OK, that makes sense, thanks for the clarification. I'll probably have another crack at solving this in the next couple of days. So if pavucontrol only shows the digital outputs (as described in the bug) I guess that means that the front:xx output is not correctly or not at all configured? The config file /usr/share/alsa/cards/ICE1712.conf certainly has some blurb in there but it's quite minimal. Here it is, just for your info and any hints you can give to help my tinkering: ICE1712.pcm.front.0 { @args [ CARD ] @args.CARD { type string } type route ttable.0.0 1 ttable.1.1 1 slave.pcm { type hw card $CARD } } Compared to the entry for the digital outputs, it's very brief. Thanks, Chris.
