After googling and reading for several hours last nite, I was still unable to find a
solution to this, so I decided to give up and just ask. I am trying to get Ardour, Jack
and my Delta 1010 working on Ubuntu Dapper Flight 4, but I wonder if I am missing
something from alsa. There is also an onboard C-Media sound chip. I can get sound from the
C-Media chip, but the only time I hear a sound from the Delta card is when the Ubuntu
login screen appears, and only after a reboot. XMMS will play thru the C-Media, but when I
try to change to the Delta card, I get the "couldn't open audio" error
message. The snd_ice1712 module is loaded. I tried disabling the C-Media chip in the BIOS,
but Ubuntu still recognizes and uses it. Here is what happens when I try to run alsamixer
or alsa.conf as root:
# alsamixer

'defaults.ctl.card'
ALSA lib conf.c:3493:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned error: No

alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory
# /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf
bash: /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf: Permission denied
I have tried changing permissions, finally setting /dev/dsp, /dev/mixer and /dev/snd/* to
777. I have alsa-base, alsa-utils and alsa-tools installed. I may not have something alsa
needs, but additionally getting a "permission denied" from alsa.conf as root
seems to indicate that the file is being used, although I don't know by what. I would
really appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction with this. Thanks.

What are you doing to "try to change to the Delta card"?
Here is what happens when I
try to run alsamixer or alsa.conf as root:
Mine contains:

1 [M1010 ]: ICE1712 - M Audio Delta 1010
M Audio Delta 1010 at 0xd480, irq 19
As you can see, I have two soundcards, having disabled the on-board
"card", which would have been a 3rd "card".

alsa.conf contains configuration data (hence the .conf) and isn't
ever intended to be run. Rather, it is read by ALSA.
What does your alsa.conf contain? I'll send you my 619 line file
off-list. I hope that's OK with you and the list. The above
line saying, "Unable to find definition 'defaults.ctl.card'"
makes me suspect that the cards were never configured for
some reason. Strangely, I never had to do that step. My
Delta-1010 was simply discovered and configured by my Mandrake
10.1 system. My alsa.conf file contains one line reading like
this: "defaults.ctl.card 0".
Keep at it. You'll be glad you did. Ardour with a Delta 1010 is
wonderful.
G'luck.....

I got yours - thanks. Mine looked the same, but I could not resolve the issues I had on
Ubuntu, so I switched to a bare-bones Debian install, only adding packages I needed from
etch. Along the way I discovered part of the solution - I modified
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base, adding "options snd-cmipci index=2" to the end of the
file. This prevents the C-Media card from being the default sound card. That, and running
"modprobe snd-seq" pretty much solved my problems, and I am even getting lower
latency numbers than with Demudi. Thanks for your help.

I know - I have been using two on my Windows mobile DAW for almost 2 years - I'm just
trying to transition them over to Linux.

*When* you get both 1010s working on your Linux box, would you please
publish a recipe for doing so that a novice could follow? I would
buy a 2nd 1010 were it not for the fact that I can't find such a
recipe, and I don't want to spend that kind of money unless I know it
will work with reasonable effort.

Pretty much like my system, except Athlon 64-X2 4400 and Mandriva
2006.0 on one and Celeron with Mandrake 10.1 on the other. The Delta
1010 is on the Celeron box for the moment and will move to the Athlon
box when I can get that box fully config'd and proven.
Cheers....

It works, at least for me and Doug McLain (he was the one who helped me

Currently if you use 1010LT, you need to use ALSA-CVS also. Use no
patches against ALSA CVS, but patches from that page for everything else.
You need to connect the S/PDIF out of the master card to the S/PDIF in
of the slave card. Use the most recent envy24control in CVS to make
things work correctly.

I wonder if that works with non-LT "cards" or with a combination of
LT and non-LT cards. I suppose it probably does. A friend of mine
has an LT card. Maybe I can borrow that after upgrading to what you
mention below.

Would you know if the version upgrades recommended for the 1010LT are
also recommended for 1010?
Thanks...

XMMS bug. The select list only contains "default" and "hw" devices
which can't work because the ICE1712 only support S32_LE samples which
are rarely used in .wav files.
"default:x" or "plughw:x" should work where x is the number of the
ICE1712 card. I guess you'll have to edit the XMMS config file. Please
report this incorrect enumeration of ALSA devices as a bug to the XMMS
maintainers.
