snd-ice1724 audio driver not loading for Shuttle SN25P in 11.10

http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11372897

There is an error recognizing my sound device. From dmesg:

[ 8.865556] ICE1724 0000:06:06.0: PCI INT A -> Link[APC3] -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 18
[ 8.897462] ice1724: Invalid EEPROM (size = 255)
[ 8.897475] ICE1724 0000:06:06.0: PCI INT A disabled
[ 8.897498] ICE1724: probe of 0000:06:06.0 failed with error -5

I googled a while and found this http://forum.soft32.com/linux2/Sound-Chip-IC-Ensemble-ICE1724-Envy24HT-ftopict23784.html. But I am unable to get that hack to work for me.
