Below is a patch to fully enable the Hoontech ST Audio DSP24 Media 7.1. It appears that this card is supported. It was nice to see all the output controls in envy24control. *** Start Patch *** --- alsacvs/alsa-kernel/pci/ice1712/hoontech.c Tue Sep 17 05:42:07 2002 +++ alsacvs_modified_1/alsa-kernel/pci/ice1712/hoontech.c Sat Dec 7 14:10:41 +2002 @@ -218,6 +218,11 @@ "Hoontech SoundTrack Audio DSP24", snd_ice1712_hoontech_init, }, + { + ICE1712_SUBDEVICE_STDSP24_MEDIA7_1, + "Hoontech STA DSP24 Media 7.1", + snd_ice1712_hoontech_init, + }, { } /* terminator */ }; --- alsacvs/alsa-kernel/pci/ice1712/hoontech.h Tue Sep 17 05:42:07 2002 +++ alsacvs_modified_1/alsa-kernel/pci/ice1712/hoontech.h Thu Dec 5 00:21:19 +2002 @@ -27,6 +27,7 @@ #define HOONTECH_DEVICE_DESC "{Hoontech SoundTrack DSP 24}," #define ICE1712_SUBDEVICE_STDSP24 0x12141217 /* Hoontech SoundTrack Audio DSP 24 */ +#define ICE1712_SUBDEVICE_STDSP24_MEDIA7_1 0x16141217 /* Hoontech ST Audio +DSP24 Media 7.1 */ extern struct snd_ice1712_card_info snd_ice1712_hoontech_cards[]; *** End Patch *** Some quick questions. 1) After reading old posts in the mailing lists it appears that the hoontech ice1712 cards don't have the option to change the input gain (analog volume) on analog input. I see no analog volume controls with amixer, or envy24control. Is this true? What ice1712 cards have analog input volume/gain control? 2) Does anyone know the correct way to set the spdif for consumer/professional mode on this card? 3) Claus at st audio support said that this card would not work if gpio_write calls in hoontech.c were made to initilize the box. However, I see no difference using these calls or not using these calls. Does anyone know for sure? Claus said that someone on the mailing list would know the answer. 4) How does one turn off the extra output channels when using oss supported applications, or use only certain output channels when using oss supported applications? 5) How does one access/use the ac97 part of this card? 6) Comments on the card/external box. The RIAA phono pre-amp sucks big time. Does not even compare with a cheap phono pre-amp. Can't record at 96000Hz without overruns using low latency patch and every service I could disable. Card has it's own IRQ also. May have something to do with the via KT133 based motherboard I have. Thanks Henry
