Is it running with the right card? It only shows two channels.
You may need to turn off any onboard audio interface in the
BIOS if you haven't done so already.

The Arch Linux Wiki has good instructions on setting up audio
on Linux.

YMMV here. I have six Delta 1010 (same ice1712 chip as 1010LT)
and haven't encountered this problem. I've used them on Linux for
~14 years with a variety of 2-core and 4-core systems. I'd try it
first without this measure and only resort to it if necessary.
