The problem with this sound card is that it's not working at every
system start. Sometimes sound is not starting at system start.

Is helping the reloading of alsa modules:

$ sudo /sbin/alsa force-reload

This problem is very old, it was present when I started to use ubuntu
7.04. The problem is present with pulse and with alsa. Now I'm using
Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx "Linux siroja 2.6.32-24-generic #41-Ubuntu SMP
Thu Aug 19 01:12:52 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux".
At first i was thinking that the problem was because of my motherboard
integrated sound card. I blocked the sound card from bios, and puted
the modules of that in blacklist.conf, but the problem didn't
disappear. I put the folowing alsa modules in /etc/modules to load them
at start:

snd
snd_usb-audio
snd_hwdep
snd_usbmidi-lib
snd_ice1724
snd_ice17xx-ak4xxx
snd_ac97-codec
snd_ak4xxx-adda
snd_ak4114
snd_pt2258
snd_i2c
snd_ak4113
snd_pcm-oss
snd_mixer-oss
snd_pcm
snd_page-alloc
snd_seq-dummy
snd_seq-oss
snd_seq-midi
snd_rawmidi
snd_seq

but it's not helping

I changed the sound cards boot order:

$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/soundcardorder.conf
options snd_ice1724 index=0
options snd_usb_audio index=1

I installed the latest version of alsa packages (1.0.23):

alsa-driver-1.0.23
alsa-lib-1.0.23
alsa-utils-1.0.23
alsa-firmware-1.0.23
alsa-plugins-1.0.23

But it still not working.

I don't know what to do. I atached the result of: dmesg, hwinfo, lshw,
lspci, cat /proc/modules, cat /proc/asound/cards, and lsusb. I also
atached a picture of my "Gembird SC-5.1-1" sound card.

P.S. This letter and the info about my sistem and hardware was wrote
with non working sound.
