			Under LinuxMCE 0810 it may be necessary to downgrade Alsa in order for the device to appear (in 'aplay -l' or 'squeezeslave -L'). Be aware that downgrading alsa will remove audio over hdmi capabilities on the affected computer.

			==Troubleshooting==

			If you use a USB audio card and squeezeslave gives you an error, try the following

			First of all make sure you are running the latest version.

			Edit your /etc/asound.conf and add the following

			<pre>pcm.usb_analog {
			type asym
			playback.pcm "plug:dmix:1"
			capture.pcm "plughw:1"
			}</pre>

			After this restart alsa

			/etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart

			check your alsamixer to make sure pcm is unmuted and on a good level

			Try squeezeslave again
