Comment 137 for bug 178442

Any chance of an idiot's guide for how to apply this patch?

I've just put ubuntu 10.04 i686 desktop on my computer and need to get my m-audio audiophile 2496 working via the analogue in/outputs. System / Prefs / Sound shows the ICE1712 controller, but only lists the Digital IEC958 options in the profile chooser.

I've downloaded the .patch file mentioned from the PulseAudio ticket but am a bit baffled as to what exactly to do with it, even after a fair bit of googling. I'm fairly new to linux, but not afraid to have a go.... but I'm struggling a bit here.

First, I tried running:

stoo@stoo-ubu:~/Downloads$ patch < pulseaudio-add-profile-sets-for-M_Audio-Audiophile-2496.patch
patching file 90-pulseaudio.rules
Hunk #1 FAILED at 25.
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file 90-pulseaudio.rules.rej
patching file m_audio-audiophile-2496.conf

which dumped 3 files in my Downloads folder

Next I tried:

root@stoo-ubu:/lib/udev/rules.d# patch < /home/stoo/Downloads/pulseaudio-add-profile-sets-for-M_Audio-Audiophile-2496.patch
patching file 90-pulseaudio.rules
Hunk #1 FAILED at 25.
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file 90-pulseaudio.rules.rej
patching file m_audio-audiophile-2496.conf

I appreciate I've probably done something monumentally stupid, but I'd really appreciate it if someone could guide me in the right direction a bit.

Cheers, stoo
