IE a fresh
install of Ubuntu won't even aplay, with one of the most popular

cards out there! That is terrible.
Which card? What were the symptoms?
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.
