No sound from M-Audio Delta 1010LT (ICE1712 chipset) on fresh Install Ubuntustudio 9.10, 10.04 (probably affects more than 8 soundcards / all soundcards running ICE1712 chipset)

[Mikael Thurberg]

Hi!

This is a dupcliate to bug #723820 Ive reported but posted a separate as i didnt know if thats supposed to do for Ubuntustudio.

I have installed Ubuntustudio 9.10 and also 10.04 fresh install. No sound from start with the soundcard M-Audio Delta 1010LT. No sound at all.

M-Audio uses a ICE1712 chipset.

Ive found after some search that several users report they cant use their soundcard from the start with various sondcards using the ICE1712 chipset.

Ive tried ubuntustudio 9.10, 10.04 but not 10.10 and they all have this problem, I hear no sound at all with ubuntustudio from fresh install.

I was near going back to Windows, when I heard about you could search for info on how to get it work.

What ive found and understand, all you have to do is change some values and it will work. So why not implement this from the beginning so it would work with a fresh install? Cant be to hard or to much to do?

Ive think the problem is ralated to the Envy24 control application or ALSA or Pulse audio? But im not sure.

Should I report this problem to the developers for Pulse audio / Alsa and Envy 24 or will they be informed by posting this bug also?

The following cards uses the ICE 1712 chipset as Ive understand:

MAudio Delta-1010 / 1010LT / 66 / 44 / 410, Audiophile 2496, Audiophile 192, Terratec EWS88.

(and some more?)

If this bug will be corrected: All 8 (!) soundcards will be fixed also as a sideproduct I think. But im 100% sure, but almost.

Also If this will be fixed, I think it will make the sound work on all Linux dists. that uses ICE1712 chipset and Pulse or ALSA audio (and thats a lot).

M-Audio is a well known brand. I personally would list soundcards as following as worst to better:

1) Included soundchipset on the motherboard
2) Soundblaster etc
3) M-Audio, Terratec etc
4) Digidesign, RME etc

So there is a lot of users using M-Audio Cards, especially for music production (not only me) as I think these are among the first brand users chooses to buy. So by fixing this in espeically Ubuntustudio, a lot of users could use Ubuntustudio.

How are you supposed to use Ubuntustudio to make music if no soundcards are supported?

I will post this bug as a separate for ubuntu as well so it could be fixed.

I could help as far as I can to fix / develop an solution to this problem.

With best regards
