I think I'm being stupid, but I can't work out what I'm doing wrong. I have a built in soundcard that works fine, and an external USB device (Edirol UA-3FX). The USB device seems to be recognized and Yast is willing to send "test" sound to it. However, Yast doesn't seem to know there's the possiblity of input from it, and none of they sound utilities I've tried (audacity, aplay/arecord, play/record) are able to drive it. All these programs complain that they're unable to "set 8 bit sample" or 16 bit sample. This device, I believe, does 24 bit. Audacity doesn't allow me a list of devices, I have to relink /dev/dsp to /dev/dsp1 and then it complains that it can't set the necessary sample rates. What should I be doing?
