Out of sheer frustration, I've done an r-'n'-r. When it comes to the
sound card portion of the installation, the sound card seems to be
detected properly (bear in mind that I disabled on-board sound in the
BIOS) --
*Vendor:* VIA
*Model:* Technologies Inc. ICE1712 [Envy24] PCI Multi-Channel I/O
Controller
*Module:* snd-ice1712
-- but I can't hear the test sound. However, when I looked at
modprobe.conf, I found
alias snd-card-0 snd-ice1712
options snd-card-0 index=0
IIUC, the second line ought to read
options snd-ice1712 index=0
and I have changed it to such. When I restart alsa from a term, I get:
Starting sound driver snd-ice1712 [ OK ]
Starting sequencer [ OK ]
Starting sequencer driver snd-seq-midi [ OK ]
Restoring sound driver settings /usr/sbin/alsactl: load-state:1712:
No soundcards found. . . [ FAILED ]
(I had the same problem with alsactl earlier.) When I reboot, however,
all four come back OK . . . but when I log in and go to Applications |
System Settings | Soundcard Detection, I /still/ don't hear the test
sound. . . . :-(
/b.
