Good.

Yes. I have exactly same line.

I strongly believe that you really do not need these, we play with alsa 
(+jackd, +pulseaudio) here, not with oss.

I use for both computers Ubuntu Studio 8.04 AMD64. You are using Ubuntu 
Studio 8.04 AMD64, right?

So I (and you) have the driver (module) on right place. No need for 
anything else.

$ lsmod | grep ice1712

Use "alsamixer" for every four channel, lift (arrow keys) them near to 
77 - all should be in green, not red anywhere. Then quit qiwt "q".

Same with "envy24control".

Now you plug your monitors to the break out box - OUTS 1 and 2.

If play some mp3 files with vlc/rhythmbox/younameit, there should be 
noise/sound/music.

Audacity works at this point, too.

So play first with "alsamixer" and physical OUTS, then we go deeper - to 
the world of the Jackd.
