Hi all,
I'm currently attempting to set up an Acer 3220 laptop running Gentoo.
The soundcard I'm using is an Echo Indigo IO PCMCIA. The card worked
fine with my last laptop and works ok in Windows on the new computer.
So it's definitely something to do with Linux on this laptop.
The problem is that Linux doesn't seem to see it at all - no mention in
dmesg or /var/log/messages apart from an acknowledgment that there's a
card in the slot. The internal Intel card and an Edirol UM-2 are seen
fine so ALSA is presumably ok (snd-indigoio modprobes without any errors
as well). I've tried the Gentoo 2.6.15 kernel and MM sources 2.6.16
with the same results. Also tried ALSA 1.0.10 and 1.0.11. The laptop
has a Yenta cardbus bridge which is supported and detected so I don't
think that's the issue.
To be honest I don't have any idea where to start with solving this
problem so any help would be much appreciated. I'm not keen to go down
the new hardware route but if anyone does have reports of working
configurations with this (or a similar) laptop that'd also be good.
Cheers,
Jonny
