Delta 66.
Worked fine until I actually installed any audio utils, then
after
that even aplay wouldn't work.
aplay won't work if JACK is running as this card lacks hardware mixing. More
troubling is the fact that it seemed near
impossible to gut all the sound stuff and start recompiling alsa drivers
as
modules so that my card would be seen by the
system as multi cards if I
wan't it
to be. Ubuntu has rolled alsa control into gnome
so you can't remove alsa
without removing gnome, unless you want to start rebuilding your entire
desktop
, which kinda negates the advantages of Ubunutu.
I googled a bit and found
a lot
of others complaining about ice1712 bugs and how
difficult it is to fix so
to
heck with that.
You can build new ALSA packages, or just compile ALSA and install over
the Ubuntu ALSA modules.
