[pulseaudio-discuss] Initialisation Fail with MAudio Delta 44 and ICE1712 Driver

Sun Jan 27 06:47:22 PST 2008

I have a 2 Soundcard system  :-

Card 0 is "on-board" Intel HDA (ALC880 chip) and uses the ALSA
snd-hda-intel driver.
Card 1 is a MAudio Delta 44  and uses the ALSA ice1712 driver.
Both cards work fine using the "direct" ALSA interface.

Using Pulseaudio the initialisation of the Delta 44 fails as follows :

Card 0 (ALC880) works fine with Pulseaudio (ESOUND & XMMS etc).
The above problem is the same on Ubuntu 7.10 & Hardy and also Fedora R8.

I'm not sure if the above is a Pulseaudio or ALSA or configuration
problem ?

Any ideas ?
