Hi!
I bought a Terratec Phase 88 Rack (PCI).
http://www.philrees.co.uk/audio/AUDPHASE88RPCI.html
I found that the error is the exactly the same for me. After I added the following 2 lines to etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
"install snd-ice1712 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-ice1712 && { /sbin/modprobe -b snd-ice1712 ; }
options snd-ice1712 model=auto"
, the soundcard is recognized, the envy24control started
"using --- input_channels: 0
--- output_channels: 0
--- pcm_output_channels: 8
--- spdif in/out channels: 2"
I found this topic, and the soultion which was posted by touchstyle, so I changed the lines above in the alsa-base.conf file to the following
"install snd-ice1712 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-ice1712 & { /sbin/modprobe -b snd-ice1712 ; }
#options snd-ice1712 model=ews
options snd-ice1712 index=0
alias snd-card-0 snd-ice1712"
Now the envy24control doesn't recognize any ice1712 card.
"No ICE1712 cards found."
I changed the following line in the first attempt "options snd-ice1712 model=auto" to '"options snd-ice1712 model=phase88" but the card isn't detected. "No ICE1712 cards found." I checked the PCI card and there is a text on it, "Phase 88", so I'm sure that it is a Phase 88 PCI card.
Very strange but if I changed this line to "options snd-ice1712 model=ews88d" or to "options snd-ice1712 model=delta1010" the envy24control starts and I see all of the 8 input and 8 output channels, but if I plug in some music to line 1, there is no signal in the monitor.
If I change this line in alsa-base.conf to "options snd-ice1712 model=ews88mt" or to "options snd-ice1712 model=ews88mt_new",the feedback is "No ICE1712 cards found." again. (This two models are also Terratec soundcards, but not the Phase 88 Rack PCI).
I tested the card using Windows 7, and after driver installation the card worked perfect, so this problem comes from the Linux driver I think.
The following link contain the alsa configuration for envy24 cards.

Could anybody help me, what can be the problem? Is there more version of this card, and I have a different Phase 88 card type???
