[SOLVED] Muted VIA VT1724 Envy24

Hi people!

TL;DR = VIA VT1724 Envy24 mute on fedora, but working on windows (dual boot pc)

I have an old pc, and I was using ubuntu - but ubuntu is so resource hungry - so I am using fedora for the last months. Loved the Kde spin, this last 2 weeks I am using the gnome spin. It is better that I was expected, lighter than I expected.

So, the problem: the sound card of my mainboard died. I bought a pci soundcard. Let me show the details:

Code:

# lspci -v

01:01.0 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies Inc. VT1720/24 [Envy24PT/HT] PCI Multi-Channel Audio Controller (rev 01)
	Subsystem: VIA Technologies Inc. Device 2403
	Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 21
	I/O ports at b800 [size=32]
	I/O ports at b400 [size=128]
	Capabilities: [80] Power Management version 1
	Kernel driver in use: snd_ice1724

# aplay -l

#dmesg | grep 1724
[    0.063519] pci 0000:01:01.0: [1412:1724] type 00 class 0x040100

[   10.976706] ice1724: Invalid EEPROM version 1

And I got no sound. Yes, alsamix was one of my first tries and no, it is not muted. So far, I found little to nothing info on the web.

Edit
Also, I found something about creating an /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf with:
options snd-ice1724 model=av710

But I was unable to find what model to specify in this file.

Any ideas - besides buying a new soundcard?

It Woks!!!! It's Alive!!!!

OK, what did I did:

george_toolan (thanks a LOT man!) indicated a link in a ubuntu forum. Problem:

Code:

sudo /sbin/alsa force-reload

doesn't work on fedora.

Then I tried

Code:

#alsa --force-reload

as root, but notinhg yet.

Then I tried:

Code:

alsaunmute
amixer set Master 90%
amixer set PCM 90%

Didn't worked, so I rebooted. After I logged back, the sound was working!

So, here it is, if someone else need help with this problem.
