I have an M-Audio Audiophile card as well but it is in a G4 Macintosh. I have been unable to get it to work with ALSA. All I can get is digital noise or his from the speakers no matter what inputs/outputs I select. (Lucky you at least you get something.) This happens with both the alsamixer gui and the envy24control program. BTW the envy24control program does not work properly on PowerPC Debian. The problem seens to be that the meters routine tries to access an unopened window and causes a segfault. I can post information on the problem if someone is interested. I can get it to run but it spits out some errors about a timer not being found. I would like to get the card working on DebianPPC. It is a fine card. I have noticed by perusing the mailing lists that many people have got cards with the same chip working on the PC (i386). > > I posted a message over a week ago asking for configuration help and > have not received a single reply.

Yeah, one problem with Linux/Open source is that folks either ignore you or tell you to fix it yourself. With commercial software they just ignore you if they can't help. :) > non-programmer.

It sounds like you already got pretty far so this might be review. You need the the ALSA sound system (obviously) and the ICEnsemble modules. My card has the ICE1712 chip. If yours has the other Envy chip you should use that one. It doesn't matter if you include both AFAIK. After you have installed the new kernel and modules use modprobe -v snd_ice1712 (or what ever the module is installed. Don't use the extension with modprobe.) I think modprobe should resolve most of the dependencies but you may have to check with lsmod, check to see that the core alsa modules have loaded. This is from my PC with the C-Media chip, but yours should look similar but with the envy modules instead. snd_pcm_oss 51236 0 snd_mixer_oss 19072 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_cmipci 38132 0 snd_pcm 93728 2 snd_pcm_oss,snd_cmipci snd_page_alloc 10884 1 snd_pcm snd_opl3_lib 12032 1 snd_cmipci snd_timer 26756 2 snd_pcm,snd_opl3_lib snd_hwdep 9184 1 snd_opl3_lib snd_mpu401_uart 8896 1 snd_cmipci snd_rawmidi 24352 1 snd_mpu401_uart snd_seq_device 8520 2 snd_opl3_lib,snd_rawmidi snd 51876 10 snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_cmipci,snd_pcm,sn d_opl3_lib,snd_timer,snd_hwdep,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device > > My wish is for someone who understands the intricacies of ALSA and the > Audiophile 2496 to write an installation and configuration guide for the > complete moron.

I know it is pretty minimal especially if you have serious problems like I am having. http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=Midiman&card=Delta+DiO+2496&chip=Envy24&module=ice1712 I did find another page where someone posted all the envy24control screenshots. I don't have the link handy but try some googling if your interested.
