Greetings everyone, I'm writing to request assistance with getting my M-Audio Delta 44 (ICE1712) functioning under a fresh Gentoo installation. At first, I thought I had an issue with jackd, because I could not get it to start. I tried many configuration options, but typically got ALSA "poll time out" messages, then jackd would die. So, I decided to examine my ALSA installation more carefully. Today, I decided to see if I could just get a sound to play using aplay (from the command line without starting X11). What I notice is that aplay just freezes at some point while processing the input wav file. I get no sound, and I have to Ctlr-C to stop it. Here's an example: =========================================== $ aplay -vv /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Mono Plug PCM: Route conversion PCM (sformat=S32_LE) Transformation table: 0 <- 0 1 <- 0 2 <- 0 3 <- 0 4 <- 0 5 <- 0 6 <- 0 7 <- 0 8 <- 0 9 <- 0 Its setup is: stream : PLAYBACK access : RW_INTERLEAVED format : S16_LE subformat : STD channels : 1 rate : 48000 exact rate : 48000 (48000/1) msbits : 16 buffer_size : 6144 period_size : 1024 period_time : 21333 tstamp_mode : NONE period_step : 1 avail_min : 1024 period_event : 0 start_threshold : 6144 stop_threshold : 6144 silence_threshold: 0 silence_size : 0 boundary : 6917529027641081856 Slave: Direct Stream Mixing PCM Its setup is: stream : PLAYBACK access : MMAP_INTERLEAVED format : S32_LE subformat : STD channels : 10 rate : 48000 exact rate : 48000 (48000/1) msbits : 24 buffer_size : 6144 period_size : 1024 period_time : 21333 tstamp_mode : NONE period_step : 1 avail_min : 1024 period_event : 0 start_threshold : 6144 stop_threshold : 6144 silence_threshold: 0 silence_size : 0 boundary : 6917529027641081856 Hardware PCM card 0 'M Audio Delta 44' device 0 subdevice 0 Its setup is: stream : PLAYBACK access : MMAP_INTERLEAVED format : S32_LE subformat : STD channels : 10 rate : 48000 exact rate : 48000 (48000/1) msbits : 24 buffer_size : 6553 period_size : 1024 period_time : 21333 tstamp_mode : ENABLE period_step : 1 avail_min : 1024 period_event : 0 start_threshold : 1 stop_threshold : 7378022089539715072 silence_threshold: 0 silence_size : 7378022089539715072 boundary : 7378022089539715072 appl_ptr : 0 hw_ptr : 0 ########################+ | 46%^C Aborted by signal Interrupt... ================================================== You'll notice in this example that it has frozen at the 46% mark. Other files may stop at different points. All indications (aplay, lspci, /proc/asound, alsamixer, etc.) are that the card is being recognized, and that the associated kernel module is loaded. I've tried a number of sites for answers including: http://alsa.opensrc.org/TroubleShooting http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-ice1712 http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml ... and countless forum posts I have run alsa-info, and the result can be seen here: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=0703a7d0bd8da7a7b4bc387e107900acd0674a7b I would greatly appreciate hearing from anyone with information about further testing or configuration.
