So that only leaves you with OSS and bits/pieces of Pulse as well as Port Audio. To be perfectly honest, I don't think anyone could help you sort this out. I would suspect that you have a system audio event as the suspect in this case. > This however stops me running the binaries as port audio is needed. > I do have a second PCI sound card as well as the on-board sound. > As I now have the signaLink usb the second card is not actually needed > for fldigi use but is a nice to have for VoIP etc. What card is VoIP using or looking for ?

Look in the messages in Sept. 07 and it should be a reply to the lsit from Hamish. The method used to select a sound card in fldigi has changed since that time and is really a moot point. > So if anyone has that info plus a simple instruction set on how to set > up pulse audio on Ubuntu for use with fldigi I will give it a try. I wouldn't use Pulse with fldigi unless I had no other choice. Port Audio plays best with fldigi.
