Jonathan -- thank you. Instructions worked substituting "indigoio" for your cardname. However, I have a problem editing alsa-base to set the index to 0. Should I put it at the top of the "options" list near the end? Susan

I installed Linux Studio yesterday and have all the updates. I understood that my echoaudio pcmcia card would be recognized, but I am having trouble getting it to work. Could anyone point me to the latest installation instructions? Thanks. Thanks. Susan 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.
