modprobe handles module dependancies automatically, you only need to
modprobe snd-ice1712. (And not even that if the boot procedure runs the
alsasound script)

You said that you made an .asoundrc file. Did you make it for root, and
is it in root's homedir? (I'm presuming you're trying to run it as root
from the command prompt).
The error message seems to be coming from alsa not recognizing the name
ice1712, and it should recognize it if the .asoundrc is correct.
btw. A better place than ~/.asoundrc is /etc/asound.conf . That file is
the global (for all users) configuration file.
If this doesn't get you ahead, try running "lsmod" and see if
snd-ice1712 comes up on the list.
When you get the device running, don't forget to use envy24control to
set your levels.
