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.
