LinuxQuestions.org - [SOLVED] DarkIce, ALSA & Intel HDA Audio

Has anyone had luck running DarkIce and ALSA using an Intel HDA onboard audio? I recently purchased an Intel Desktop Board D2500CCE running Slackware64-14.1 and want to move IceCast/DarkIce off an old system running Slackware64-14.0. On the old system IceCast/DarkIce and the onboard ASUS/VIA audio work flawlessly. I figured this would be a simple move however it is not. I keep getting the error: "DarkIce: AlsaDspSource.cpp:173: can't set channels [1]". After spending a few days searching the Internet I am not having much success finding a resolution. I am leaning towards the soundcard as I have reformatted the drive and tried Slackware-14.0, Slackware-14.1 and Slackware64-14.1. I am able to pipe audio in through the line-in and get output through the speakers so I know the onboard sound is working. I checked the onboard audio settings in the BIOS and only options are to Enable to Disable the on-board sound.

I have recompiled DarkIce-1.0, DarkIce-1.2, faac, lame, libogg, libvorbis and two-lame packages under each OS with both DarkIce-1.0 and DarkIce-1.2 presenting the same error: "DarkIce: AlsaDspSource.cpp:173: can't set channels [1]". The darkice.cfg file is the same copy that works fine on the old Slackware64-14.0 ASUS system.

Code:

I have also tried changing the darkice.cfg device to hw:0,2. Does anyone have any pointers for something simple I may be missing?

Thank you in advance for any assistance anyone can provide.
