Hi list, It is 2 sound cards into my box, the in-build as first sound card and an audiophile 192 as second sound card (index=1). I get the following with amixer: amixer -c 1 Simple mixer control 'PCM',0 Capabilities: pvolume Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Playback 0 - 127 Mono: Front Left: Playback 127 [100%] [0.00dB] Front Right: Playback 127 [100%] [0.00dB] Simple mixer control 'IEC958',0 Capabilities: penum Items: 'PCM Out' 'H/W In 0' 'H/W In 1' 'IEC958 In L' 'IEC958 In R' Item0: 'PCM Out' Simple mixer control 'IEC958 Output',0 Capabilities: pswitch pswitch-joined Playback channels: Mono Mono: Playback [off] Simple mixer control 'IEC958',1 Capabilities: penum Items: 'PCM Out' 'H/W In 0' 'H/W In 1' 'IEC958 In L' 'IEC958 In R' Item0: 'PCM Out' Simple mixer control 'Deemphasis',0 Capabilities: enum Items: '44.1kHz' 'Off' '48kHz' '32kHz' Item0: 'Off' Simple mixer control 'H/W',0 Capabilities: penum Items: 'PCM Out' 'H/W In 0' 'H/W In 1' 'IEC958 In L' 'IEC958 In R' Item0: 'PCM Out' Simple mixer control 'H/W',1 Capabilities: penum Items: 'PCM Out' 'H/W In 0' 'H/W In 1' 'IEC958 In L' 'IEC958 In R' Item0: 'PCM Out' Simple mixer control 'Multi Track Internal Clock',0 Capabilities: enum Items: '8000' '9600' '11025' '12000' '16000' '22050' '24000' '32000' '44100' '48000' '64000' '88200' '96000' '176400' '192000' 'IEC958 Input' Item0: '48000' Simple mixer control 'Multi Track Peak',0 Capabilities: volume Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right - Rear Left - Rear Right - Front Center - Woofer - Side Left - Side Right - Rear Center - ? - ? - ? - ? - ? - ? - ? - ? - ? - ? - ? - ? - ?

The number of playback and capture channels into is also wrong. This card do have only 2 mono inputs (in left and in right) and 4 mono outputs (out left and right, and monitor out left and right). In alsa documentation (ALSA-Configuration.txt), it is a model option for the ice1724 module but no model string for the audiophile 192). I try with and without the following string into /etc/modprobe.d/alsa: options snd-ice1724 model=audiophile but get the same result with amixer and alsamixer. Last issue is that amixer, as well than alsamixer does show only one pcm output volume control. It control the 4 output ports. With jackd, I can get only 2 playback ports. The 2 monitor playback ports are missing and they also get the same signal than the 2 main playback ports. Is it possible, at least with jack, to separate the main playback ports from the monitor playback ports? I guess that it will imply to get separated controls at the alsa level, but how? Last, is it possible to do software routing of the outputs/inputs like in windows or mac with this card?
