Upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 broke ice1724 sound card support (and remained broken after 8.10 to 9.04 upgrade).

[Ben Flynn]

I had a working sound card in Ubuntu 8.04 64 bit, which was my initial installation, but when I used the upgrade tool to go to 8.10, I lost sound. I upgraded from 8.10 to 9.04 hoping this would solve the problem, but it did not. The following kernel logs show the error on startup when it tries to load the card:

Jun 21 19:21:03 bcflynn-desktop kernel: [ 12.536338] ICE1724 0000:01:0f.0: PCI INT A -> Link[APC2] -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17
Jun 21 19:21:03 bcflynn-desktop kernel: [ 12.573773] ice1724: No valid ID is found
Jun 21 19:21:03 bcflynn-desktop kernel: [ 12.573806] ICE1724 0000:01:0f.0: PCI INT A disabled
Jun 21 19:21:03 bcflynn-desktop kernel: [ 12.573832] ICE1724: probe of 0000:01:0f.0 failed with error -5

I am using the following soundcard (from lspci):

01:0f.0 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies Inc. VT1720/24 [Envy24PT/HT] PCI Multi-Channel Audio Controller (rev 01)

It's the integrated soundcard in the Chaintech Zenith Z-150 motherboard.

*Note* I was fiddling with it to try to get it to work. I even built the also drivers from source and installed them, so the log that your bug report tool sent might not be accurate. The lines above are what showed right after upgrade, so they will accurately reflect the problem before I started mucking with the system.

Hi Ben,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 390410

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.
