Try: speaker-test -c 2 -D hw:0 where hw:# is the number of your card as it shows in /proc/asound/cards. snd-ice1712 is the driver. With a Delta 44 myself. Pulse-audio doesn't play nice with it, so disable that if reasonable. Most apps I use interface with alsa or jackd directly, so I just leave pulse audio as it came with ubuntu. Semi working, but mostly annoying. Complete with re-indexing the alsa drivers so that ice1712 is card 0 to get it working initially. Even if pauvcontrol says my only output option is dummy out or HDMI out from my video card (snd-hda-intel). But probably not your issue, so I'll stop rambling. - James On 4/2/11, James P.
