Thread: snd-ice1724 audio driver not loading for Shutle SN25P in 11.10

i expecting ubuntu automatically detect , load sound driver on shuttle sn25p desktop pc. sound in system settings shows "dummy" device output.

scanned dmesg , see these lines.

code:

[    8.865556] ice1724 0000:06:06.0: pci int -> link[apc3] -> gsi 18 (level, low) -> irq 18  [    8.897462] ice1724: invalid eeprom (size = 255)  [    8.897475] ice1724 0000:06:06.0: pci int disabled  [    8.897498] ice1724: probe of 0000:06:06.0 failed error -5

aplay -l lists no devices.

lspci (a couple of ways) shows this.

code:

if try load snd-ice1724 module after boot nothing happens ("modprobe snd-ice1724"). followed instructions on few links googled trying fix problem , came on old page hacked source file somewhere , recompiled driver. instructions few years old , seems me newer versions should recognize card , load driver.

idea how ubuntu load driver sound device?

this source file hack. http://forum.soft32.com/linux2/sound...pict23784.html

not familiar compiling kernel, gave shot , got error ubuntu sources downloaded following (as best possible) instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/kernel/compile. not being configured build modules. when tried config enable modules started asking lot of questions didn't know answers to.

anyway, did manage @ source file vt1720_mobo.c. appears shuttle sn25p listed in there, wrong id!

code:

#define vt1720_subdevice_sn25p          0x97123650

according source file hack correct id of sound card should be

code:

#define vt1720_subdevice_sn25p          0x12142417

this seems ubuntu and/or alsa bug, no? don't want involved in building custom kernel every update, seems bug fixed. maybe 2nd configuration needs added sn25p?
