Installing a sound card (SOLVED)

[Mister Mint]

Hi everyone

Recently I installed Linux Mint (MATE) and afterwards I replaced my old sound card with a Audiophile 2496 sound card from M-Audio. By searching for Audiophile 2496 in the Package manager I found Mudita24 (formerly called Envy24) and installed it. But still it's only the built-in sound card (HDA Intel) is visible under Menu > Preferences > Sound, and I can neither play any sound nor open Mudita24, so something is wrong, but what? I've taken the sound card out and re-installed it, but no difference. If anyone can help I would be glad Thank you

What does aplay -l and arecord -l show?

[Mister Mint]

Hello asbak

aplay -l shows this: (Danish language)

**** Liste over PLAYBACK-hardwareenheder ****
lydkort 0: Intel [HDA Intel], enhed 0: ALC1200 Analog [ALC1200 Analog]
Underenheder: 1/1
Underenhed #0: subdevice #0
lydkort 0: Intel [HDA Intel], enhed 1: ALC1200 Digital [ALC1200 Digital]

Underenhed #0: subdevice #0
lydkort 1: M2496 [M Audio Audiophile 24/96], enhed 0: ICE1712 multi [ICE1712 multi]
Underenheder: 1/1
Underenhed #0: subdevice #0

And arecord -l shows this:

**** Liste over CAPTURE-hardwareenheder ****
lydkort 0: Intel [HDA Intel], enhed 0: ALC1200 Analog [ALC1200 Analog]
Underenheder: 1/1
Underenhed #0: subdevice #0

BTW, I can open Mudita24 now and Audiophile is also visible now under Preferences > Sound (don't know why now and not before), but still there's no sound. Under Preferences > Sound > Input there's nothing, so I guess it's a hardware problem?

I have that mAudio card, the mudita gui tab 'analog volume' has the volume sliders.

command lsmod lists kernel modules, and snd_ice1712 is the module for most current mAudio cards.
If you don't see it in the lsmod output, use command

sudo modprobe snd_ice1712 to load it.

In qjackctl, your input and output devices can be the soundcard name seen within brackets
of the aplay -l command output: M Audio Audiophile 24/96

Click the widgets by Input Device/Output Device on the right side of the Setup panel,
and you may see M Audio Audiophile 24/96 or similar,
as one of the options, along with the motherboard sound.
Cheers

Hi glowrak guy, thanks a lot. These two sliders were indeed turned down. I also installed the qjackctl and set the Input Device/Output Device to M Audio Audiophile 24/96, and it works now Thanks again for helping, both of you.
Cheers
