Upgrade to Hardy Herron broke driver for M-Audio Delta 1010lt card (ice1712)

[Charles]

Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.24

Description: Ubuntu hardy (development branch)
Release: 8.04

After an upgrade to the hardy heron beta, my soundcard, an maudio delta that uses the ice1712 driver, no longer works. When I do an lsmod I see that ice1712 isn't loaded, and when I do 'sudo modprobe ice1712', I get:

FATAL: Module ice1712 not found.

However, 'locate ice1712' yields several .ko files:

/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/sound/pci/ice1712
/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/sound/pci/ice1712/snd-ice1712.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/sound/pci/ice1712/snd-ice1724.ko

/lib/modules/2.6.24-12-generic/ubuntu/sound/alsa-driver/pci/ice1712/snd-ice17xx-ak4xxx.ko
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-12/sound/pci/ice1712
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-12/sound/pci/ice1712/Makefile

'uname -r' yields:
2.6.24-12-386

Should those .ko files have been in /lib/modules/2.6.24-12-386/kernel/sound/ ?

Hi Charles,

It looks the module isn't enabled in Hardy (ie the kernel config option CONFIG_SND_ICE1712 isn't set):

ogasawara@yoji:~/ubuntu-hardy/debian/config$ grep -rn "CONFIG_SND_ICE1712" *
i386/config.virtual:489:CONFIG_SND_ICE1712=m
powerpc/config:2124:CONFIG_SND_ICE1712=m
sparc/config:1626:CONFIG_SND_ICE1712=m

Whereas in Gutsy it was:

ogasawara@yoji:~/ubuntu-gutsy/debian/config$ grep -rn "CONFIG_SND_ICE1712" *
amd64/config:2168:CONFIG_SND_ICE1712=m
hppa/config.hppa32:356:# CONFIG_SND_ICE1712 is not set
i386/config.386:1533:CONFIG_SND_ICE1712=m
i386/config.server:1527:CONFIG_SND_ICE1712=m
i386/config.virtual:445:# CONFIG_SND_ICE1712 is not set
i386/config.generic:1525:CONFIG_SND_ICE1712=m
ia64/config:1919:CONFIG_SND_ICE1712=m
lpia/config:1831:# CONFIG_SND_ICE1712 is not set
powerpc/config:1911:CONFIG_SND_ICE1712=m
sparc/config:1446:# CONFIG_SND_ICE1712 is not set

I'll reassign to the kernel team to take a look. Thanks.

The ice1712 modules are built in linux-ubuntu-modules.

rtg@xps1330:/lib/modules/2.6.24-14-generic$ find .|grep ice17
./ubuntu/sound/alsa-driver/pci/ice1712
./ubuntu/sound/alsa-driver/pci/ice1712/snd-ice17xx-ak4xxx.ko
./ubuntu/sound/alsa-driver/pci/ice1712/snd-ice1724.ko
./ubuntu/sound/alsa-driver/pci/ice1712/snd-ice1712.ko

Same problem for me.
Same result with "sudo modprobe ice1712"

  SO am I out of luck?

"It looks the module isn't enabled in Hardy" !!!! Does this mean there is a fix.
does the kernel need to be recompiled to fix this?

 I have this card because I work on audio and video. I need this sound card.
Do I go back to 7.10?

Please check if linux-ubuntu-modules is installed.

[Tim Gardner (timg-tpi)]

The ice1712 modules are packaged in linux-ubuntu-modules. See https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/204974/comments/2

Attaching the output of dmesg might show some more info.

[Craig N (cnewswanger)]

Hello again,

I've checked, and the Linux-ubuntu-modules are installed for the right kernel.
I've attached the result of dmesg and the applicable part of hwinfo.

If I run envy24control it get :
No ICE1712 cards found

Thanks to all.

Here's the dmesg result
