Hi pettifoggery, I can't explain your USB experience. I only have 3 USB Audio devices I use for testing and of course they all work! I don't have to do any ALSA or [Tweaks] settings. It only takes 10 minutes to get them going which includes downloading and burning SD card. They are so many variables though, and you would hope the "U" really meant "universal". Anybody else having USB DAC issues with pCP? We are fortunate to have heaps of software options! regards Greg ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Greg Erskine's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7403 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110642 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
