What can I do to fix this problem ?
Is something wrong with ALSA ?
When I do "man ALSA" there is no alsa.

Hi,

NAME
alsaconf - configuration tool for the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture

SYNOPSIS
alsaconf [options]

DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the alsaconf command.

Alsaconf is a simple shell script which tries to detect the sound cards on your system and writes a suitable configuration file for
ALSA. It will try to guess what GNU/Linux distribution you're running, and will act accordingly to the standards of that distribution,
if specific support is available.

Alsaconf will write a module-init-tools (or modutils) snippet which can be then used by module-init-tools (or modutils) to load the cor-
rect parameters for your sound card.

Slack 13 Jack Control fails

Thank you OneBuck. After running alsaconf and setting it to ICE1712 my
initial problem is solved. Jack Control starts.
So I'm going to mark this one as solved and asked a different question.
Thank you !
