LinuxQuestions.org - Hercules Fortissimo IV(ICE1724): Line-In not working

Hello,

I can not get the input to work for Hercules Fortissime 4 soundcard.

I have two sound cards: on-board - configured as sndcard1 + Fortissimo4 (with Envy24HT) configured as sndcard0
Fortissimo is recognized by SUSE at install as ICE1724 - the output is working fine, but the inputs (line-in and microphone) are not working.

OS: SUSE 10.3 / AMD64 default kernel

lspci output: "01:0a.0 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies Inc. VT1720/24 [Envy24PT/HT] PCI Multi-Channel Audio Controller (rev 01)"

The asound.state content is:

What I have foun on alsa webpage is:
"
=================== controls list =======================
> numid=1, iface=CARD,name='ICE1724 EEPROM'

EEPROM contents. not for mixer.

> numid=2, iface=MIXER,name='Multi Track Internal Clock'

the internal clock of the board.
note that ice1724 has a single rate for all channels.

> numid=3, iface=MIXER,name='Multi Track Rate Locking'

the rate locking - allow each app to set the rate or use
the fixed rate.

> numid=4, iface=MIXER,name='Multi Track Rate Reset'

reset the rate to the default value at each time the PCM is closed.
(the default value is the last internal clock rate.)

> > numid=5, iface=MIXER,name='H/W Playback Route'
> numid=6, iface=MIXER,name='H/W Playback Route',index=1
> ...
> numid=12,iface=MIXER,name='H/W Playback Route',index=7

the analog output routing for each channel. they're enum.

> numid=13,iface=MIXER,name='Multi Track Peak'

peak meter. read only.

> numid=14,iface=MIXER,name='IEC958 Playback Route'
> numid=15,iface=MIXER,name='IEC958 Playback Route',index=1

spdif output routing (left/right). the enum valus.

> numid=16,iface=MIXER,name='IEC958 Output Switch'

turn on/off spdif output.

> numid=17,iface=PCM,name='IEC958 Playback Default',device=1

spdif status bits. 32bit long.

> numid=18,iface=MIXER,name='IEC958 Playback Con Mask',device=1
> numid=19,iface=MIXER,name='IEC958 Playback Pro Mask',device=1

available spdif status bit mask for consumer and professional modes.

> numid=20,iface=MIXER,name='DAC Volume'
> numid=21,iface=MIXER,name='DAC Volume',index=1
> ...
> numid=27,iface=MIXER,name='DAC Volume',index=7

DAC = digital-analog-converter
for each analog output channel.

> numid=28,iface=MIXER,name='Master Playback Volume'

master playback volume for analog outputs.

> numid=29,iface=MIXER,name='ADC Volume'
> numid=30,iface=MIXER,name='ADC Volume',index=1

ADC = analog-digital-converter
for each analog input channel.

> numid=31,iface=MIXER,name='Capture Route'

the recording source selection. the enum values.

What I want to do is to change the config file, to have:
- master volume /mute
- output volume (I only need stereo output)
- line-in volume / mute
