Thanks a lot, that was exactly it. I was using the fix drz suggested

(the options… thing in asound.conf) and that didn't work. But the

simple ctl.dmixer block did the trick.

I am so far very contented with the Blackjack, it's just dead simple

to use. Have to test real recording yet (only digitised some old

cassettes so far), but I expect the sound quality to be really good

(for that low price anyway).
