kubuntu live CD? I have not honestly touched Mandriva/Mandrake since the 90's, so it is safe to say that I am a little out of touch. I made the above suggestion since I have no problems with my USB sound card and kmix under Kubuntu (Edgy or Feisty). There have been a lot of changes under the hood in the last couple of years with all the systems that could potentially be the root of your problem. UDEV should be driving the autoconfig scripts, though on an older system it could be a hotplug daemon or something the distro custom built. Out of curiosity, what kernel version is this (uname -a)? bogi wrote: > Hi > I have seen this behavior in kde 3.4.2 (Mandriva Linux release 2006.0 > (Official) for i586) I know it is old, but i also see it in Mandriva 2007.1 > > So here are the beans: > > Kmix fails to find , pick up , a USB sound card, even when the USB device is > left in the socket during boot.
