[alsa-devel] Swissonic TS22PCI / Teratec Phase 22 / driver problems with ice1724

[Manuel Schneider]

Hi,

we had a Teratec Phase 22 on our transmitter line which works great
under Linux, using the ice1724 driver from alsa.
As the original sound card broke due to electrical surge on the
transmitter line, we had to replace it. The Phase 22 is not available
anymore, so we bought a Swissonic TS22PCI which is based on the Phase 22:
http://www.thomann.de/gb/swissonic_ts22pci.htm

The PCB looks exactly the same as the Phase 22, but the driver does not
initialize the card correctly:

---
dmesg:
ice1724: No matching model found for ID 0x3b157b11
ice1724: Invalid EEPROM version 0
AC'97 0 does not respond - RESET
AC'97 0 access is not valid [0xffffffff], removing mixer.
ice1712: cannot initialize pro ac97, skipped
---

I already updated to Linux 2.6.25 and tried the current alsa-drivers
package (1.0.17), but I get always the same errors in the kernel log.
I also deleted /etc/asound.* and /var/lib/alsa/asound.state, ran
alsa-conf - no luck.

Do you have any ideas how I can get this card to work?

Thanks a lot for your suggestions, more information see attached.

Manuel
