No Sound or outputs M-Audio Delta 44 ICE1712

[dednikko]

I am running the KK RC1 Live cd, and have been trying to get audio but can't seem to. Here are the fishy bits;

I have an M-Audio Delta 44 pci soundcard with breakaway box. This system works just fine in 9.04 and 8.10.
In Sound Preferences, the card is listed as ICE1712 PCI Multi-Channel I/O controller. Only 1 input shows, and the output is set to a dummy out. There are no other profiles to select from, and the card is listed properly in the testing program, but is still silent.

Okay i have some more details that may help. In Kubuntu 9.10, i had success in getting audio playback with no issues, both online flash video with audio and .wav format audio files. Fedora 11 worked fine (also gave me a popup letting me know my old hdd is on it's last legs which was helpful) but the fedora 12 beta seems to be lacking the proper driver support as well, so maybe it's a kernel issue? is kubuntu using any legacy kernel bits to keep KDE compatibility? Entirely conjecture there, but if so that might explain why it's handling the audio correctly...

Any success in getting the M-audio Delta 44, 66, or 1010 sound cards to function? In Jaunty the kernel recognizes the card and assigns the ICE1712 driver which works great. In Karmic, It assign the IEC 958 driver, which shows a single input and uses a null output,IE songs will appear to play back, with no sound. I am really missing the graphical sound test scheme on the volume control properties page now, as in the past it would allow you to switch between PullseAudio, OSS, and ALSA, and ALSA s what i am used to using, but now i can't even figure out how to make sure it defaulted to ALSA. Ergh.

I can confirm this with Delta 66. Kubuntu 9.10 AMD64 RC works just fine - Ubuntu 9.10 AMD64 RC - no sound at all.

bug confirmed on my m-audio delta 44 (ice1712)

it's disapointing... this card has open source drivers by nature....

cant help more... noob here....

[Sarraceno (jfhtomas)]

guys!
Try "sudo alsa force-reload", for me did worked... and comment you results, pls.

[dednikko (dednikko)]

I went ahead and installed KK and tried as you said, no luck. Is there a tool to switch drivers in ubuntu so that i can manually select the ICE1712 driver that was working for me in JJ?

I nearly had a heart attack a moment ago, when I managed to get sound output on my M-Audio Delta 24/96 ... It can be done with Envy24Control which you'll find in the package alsa-tools-gui (of course you'll need to install that one first).
Here's what you do after starting Envy24 Control:
- Select the tab "Monitor PCMs"
- Turn the volume up everywhere
- Select the tab "Patchbay / Router"
- Select the combo boxes labeled with "Digital Mix [...]"

I hope that will solve the problem for you as well...

p.s.: I hope my english is comprehensible (I am just a student from Germany...)

Okay i have some more news to report. I installed ubuntu studio 9.10 and can now add that while almost no applications get sound, jack based applications do. i am running ardour gtk and while the sound and effects all function, some of the important features do not. the mute button no longer functions at all, even though ardour shows that there are no levels in any track or bus, i can still hear the audio loud and clear. kudos to ardour for having the ONE functioning application. still not fully functional, no youtube sound, no rhythmbox sound. i might install amarok and see if the kde apps just work, or if i need to rebuild kubuntu with a realtime kernel to get full audio functionality.

I would like to thank skilledwolf for helping get the audio I do have up and running. I normally just use the per application mixers, so thank you very much for your help, and yes, your English is very clear and comprehensible.

Hi Guys!!

Excuse my poor English.

After days trying everything to solve my problem with a Delta 1010LT audio, I got the solution:

Decided

As if it was useful to someone (I hope), my problem was solved by Hispasonic-Guitman on from here my heartfelt gratitude

 "The solution has been to uninstall all that " smell " to pulseaudio.

As simple... WORKSSSS !!!!!!

Again, Thanks Guitman.
