($149 from Guitar Center) but have not been able to get things working. I started out with 0.5.12. No trouble loading the ice1712 module, but no sound either. amixer, alsamixer, and envy24control all seemed to be able to display something that looked somewhat sensible, but nothing I tried got any sound to come out. In looking back through the alsa-user archives, I read some messages about the 2496 -> OSS emulation (among other things) being problematic because of the multichannel nature of ice1712, so I decided to try 0.9.0beta9. Still no problem loading the modules and getting the card recognized, but using anything that talks to it (alsamixer and esp. envy24control) causes the computer to completely freeze, I can't even telnet into it. So I would greatly appreciate any pointers regarding: 1) making sure one version of alsa is completely removed before installing another. 2) any specific hints regarding the Audiophile 2496 BTW, I also have a AudioPCI card in the machine and in all the versions of alsa mentioned about, it works perfectly. So I have no trouble getting sound out of my machine, just out of the Audiophile 2496.
