Hello, I am brand new to ALSA and am having some difficulty getting my echoaudio layla20 soundcard working in Ubuntu Studio. I have installed ALSA drivers version 1.0.14 and configured with cards=layla20, with isapnp=off, with debug=detect The ALSA configure, make and make install all proceed without errors. I have added a line at the end of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base to make sure it is loaded at boot. I can see the hostcard with lspci on irq 5 aplay -l shows no soundcards Looking at /var/log/messages I can see the layla20 initialization and a few errors: /echoaudio.c:44: firmware requested: layla20_dsp.fw /echoaudio.c:47: get_firmware(): Firmware not available (-2) /echoaudio.c:1997: init_hw err=-2 I cannot find the layla firmware cited above (layla20_dsp.fw) on my system at all. I see that the ALSA configure has options to include firmware for other devices, but my layla is not mentioned. Am I missing a firmware file or is this retrieved from the unit during initialization and created? At this point I cannot discriminate between a hardware failure, and an incorrect installation of the ALSA driver for the layla20. This equipment has not had any problems during its previous use, though it has been in storage for a while. Thank you very much for the drivers and system and any help you can provide! -Jonathan Leonard ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
