[ICE1712 - M Audio Audiophile 24/96, playback] No sound at all

[Brad Ritchie]

Crash report listed Totem as having been stopped. I was not running movie player. Please try to follow this. I had no sound from m-audio 2496 using ice1712 module , no sound issue for seven months now. My son installed a flash update to the BIOS to make it a dual boot uefi bios, and after rebooting Ubuntu 12.10 the m-audio card came up as installed, listed everywhere, and sound even WORKED for awhile. I played an internet radio station and audacious played again until I rebooted. Then audacious crashed, with "Alsa error "snd_pcm_open failed: Invalid argument." Too bad it took seven months of messing around with this only to have it work for me for ten minutes. I don't even mind that the BIOS flash wiped out Win7 completely, I was hoping that Ubuntu would finally work for me and was overjoyed when it worked for a short while.
using Ubuntu 12.10.

I have seen others with this issue with M-audio card, Giga GA-z68ap-d3 motherboard and the Nvidia video cards. There was a breakthrough for awhile using the dual-boot bios, this became available for some of the gigabyte cards only recently. I now suspect issue is with nvidia card and PCM settings somewhere. I do not believe it is a volume issue as it was working yesterday.

I #remmed the line "options snd-hda-intel model=generic" from /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf.
Cold boot, and m-audio card now shows up as Number 0 in the alsamixer. Clear progress. Tried to download a .pls file and play in audaciuos and I can see signal levels in the audacious window, but the program returns "ALSA error snd_mixer_find_selem failed. " Closer yet but no sound. I remember when the card worked, it was in default position # 0 in ALSAMIXER, the way it now is. It came up in Mudita24 as m-audio 2496 but does not do so now. Very close. Dual boot uefi BIOS lists onboard audio as disabled.

on boot I get kvm: disabled by bios, occurs four or five times

[Raymond (superquad-vortex2)]

it seem that pulseaudio no longer support ice1712 after the introduction of profile of multi channels since the name of the volume controls are not standard name and the number of playback and capture are 10/12

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/commit/?id=078a39af886ea3bb590595b973343af77c2837fe

if the thinkpad_acpi card can be ignored by modifying ENV{PULSE_IGNORE}="1" in 90-pulseaudio.rules

this may mean that you can add an entry to ignore your m-audio card and you can run Jack server with your ice1712

is there any reason for you to disable the onboard sound ? (seem to be a realtek codec according to the specification of the mothboard)

[Brad Ritchie (beefrd)]

Onboard sound disabled because M-audio provides MIDI in/out and handling
from the card. Onboard audio does not. Suggest other card that has MIDI
handling with 2 in/2 out and I'd get it. Creative had one but it was only
stage one, I have been unhappy with Creative since they lied about
Vista-compatible drivers. Also Creative MIDI card is out of production.
Tried UEFI and it does not work on my computer, I have to reflash BIOS for
MBR setup. Back to square one. Suggestions welcome.

Why would Ubuntu studio work so well without MIDI capabilities? Why bother?
Wouldn't we call it Ubuntu Not Really a Studio?

M-audio 2496 card is
24-bit/96kHz digital audio card,S/PDIF digital I/O with PCM and AC-3/DTS
passthrough,
1 x 1 MIDI I/O
2496 Minimum System Requirements (PC) Windows 98SE / Me / 2000 (SP4) / XP
(SP2)* / Vista SP2 (32Bit , 64 Bit) / Win7 (32Bit , 64 Bit)For 96kHz
operation: Pentium III 500mHz w/ 128MB RAMFor 48kHz operation: Pentium II
400 w/ 64MB RAMI am using Gigabyte GA-Z68AP-D3 ver.2 motherboard. CPU is
i7-2700K 3.50ghz, 8mb Cache, LGA1155,95W.

I have also noted these effects are present on the m-audio 1010 card, 8 x 8
analog I/0, also with digital I/O with PCM and AC-3/DTS pass-through. If
we can get this ironed out, this would be my next choice for upgrade card
but for similar issues reported by others that I noted in my search.
Thanks.

this mean bug of pulseaudio if 32 bits is not supported by hardware

( 0.058| 0.000) I: [pulseaudio] alsa-util.c: Device front:0 doesn't support sample format s16le, changed to s32le.

[Raymond (superquad-vortex2)]

but pulseaudio does not support MIDI too

SUBSYSTEMS=="platform", DRIVERS=="thinkpad_acpi", ENV{PULSE_IGNORE}="1"

ATTRS{subsystem_vendor}=="0x1412", ATTRS{subsystem_device}=="0xd634", ENV{PULSE_IGNORE}="1"

enable the on board sound card since your HDMI have no capture device for pulseaudio

use jackd
