Terratec EWSA88MT (ICE1712/envy24) sound card not working

ALSA is not detecting the card, however the module is loaded correctly

The card works fine in Windows XP so I'm a bit at a loss here...

Re: Terratec EWSA88MT (ICE1712/envy24) sound card not working

Hey MrE, did you ever get this issue sorted?

I had exactly the same symptoms recently with my new system build, and it ended up being caused by a conflict with my video card.  When I booted the system using the motherboards onboard video, my ice1712 card would then be detected by ALSA and worked as it should.

I ended up moving my video card to the 2nd / bottom PCI-E on my motherboard and this got around the issue
