[LAU] Hoontech DSP24 C-port

Hi list I just gave away my UA25 to my son because I had a pci port on a computer and this old but capable ice7212 based sound card lying in a closet. I remember it even worked a couple of years ago in Linux. Anyway - now it doesn't record. It plays ack fine, but I am not able to make it record. This is on Ubuntu natty with KXstudio desktop and a multimedia kernel. I've tried both the special mixer Envy24 control end the later version. Even tried alsa mixer, but I cannot for the life of figure out how to get a signal into the computer. Everything looks good in qjackctl - 8 inputs/outputs etc. Does anyone actually use this any longer? Any hints?? All the best Ketil
