Hi
Having an issue issue with ice1724 sound cards on powerpc motherboards. Motherboards in question Acube Sam460ex .

On the second set boot no sound was produce with audio playback

I have no concrete idea, but in general, the usual problems on PPC are either related with cache coherency or byte endianness. I don't know of any issue with the latter in ice1724 driver, so likely it's the former.
Perhaps the ice1724 driver was not even tested properly with the AC97 codec. Do we know of any separate PCI ice1724 card with this codec?

The second board mentioned , the Aeon Cyrus ,uses a P5020 so is cache coherent . The problem may be in the initialization of the sound card as on some boots with my board , an Acube Sam460ex, it works perfectly. I have tested a CMI8738 pciex1 sound card which works perfectly as do USB cm108 based external cards .
I also have a PCI ice1724 version of the card (never used in this machine) as well as 2 different pciex1 ice1724 cards with the codec . The Sam460ex only has 1 pci slot normally used for the SATA card and 1 shared pcie or SATA II. I could test with the pci card by booting from USB . So either configure as 1 pciex1 slot or 1 on board SATA II . I am helping to test the onboard sata-dwc but am happy to test any ideas for a solution to the audio issues as well. Will mean reconfiguring my machine back an forth but worth it for solutions in both areas .

This is the pci model .

I tried one of my pciex1 cards in an x86 machine and am seeing the same issue. so looks like it is not only powerpc related.
This is the model in the x86 machine. http://www.auto-gadget.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=48...
