I am trying to get an M-Audio Audiophile 2496 fully operational.
I cannot seem go get the envy24control to mix the SPIDF input. I can
patch it to HW 1 & 2 Out fine, but when I route via the mixer there is
no sound. I can see the level bars moving as expected in the SPIDF In
section. The PCM 1 & 2 works fine in the mixer. I have tried
mute/unmute, levels, various clock rates, all to no avail.
I'm sure it is just a configuration problem but so far my searching has
not found the answers I need. I have spent days researching and
experimenting so please don't tell me to RTFM, I have. But, I have to
admit that I don't understand a lot of it.
Kernel is vanilla 2.6.5. Distribution is Gentoo. Alsa-lib version
1.0.3b, alsa-oss version 1.0.3a, alsa-utils version 1.0.3, and
alsa-tools version 1.0.3 are installed. The envy24control version is
0.1.0.
I get the following error messages while running envy24control:
Unable to read multi playback volume: No such file or directory
Unable to read multi playback switch: No such file or directory
Whenever a control is moved or changed, I get a similar error message
about writing.
I wish to use the card with arts and kde, with audio input on HW 1 & 2,
SPDIF, and PCM 1 & 2, and output on HW 1 & 2, and SPDIF. I also what to
be able to record from any of the inputs above.
I am not a musician, composing music, but just want to be able to play
and record in stereo.

My /etc/asound.conf file:
pcm.ice1712 {
type hw

}
ctl.ice1712 {
type hw
card 0
}
There are no .asoundrc files in the home directories. I use the system
wide file /etc/asound.conf above.
I would be grateful for any advice on how to change my configuration to
take full advantage of this card.
