Hello, Me again. I have an issue when I try to use radiousb. I am presently using simpleusb, no issues (other than the asl menu not working) when I try to use radiousb, i get no sound. I am using asl on a dell 3040. When I do the switchover settings in rpt and modules.conf then restart asterisk, the sound goes away. I cannot get into the radiousb\_tune\_menu either (is this the proper term?) I am using a cm108 fob. when I switch back to simpleusb I get my sound back. Thanks Mike ---

Check the device string numbers in usbradio\_tune\_usb\_xxxxxx.conf and see if it is a match for what you see from lsusb for your device ---

what does that setting do? I was experimenting and changing the device number didn’t seem to do anything. do I need to reset the whole node and not just asterisk? power off reboot, didn’t make any apparent change. ---

Tells the software where on the usb headers the device is physically located. Since you can have more than one node with same looking device, you need the exact device. If you move it, it will change. Run lsusb again to verify. Restart asterisk or reboot. ---

ok, if I understand this correctly then, if I configure as devstr= 1-2:1.0 and it works, then (without moving the device) try 1-3:1.0 it shouldn’t? but I still get audio. I’m scratching my head on that one Mike ---

did you restart asterisk ? if not you are still using the old entry.
