Thanks for the tip, but I already have

inputs.cd=128,128
inputs.cd.mute=off
inputs.cd.swap=off
outputs.cd.mute=off

ah - maype inputs.line=0,0 is the culprit - will try..

inputs.line=0,0
inputs.line.mute=off
inputs.line.swap=off
outputs.line.mute=off
inputs.input=128,128
outputs.output=128,128

Happy New Year,

Patrick
