Tried this one too but still no luck. Not one single message in dmesg
or /var/log/messages that looks like an error
I think I'll forget about computer music for a week or so and actually
play some music in my spare time again.... rather than computing at
work and home... Nevermind, I guess I'll get back to it in a while
and check the hardware/software then ;-)
Thanks again!!
Cheers
