What is the echo from

lsmod|grep snd-indigoiox

Try to do the following:

edit "/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf" with your favorite editor and
include snd-indigoiox as follows:

options snd-indigoiox index=0

(or similar, I don't know the options)

install echomixer:

sudo apt-get install alsa-tools-gui

run:

echomixer

what is the echo?

if it answers you

"No Echoaudio cards found, sorry."

then I only can refer to

yes, I use a Silicon Image Sil 3531 eSATA II mass storage controller for
external 2 TB Harddisk with 3.0 Gbit/s but no echo soundcard (I do my
professional audio with Zoom-H4 which is connected over USB, since audio
does in my case not need to be that fast connected as storage)
