hi daniel, if I asked nicely, would you be willing to give me a little more help?
I've followed the discussion about bug 178442, and have tried the suggestions that seemed to fit my situation, without success: a) #64 (the "correct" version of #63 where the rules file goes in /etc/udev/rules.d) I also changed the subsystem_device parameter to match my model of card like this ATTRS{subsystem_device}=="0xd638" I called the rules file ice1712_rules instead of pulseaudio_rules - is this ok? b) #30 (adding the lines "slave.format S32_LE" & "slave.channels 10" to the "ICE1712.pcm.front.0" entry in the /usr/share/alsa/cards/ICE1712.conf file. c) #7,#37,#72 adding a line to the /etc/pulse/default.pa file to explicitly load the module: load-module module-alsa-sink sink_name=delta_out device=hw:0 channels=10 channel_map=left,right,aux0,aux1,aux2,aux3,aux4,aux5,aux6,aux7 I was unsure of what device name to use - some examples had things like hw:M2496, but I had no way of knowing what the name should be, so I used an example from here: https://tango.0pointer.de/pipermail/pulseaudio-discuss/2008-January/001240.html where the first soundcard detected can be referred to as hw:0 I used this & disabled/removed all soundcards except the ice-1712 card. none of the above have worked. from another suggestion, I've also explicitly re-loaded/re-installed the ALSA ice-1712 driver. just in case its useful, here is the output from pulseaudio -vvv: I: main.c: setrlimit(RLIMIT_NICE, (31, 31)) failed: Operation not permitted I: main.c: setrlimit(RLIMIT_RTPRIO, (9, 9)) failed: Operation not permitted D: core-rtclock.c: Timer slack is set to 50 us.
