I don't know why it's working. I just hope the next update won't break that!<br><br>So "-sounddev 2" should work for my card showing up as card 1 ? Incidentally, there are only two pages that I know of on the web explaining how to use start-up flags in the command line (<a href="http://en.flossmanuals.net/pure-data/getting-started/starting/" target="_blank">http://en.flossmanuals.net/pure-data/getting-started/starting/</a> and <a href="http://puredata.info/docs/faq/commandline" target="_blank">http://puredata.info/docs/faq/commandline</a>). None of them mention "-soundev". Is this a new flag ? <br>
Unless there's a better place on the web to learn about start-up flags, i think it would be a good idea to provide more details on the community website. I always find it frustrating when i have to spend a lot of time figuring out how to use a command line program just because i don't know the syntax of the arguments.<br>

That's great (and surprising) news... I wonder why you're getting a better<br>
ride from teh E-MU box than I am from the iMic but it sounds as if I should<br>
be digging up one like yours to try.<br>
<br>
I think you can just invoke 'pd -sounddev 2' to select the USB device.<br>
<br>
cheers<br>
