The RME cards makes this quite easy, because you can slave the second card's clock from the first card using the wordclock connections. Joining the cards in Jack is not hard: See the section on "Virtual multi channel devices" The cards then behaves as one ALSA device, which you can access as one massive device in Jack. Just be sure to use the wordclock, as sync problems can cause havoc in jack (Read: Hundreds of X-Runs) Your new system sounds like a scorcher. Let us know if you got it going! Cheers, Quentin

HI Quentin Got is sorted I used synaptic to load some nvidia-glx envy and that seemed to rewrite the xorg thing, a 22" screen at 800x600 is no joke! I got a basic pci express thing G force 6400 GT. Do you know of any way to join the two RME cards so ardour/Jack just see one card? Cheers Bob Ps looking nice now by the way

Moving on!!

OK 3 hard drives with different os's started to confuse me So reformat here I come. I have installed beta 3, as 2.1 doesn't like my Nic, which seems to bring the install to a stop. Should make booting less painless. Just got to find which sound card of the to gets picked up first! Cheers Bob
