Re: AudioTrak Prodigy HD2 - either no volume control, or no sound

I found the solution by accident. Here is what you need to do, to have AudioTrak Prodigy HD2 working properly in Alsa:

1) On the card, set jp4 jumper to on (connect the two pins) - it's located directly above the ENVY chipset.
2) in alsa-base.conf (/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf), add line: "options snd-ice1724 model=prodigyhd2"
3) Restart your PC

Now the card is properly recognized, and volume control works.

I got a problem with AudioTrak Prodigy HD2..                                                                                                                         
                                                                                                                                                                     
By default, the soundcard is recognized as ICE1724 card. The sound output is perfect, but _no volume control_ in alsa (neither in amixer nor in alsamixer).          
I have used all models from the ice1724 driver, by changing alsa-base.conf: options snd-ice1724 model=prodigyhd2, and so on. In that case, the soudcard doesn't work at all    
 - volume control IS possible, but no sound. There are only quiet noises, when i'm changing volume.                                                                  
                                                                                                                                                                     
I got two cards  - Normal Prodigy HD2 and Prodigy HD2 Advance. Both with the same results.
I tried several Alsa versions (from 1.0.22-1.0.24) and linux/kernel - (Ubuntu 9.04, 10.04, 10.04, PCLinuxOS, ...),
results are the same: either no volume control, or no sound (but with volume control in alsamixer).                     
                                                                                                                                                                     
Here is my configuration by default (no model chosen) - no volume control:

Here is my configuration using prodigyhd2 model - volume control ok, but no sound:

Do you have any advice for me, what I could do, to have volume control with this soundcard?                                                                          
How hard is it to to take the driver sources and tweak them? Maybe some other idea?
Software volume control is not an option, I need to use amixer or similar.                                                                                  
I know C/C++ but I have never written a driver..                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                                                                     
Thank you kindly for any advice.
