Hello all,
I recently put together a SFF PC. The motherboard came with on-board
sound, but because I plan to use this PC for various multimedia tasks
(playing music, movies, etc.) I wanted to get a little better sound
card. So I purchased a Chaintech AV-710 card. Doing some searching on
the web I found that this card was given pretty good reviews for being a
high quality, low cost card. Although the card is not specifically
listed in the Alsa database, I found that it was supported under
Linux/Alsa, as it is an Envy 24PT-based card, and uses the snd-ice724
module.
I have the SPDIF output of the card connected to my A/V receiver. Using
various sources on the web I managed to get this part of it working.
However, as I want to explore the full features of the card I have been
trying to get the analog outputs to work also, but so far I haven't had
any luck. It's my understanding that with Alsa I should be able to use
both the SPDIF and analog outputs at the same time.
Are you saying it didn't work at all OOTB? What did you have to
configure to get it working?
I've tried a bunch of different settings, but I just can't seem to get
anything out of the analog outputs. I don't know whether I'm missing
something obvious or not, but I'm running out of things to try. I don't
know if I don't have my asound.conf and/or asound.state files
misconfigured or what.
Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
What ALSA version?
Thanks,
John

Sorry, I should have posted a few more details. I am running Fedora
Core 4, with kernel 2.6.15. All the ALSA rpm packages are version
1.0.10, except the alsa-tools package which is version 1.0.9.
As far as working OOTB, no it did not seem to work. The card was
properly recognized, but I wasn't getting any output at all. Some of
the problems may have been due to the on-board sound card. My first
priority was getting the SPDIF connection working. So I searched around
and found some details on a web site (I think it was head-fi.org) for
getting the digital output to work. This included downloading a
asound.state file. Once I loaded up the asound.state file I got the
digital output to work. These instructions that I found stated that
both the digital and analog outputs should work at the same time, but
that is not the case for me.
Well of course the mixer is muted by default. But anything that an
asound.state file does, you should have been able to do with alsamixer.
Please attach your current "amixer" output.

Well, it looks like I have things working now. I went back to my
original asound.state file, which I had backed up prior to overwriting
it with the one I downloaded from the web. When I did this I found that
the Analog outputs were working. (OOTB I was just concentrating more on
the SPDIF output). With the original asound.state file loaded, I
adjusted the mixer settings related to the SPDIF output and got that
working also. I have must have missed a muted mixer setting or two when
I was working on it yesterday. Sometimes I guess you have to walk away
from these things for a while.
Thanks for responding.
John
