Hi Susan, I have a layla20. I found that the firmware was missing
from ALSA in Ubuntu Studio Feisty with some other things. This was
fixed by downloading the latest ALSA and rebuilding.
This would include:
Alsa-drivers
Alsa-firmware
Alsa-libs
Alsa-utils
Extract each of the above to separate directories and then enter
alsa drivers for example and begin there with ./configure, make, make
install - to install each portion of ALSA.
When installing ALSA drivers, include the sound card as follows:
$sudo ./configure --with-card=layla20
This makes sure to compile the driver for your soundcard which may
be different than 'layla20', also note that the card name is
'layla20' and not 'snd-layla20'. You can put multiple cards on that
line seperated by commas. For example ./configure --with-
card=layla20,usb-audio
After the install try modprobing the layla20 driver:
$modprobe snd-layla20
If you get no response to the command it is probably working.
Try the aplay -l command to list playback devices and see if the
card is there.
Edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base and set the index of the layla20 to
0. This makes it the default device for the system. You can see
various other lines in there with =1 etc. Here, refer to your device
as 'snd-layla20' for example. Then reboot.
If your echoaudio card has spdif, remember that to access this you
should use hw:0,1 in various software and dialogs to specify the
digital device on the soundcard. For example in qjackctl. hw(0,0)
would be the analog devices.
Ubuntu Studio also comes with a nice app called echomixer that can
be run from a terminal.
Hope this Helps,
