No ICE1712 cards found - M-Audio sound card.

Hi all,

I've just installed UbuntuStudio 64 bit (real time kernel), and everything is fine (well, getting there).

The only thing I haven't been able to (slowly) fix is my soundcard.

It's listed in 'lspci':

Code:

03:00.0 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies Inc. ICE1712 [Envy24] PCI Multi-Channel I/O Controller (rev 02)

modinfo snd-ice1724 gives me:

Code:

parm:           id:ID string for ICE1724 soundcard. (array of charp)
parm:           enable:Enable ICE1724 soundcard. (array of bool)
parm:           model:Use the given board model. (array of charp)

...so I think I've loaded the module ok.

However, dmesg |grep ICE returns:

Code:

[   19.091552] ICE1712 0000:03:00.0: PCI INT A -> Link[LNEC] -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17
[   19.114245] ICE1712 0000:03:00.0: PCI INT A disabled
[   19.115304] ICE1712: probe of 0000:03:00.0 failed with error -14

So I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.

If I try to run envy24control I simply get:

Code:

No ICE1712 cards found

I have a dual boot (well, in fact another HDD) with 8.04 - everything works fine in there, so I know the hardware is good.

Shouldn't the module loaded be snd-ice1712.ko? http://www.alsa-project.org/main/ind...Module-ice1712

Yes, quite right. I've since changed that, but I still get the same error:

Hmm, maybe this will help: https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/al...ew.php?id=3327

Ha ha !

You Sir, are a diamond!

I didn't find that page when googling (but then I wasn't a signed up member I suppose).

The answer was amoungst the bug chat:

I had to add

options snd-ice1712 model=delta66 (or delta1010LT)

in the

# Prevent abnormal drivers from grabbing index 0

section of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

Had to fiddle around a bit with Jack after that (I can't remember exactly what I did, but it was in the output settings).

Thank you very much indeed!
