Hi Archers,
I just received that external sound card, Terrasoniq Phase X64. It seems to be supported in the kernel using module ice1712.
I've been reading about how to make it work in the last days. the closer I've been to see "it" was by listing some stuff (sorry for imprecision I forgot how since then), the card would appear with a number like this : 4ugxvhgblabla.
I just installed alsa-tools-ice1712 1.0.25-1 But it cannot sees it. Alsaconf shows an ISA P-n-P card...can it be the Terrasoniq?
I don't know really where to start, as making a rule in udev to launch a .sh script, but I guess first I should find a way to see that card pluged somewhere, it's usb. also how to tell my kernel to load ice1712 maybe.
Any advice are welcome!!
Thanks Laurent
Hi Laurent,
"All necessary modules should be detected and loaded automatically by udev" [1]. You don't need to do anything. Two of my sound cards are ice1712 and I didn't configure anything, but they are detected. OTOH those cards are PCI cards.
Anyway, to see if your USB card is detected you e.g. can run
$ hwinfo --usb
Then you should get something like [snip] Vendor: usb 0x0944 "KORG, Inc." Device: usb 0x010f "nanoKONTROL" Revision: "1.00" Driver: "snd-usb-audio" Driver Modules: "snd_usb_audio" [snip] Of cause, here it's not an USB ICE1712 device.
What happens if you run envy24control?
FWIW on my Arch alsa-tools-ice1712 isn't, but alsa-tools is installed.

PS: Oops, I googled and found out your audio device is USB 2.0, they were (perhaps still are) known as not working with Linux. Regarding to your USB 2.0 device I found a thread from 2010: http://linuxaudio.org/mailarchive/lau/2010/9/13/173602 - Ralf
