You don't need to do anything. Two of my sound cards are ice1712 and I didn't configure anything, but they are detected. OTOH those cards are PCI cards. Anyway, to see if your USB card is detected you e.g. can run $ hwinfo --usb Then you should get something like [snip] Vendor: usb 0x0944 "KORG, Inc." Device: usb 0x010f "nanoKONTROL" Revision: "1.00" Driver: "snd-usb-audio" Driver Modules: "snd_usb_audio" [snip] Of cause, here it's not an USB ICE1712 device. What happens if you run envy24control? FWIW on my Arch alsa-tools-ice1712 isn't, but alsa-tools is installed. - Ralf [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Advanced_Linux_Sound_Architecture
