Hi, It would be nice if you could cherry-pick this one-line patch for Karmic: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound-2.6.git;a=commit;h=bd3c200e6d5495343c91db66d2acf1853b57a141 It will make sure Pulseaudio starts both input streams on startup correctly. The corresponding bug is in LP: #441446. // David
