I installed Ubuntu studio and tried to make it recognize the audio card m-audio 2496. My efforts caused me to lose my system and now I've done a fresh install and was wondering how I should make the system recognize this card the right way.

    - Run alsamixer in a terminal, press F6: do you see a soundcard named "ice1712" ? If no, and if you have an internal soundcard, disable it in bios and retest. - You also need to install "alsa-tools" package: in a terminal run `sudo apt-get install alsa-tools alsa-tools-gui` : this will give you a "envy24 mixer" in multimedia menu. – laugeo Sep 01 '14 at 08:47
  • All plugins you mentioned are already installed. In the audio output of the ubuntu studio, the audio card appears. In another installation I did, or it showed. But now no sound. The sound bars stating that the music is playing on the plate but no sound appears. – Rafael Soufraz Sep 01 '14 at 23:46
  • What audio apps do you use ? It would be good to test with jack sound server + Ardour (not sure this sound card needs jack, but sure it works with it) . Also you can post alsa-info result running this command in a terminal: wget http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh -O alsa-info.sh && bash alsa-info.sh – laugeo Sep 02 '14 at 08:19

I fixed the problem by doing the following process found in this post:

Need external (usb)Sound card suggestions that work with Ubuntu 12.04

In my case, I had just a quite low volume. Other mixers were not showing up.

Try gnome-alsamixer. Here is what I do. I have integrated soundcard and Audigy.

  1. Install Ubuntu Studio (not virtually).
  2. Switch off the integrated soundcard in BIOS.
  3. Launch terminal. Type sudo apt-get install gnome-alsamixer. After the program is installed type gnome-alsamixer.
  4. Select "Audigy Analog/Digital Output Jack".
  5. Enjoy

Note: I wrote Select "Audigy Analog/Digital Output Jack". You must select analog of your soundcard.
