Hi Wayne, Thanks - I have resolved this, and it was a weird one. The Delta 44 has various options for where it gets its sync, and in alsamixer the settings are not always that obvious, it looks like it had lost some of the settings, as the sync was set to auto, I changed this to internal. When I played something in Rivendell, things seemed happier the VU's bounced and it looked like it was ok, however still no sound. This was resolved by [trial and error] but ultimately changing the 4 outputs to 'PCM'. So not sure what screwed the settings but I'm glad I got it going again.
Nathan, I agree that having a web browser on dedicated playout is not good, and normally a live machine would not even have 'net access, this is my scratch machine which I use for demo's, also if I get stuck I can quickly google my way out of it. Currently I am working with a station that are about to renew their playout, running an old ENCO version now, and I am lending this machine to them so they can gets some hands on with Rivendell, one thing they are keen to do is VT, and I think Rivendell VT support is really good and easy to use. Hopefully VT from the 'net will happen one day as well!

Linux doesn't like to share sound cards. Has pulse audio been installed as part of chrome? Alternately if you reboot does the delta work until you load chrome?

To the point, I am running the RRabuntu version of Rivendell, I installed it off of the installable CD, my machine has 2 soundcards, 1 is built in, Intel, and a Delta 44. Both were working fine, I used the Intel for the sound panel and the audition /cue and the Delta for main playout and VT record. Recently installed chrome on the box, and since then (it's the only change I can come up with) the Intel card works fine, but the Delta 44 doesn't. It is recognised, and appears in alsamixer, it appears in rdalsaconfig, to all intents the card exists and is loaded, but when you try and play something to it, no sound comes out and the VU / level meters either show no audio or are stuck EG at -20. During this I can fire off sound panel to the intel no trouble and the VU's are fine, then when they revert to the main log output, they are locked again. I tried moving the card into different slots no change, I tested the card in a windows box, no problem, so it looks like a linux issue, and perhaps a resource conflict, but as the only change was installing Chrome, not sure what it can of done! Other than wipe and reinstall, does anyone have any suggestions?
