Hello Fellows,
Just downloaded the latest (released) alsa-lib, alsa-driver, and alsa-utils, but my Indigo card does not work. It has been tested on the same system using the same drivers and on the same system using Fedora 10, that works fine.
Do you know what I might have to do to get it working on Gentoo (sabayon)?
When I type the following, this is what I get:
~/Downloads/alsa-utils-1.0.22/alsactl $ ./alsactl init 2
Unknown hardware: "Echo_Indigo IO" "" "" "0xecc0" "0x00a0"
Hardware is initialized using a guess method
Using aplay to list the device:
card 2: IO [Indigo IO], device 0: PCM [Indigo IO]
Subdevices: 8/8
.... etc.
Using aplay to test the card here is the command:
aplay -D plughw:2,0 <wav file>
And this does not work, I have checked that things are ok with alsamixer, but still!
Any help will be appreciated or let me know if this is best addressed by submitting a bug.
// Salvador

Kernel or alsa version ?

Do you mean aplay works but there is no sound ?
Do you see anything in the vu-meter or in the mixer meters ?

[**] Alsa! I used the LiveCD of Fedora10, then downloaded the Alsa Lib and Firmware, and the IO-card works!!

Same version ?
[**] Sabayon_Linux_5.0_x86_K

[**] Right it appears to be working (no errors returned) but no sound!
Do you see anything in the vu-meter or in the mixer meters ?
[**] This I don't understand, how would do/check that? I verified that alsamixer and see that the vu-meters are turned all the way up!

Hello Giuliano,
No luck, same behavior. I edited the first file listed listed below and recompiled it and installed it.
Then I restarted the system with the indigo card in place, and the VU meters show levels in the -120 to -100 dB?
I do have alsa-driver-1.0.22
my kernel is 2.6.31

First install a recent version of echomixer.
If you are using alsa-driver 1.0.22 or kernel 2.6.32, try to add this line:
#define ECHOCARD_HAS_LINE_OUT_GAIN
in
alsa-driver-1.0.22/alsa-kernel/pci/echoaudio/indigoio.c
or in
linux-2.6.32/sound/pci/echoaudio/indigoio.c
and recompile. It re-enables the line-out control that I removed last year
because it was not supposed to exist in that card.

The first two meters are the two input channels. They always show some noise.
I'll try something tomorrow on my indigoIOx. Those cards have the same set
of controls, but yours doesn't work. Hmm, I'll let you know.

I did some tests with my indigoIOx. I added the "#define
ECHOCARD_HAS_LINE_OUT_GAIN" in indigoiox.c and it compiled and loaded fine.
That change adds this control to the set (which does not work on my card):
numid=17,iface=MIXER,name='Line Playback Volume'
; type=INTEGER,access=rw---R--,values=2,min=-128,max=6,step=0
: values=-128,-128
| dBscale-min=-128.00dB,step=1.00dB,mute=1
Please check it exists with "amixer -c <cardnumber> contents" (your numid
may differ). If it doesn't, you didn't patch indigoio.c correctly. That
control is not supposed to exist in Indigo and Mia cards, but since in the
Mia it does, it might be there in the CARDBUS indigos as well.
Please use a recent echomixer and make sure the values of the control above
are not -128dB.
