Hi list. I have a friend who has a bit of trouble with the above sound card. According to the ALSA hardware guide it is all green and an envy24 HL driver, which seem to correspond with the ice_1724 module. Is that correct? The card shows when running "lspci", and "lsmod | grep snd" shows that the ice_1724 module is loaded. But the card is not included in the list when doing a "cat /proc/asound/cards" and is is not listed when doing a "cat /proc/interrupts". He already has got a Midiman Anyone got some clue to what may be wrong? For reference I include the "lsmod | grep snd" listing. It seems that nothing is using the module in question: snd_usb_audio 100512 0 snd_usb_lib 23552 1 snd_usb_audio snd_hwdep 14088 1 snd_usb_audio snd_ice1724 99232 0 snd_ice17xx_ak4xxx 6528 1 snd_ice1724 snd_intel8x0 42024 3 snd_ac97_codec 127064 2 snd_ice1724,snd_intel8x0 snd_ac97_bus 4352 1 snd_ac97_codec snd_pcm_oss 57344 0 snd_mixer_oss 22784 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_ak4114 14336 1 snd_ice1724 snd_ak4xxx_adda 10624 2 snd_ice1724,snd_ice17xx_ak4xxx snd_mpu401 12200 0 snd_mpu401_uart 12928 2 snd_ice1724,snd_mpu401 snd_rawmidi 34432 2 snd_usb_lib,snd_mpu401_uart snd_seq_device 12180 1 snd_rawmidi snd_pcm 108168 8 saa7134_alsa,snd_usb_audio,snd_ice1724,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,s nd_ak4114 snd_timer 31112 1 snd_pcm snd 79016 21 saa7134_alsa,snd_usb_audio,snd_hwdep,snd_ice1724,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd _pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_ak4114,snd_ak4xxx_adda,snd_mpu401,snd_mpu401_uart,snd _rawmidi,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 14112 1 snd snd_page_alloc 13200 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm usbcore 167840 6 usbhid,snd_usb_audio,snd_usb_lib,ehci_hcd,ohci_h and the /proc/asound/cards listing as well.
