Hi Jonas,

first - did you try with "Multi Track Rate Locking" on and off? This
control is a bit clumsy.

How about
http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-kmirror.git;a=blobdiff;f=pci/ice1712/ice1712.c;h=fb61943fc4dc9631853d76fa2524cd51880bcd9a;hp=c7cff6f8168a2d0159a0df20ea2c97550dafd6db;hb=b125bc8783367e3eb65312039a29bf2f25e931db;hpb=3e3911eb86fc7016c9cfef0525b9568c3106c4e4
?

It is from about that time.

pro_rate_locked is both when locked explicitly as well as when switched
to spdif clock

http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-kmirror.git;a=blob;f=pci/ice1712/ice1712.c;h=5be2e120a14e25a03744b873e690f765eecb9545;hb=ec10d549379e10b38fe365fbf6bc13bf44f965ac#l133



Please check ice1712 register values, specifically MT RATE to make sure
ice1712 is switched to internal clocks when it should be clocked
externally instead (
http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/alsa/manuals/icensemble/envy24.pdf ). Or
just dump  ice1712 in proc here, I will check with the datasheet.

Unfortunately there is no /proc register dump coded for cs8427 yet. If
you want to investigate further, you can add it to i2c/cs8427.c in a
manner similar to e.g.
http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-kmirror.git;a=blob;f=i2c/other/ak4114.c;h=fdf3c1b65e388414c995a597ef2b351b4ec2a220;hb=HEAD#l451

Thanks,

Pavel.
