Rivendell takes over a sound card, so you can't use it for anything else at the same time. This is by design. If you want to run Rivendell and Audacity on the same computer, you need to install another sound card. You also need to configure the boot sequence to make sure the two cards you have are properly assigned. The boot files need to specify explicitly that the one used for Audacity is always "card 0" and the one used for Rivendell is "card 1". Assuming you are using Pulse-audio (usually the default) you need to make sure that Pulse is using the card not used by Rivendell. Sometimes (depending on your hardware) installing another sound card tells the boot rom to disable the built-in sound card. If you want to use the built-in card, you need to go into the boot rom and set it so both cards can be active. It has been a long time since I did this, so I don't have details handy. _______________________________________________ Rivendell-dev mailing list [email protected] http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
