Hello everyone, I just subscribed to this list, because my new sound card is badly supported. It's a Fortissimo 4 from Hercules/Guillemot (ICE1724/Envy24HT chipset). Here are the issues I experienced. (Note: I use 5.1 analogic output.) * No hardware mixer support * No volume control (nor master neither per-channel) * Only Front Left and Front Right speakers produce expected sound. Other channels play heavy noise... unless I start a Windows session before booting Linux. * Some channel mappings are switched. I corrected it in my asound.conf. * No envy24control (is it supposed to work with ICE1724 ?) * Doesn't work at all with apps like "Enemy Territory" or Wine (OSS? mmap?). I usually use a Debian Etch. But in order to test latest ALSA, I installed a Gentoo 2006.1 with ALSA outside the kernel. I also use the nForce4 sound chipset as intel8x0 ; it doesn't seem to interfere. I tried several model=xxx options when loading module. Some of them gave me access to switch on/off channels, but nothing more. I read some earlier posts about this card and tried the patch from Elie Morisse to get volume control. I can then control master volume. I am ready to test new patches, if necessary. ;) I'll probably add some notes in bug tracker (http://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=1556 and http://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=896 ). I hope it will help. I attach my (reworked) asound.conf, in case someone will find it useful. -- François Seguin
