Asked by triksteerx on 11 hours ago

On a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04, alsa does not detect my sound card. This has been a problem on the last three releases of Ubuntu as well. The last released the VIA vt1720/24 line of sound cards worked on was 8.04. I have tried to open alsamixer to unmute, but I get the error no file found. The ICE1724 drivers necessary for this sound card are present. I have tried all tutorials available at help.ubuntu. I was hoping the fact that 10.04 is the newest LTS would mean this would be taken a bit more seriously. The soundcard is present when I run lspci in a terminal.

I have attempted to install alsa-driver-1.0.23 on both Ubuntu 8.04 and 10.04 and both fail to compile at the same point:

  CC [M] /usr/src/Alsa-1.0.23/alsa-driver-1.0.23/drivers/dummy.o
In file included from /usr/src/Alsa-1.0.23/alsa-driver-1.0.23/drivers/dummy.c:2:

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-25-generic'
make: *** [compile] Error 2

Why is this? I have tried to manually install and use the script found here:

http://monespaceperso.org/blog-en/2010/05/02/upgrade-alsa-1-0-23-on-ubuntu-lucid-lynx-10-04/

This guide has so far worked for getting the compile to work on 10.04. I am waiting until my download grace period to get the "xmlto" program since it is a 450 MB download. I'll update on whether this works for both 8.04 and 10.04 tomorrow after I have gotten the xmlto, which is necessary for alsa-utils to compile correctly.

I think the compile fails because it is not the best procedure to follow....

Instead, please execute step 1 and step 2, then reboot and send us the full terminal output from step 3 and step 4 from this procedure:

And please also specify the exact model and make of your PC (if known)

Keep in mind that the ALSA upgrade procedure only works for Ubuntu 9.10 or Ubuntu 10.04.

I believe that Ubuntu 8.04 is too old to try to compile ALSA driver 1.0.23

The guide worked for solving the make problem I was having on 10.04. I didn't get around to downloading the massive program on 8.04, so I don't know if it works there yet. I will do some digging and find out what the most recent version of ALSA compatible with 8.04 is to further help with getting my no sound problem fixed.

please also specify the exact model and make of your PC (if known)

So I also followed steps 5-7. Step 6 gives me control of a virtual dummy device but there is still no actual hardware recognized by Ubuntu. Step 7 just opens a blank window titled GNOME ALSA mixer. Funny thing is when I ran "sudo alsaconf" from the upgrade guide found in step 1 of the help.ubuntu page, alsa saw and configured my sound card successfully. But as soon as I checked aplay and alsa mixer, I got:

alex@media:~$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
alex@media:~$ alsamixer
cannot open mixer: No such file or directory
alex@media:~$

And I still get that after I have completed step 4 of the troubleshooting guide.

Mark Rijckenberg (markrijckenberg) said : 		#10

I believe that ALSA is giving the error "ICE1724: probe of 0000:02:0f.0 failed with error -5", because the soundcard has not been manually configured yet using the following ALSA command:

sudo alsaconf

That command is actually the very last command in the ALSA upgrade procedure.

Please read the workaround procedure described at the following location (concerning a very similar issue):

http://<email address hidden>/msg23471.html

So after booting the PC, your sound card is not working out-of-the-box, but should be configured manually using:

sudo alsaconf

Hope it helps.

Is the VT1720/24 [Envy24PT/HT] PCI Multi-Channel Audio Controller embedded in the motherboard or an external PCI audio card that you can put into a different PCI slot?

triksteerx (triksterx) said : 		#12

I did that when I did the manual update like the guide from the troubleshooting page says, and I still have no sound. The controller is embedded on the motherboard. I don't have the make and model of the computer because it was a custom built computer that was given to me by a family member. If there is a way to get the info through a command, I would be more than happy to supply it.

alex@media:~$ sudo alsaconf
Running update-modules...
/usr/sbin/alsaconf: line 929: update-modules: command not found
Setting default volumes...
amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such file or directory
===============================================================================

 Now ALSA is ready to use.
 For adjustment of volumes, use your favorite mixer.

 Have a lot of fun!

alex@media:~$

Most of the configuration tool is graphical, so this is all the output I could get from running it again.

Bad news.

Apparently there is already a bugreport about this issue that was never solved:

How does showing me an expired bug answer my question?

Can you help with this problem?

Provide an answer of your own, or ask triksteerx for more information if necessary.
