Missing analog output with M-audio audiophile 2496 (ICE1712)

[System->Prefs-> fails to open "Sound" with reaport "Waiting for sound system to respond" and it fails, my analogue output works fine!. It just depends on days and update.
I'll keep on rocking. Hopefully tomorrow too.

System->Prefs->Sound gives only options to digital output with audiophile 2496.
"Aplay -L" gives this:

Hello,
in order to slove this problem I applied this patch to the following file : /usr/share/alsa/cards/ICE1712.conf

In the PCM.FRONT section I added two config lines :
slave.format S32_LE
        slave.channels 10

So, my pcm.front section looks like :

CE1712.pcm.front.0 {
 @args [ CARD ]
 @args.CARD {
  type string
 }
 type route
 ttable.0.0 1
 ttable.1.1 1
 slave.pcm {
  type hw
  card $CARD
 }
        slave.format S32_LE
        slave.channels 10
}

Then , in the module option I added the rank of the sound card :

options snd-ice1712 model=audiophile index=0

I don't know if that option is required.

Now my sound cark works perfectly

Regards

Duplicate of bug #178442?

[mitch (mitch-lloyd)]

I don't think this is a duplicate of bug #178442 as (for me) the soundcard gets initialized but the analog option doesn't show up in sound preferences until using the fix shown in comment #2.

I just ran into this problem again (I have a Delta-66 using ICE1712) on a fresh install of Lucid. Could this fix be included in the distro?

[Mikko Eley (mikko-eley)]

I can confirm that the analogue output does not appear in sound preferences unless I use the fix above. But there are no analogue inputs listed either. I'm running Lucid and using a M-Audio 24/96 Audiophile card. With the fix listed added to the ice1712.conf file I can get juddering white noise but that may be me setting up the card wrong in Envy24 control panel and may be another problem.

Whatever my sound problems the sound preference definitely does not see all the options of the 24/96 card even with this fix. My struggle with getting it to work continue.

I just installed a Delta-44 using the ICE1712 ALSA driver in my machine running Lucid. I had to use the fix in comment #2 to get audio out of my sound card. It would be nice to see this fix included in the distro. Thanks!
