Hello
Found some emails from 2004 about the status of this card/box-combo in linux.
Does anyone have any updated info on the status? With ubuntu5.04/alsa and
envy24control I can do data output trough the box, but fail to get any input
from the box. Based on documentation from 2002 (st-audio one), seems that the
inputs need to be "enabled" by their software (routing?) that will turn on a
LED above a pair of lines. I haven't managed to do this by any means.
The PCI card is interestingly enough identified by lspci as "VIA Tech Inc
ICE1712 [Envy24]" although I don't know why it's VIA. Maybe they share the
PCI vendor and subvendor id, go figure.
I have some experience in driver and software programming and am willing to
help if anyone needs it. I looked the envy24control code over, but the only
feeling that I get currently is that my head will soon explode.
Barring getting c-port working in Linux, can anyone recommend any comparable
gear that works in Linux (USB2/firewire preferred)? Multitrack audio, inputs
more important than outputs (unbalanced ok).
Thank you for your time and hope to hear from you soon.
ak.

I've been running a DSP2000 C-Port for the last two years with no
problems. It works like a champ. What's the problem?

A case of stupid-user-error this time, lucky me :-). The manual that came with
the box said nothing about the box-id switches, and they were set all off
when I got the device. Switching the first switch to "ON" solved the
problem :-).

For me, audio works just fine with this device under ALSA. MIDI is
severely broken, only Out 1 works as expected, In and Out 2 are dead.
There have been bug reports long, long ago, but this has obviously never
been fixed.
Regards,
Klaus

We have been in contact with the author of the Windows driver, and
have the original source code for the box initialization, but we
haven't been able to find out what the crucial difference it.
This will probably never been fixed.

Is there any chance I could get a copy of the code? I've got a C-Port
and I'd like to try to get it to work with my V-Amp.
