Most likely because the mia usb sound card is just not being found. If you type "echomixer" into the shell as your normal user ID then it probably, maybe, would have immediately quit (did nothing) but it also may have indicated there is no mia device. > :~$ aplay -l > **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** > card 0: SI7012 [SiS SI7012], device 0: Intel ICH [SiS SI7012] > Subdevices: 0/1 > Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 However this shows that the mia USB device is simply not there so there is no point continuing with echomixer until this is resolved. I think the driver not loading may have something to do with needing firmware to be loaded into the USB device before it becomes usable. There are various firmware package versions here... ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/firmware/ use this to find out exactly what alsa version you have... cat /proc/asound/version All I can suggest now is more Googling in the hope of finding a precise article or posting about ubuntu and mia. I wrote some instructions for my Tascam US-122 here about a year ago that shows what I needed to do for that device, may be useful as a hint what to do next... http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Tascam_US-122 --markc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
