I'm now the proud owner of a Delta 1010LT. Unfortunately getting it to run on Linux is proving a chore. So far I've googled a big (maybe I'm a useless googler), and looked at the alsa-project website So from those things I figured I would do the following... modified my /etc/modules.d/alsa file to this _____________________________________________________ # Alsa 0.9.X kernel modules' configuration file. # $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/media-sound/alsa-driver/files/alsa-modules.conf-rc,v 1.1 2002/12/21 06:31:52 agenkin Exp $ # ALSA portion alias char-major-116 snd # OSS/Free portion alias char-major-14 soundcore ## ## IMPORTANT: ## You need to customise this section for your specific sound card(s) ## and then run `update-modules' command. ## Read alsa-driver's INSTALL file in /usr/share/doc for more info. ## ## ALSA portion alias snd-card-0 snd-ice1712 # OSS/Free portion - card #1 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss # Set this to the correct number of cards. options snd cards_limit=1 _________________________________________ Run the following command #modprobe snd-ice1712;modprobe snd-pcm-oss;modprobe snd-mixer-oss;modprobe snd-seq-oss ________________________________________ made a .asoundrc file with the following in it pcm.ice1712 { type hw card 0 } ctl.ice1712 { type hw card 0 } Simple version just so I can get some playback _______________________________________ I did the whole modules-update and restart of alsa (yes I'm using Gentoo) I get this error when I try to run aplay root@upstairs glenn # aplay -D ice1712 test.wav ALSA lib pcm.c:1972:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM ice1712 aplay: main:507: audio open error: No such file or directory _______________________________________ Basically I've just been trying to follow this http://alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=Midiman&card=Delta+1010-LT&chip=Envy24&module=ice1712#opt I was using a Soundblaster Live! and wanted a 1010LT with the purpose of doing live multitrack recording with Ardour. Please tell me I can do it because that was the main purpose of buying the card in the first place. Cheers for any direction pointing. Glenn
