Gainward Hollywood@Home 7.1 Sound Card

Gainward Hollywood@Home 7.1 Sound Card

[Atro Tossavainen]

Hello,

A friend of mine gave me a Gainward Hollywood@Home 7.1 Sound Card to
play with since he couldn't get it to work in Linux and figured that
if there was somebody who could it'd be me.  Well, I can't, because
this particular card isn't supported in ALSA although its chipset is.

In lspci -vvvv, it appears thus:

00:0b.0 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies Inc. VT1720/24 [Envy24PT/HT] PCI Multi-Channel Audio Controller (rev 01)
        Subsystem: CardExpert Technology: Unknown device 0200
        Control: I/O+ Mem- BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B-
        Status: Cap+ 66Mhz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR-
        Latency: 32
        Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 5
        Region 0: I/O ports at e400 [size=32]
        Region 1: I/O ports at e800 [size=128]
        Capabilities: [80] Power Management version 1
                Flags: PMEClk- DSI- D1- D2+ AuxCurrent=0mA PME(D0-,D1-,D2-,D3hot-,D3cold-)
                Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME-

When I modprobe snd-ice1724, the following appears in dmesg:

ice1724: No matching model found for ID 0xb0100002
ice1724: Invalid EEPROM version 1

These results are from a vanilla 2.6.11 kernel.  Help is appreciated,
but this is certainly not an urgent issue.

You may try different models by passing "model=XXX" module option.
See ALSA-Configuration.txt.

Though, I guess another models wouldn't match with your board easily.
You'll likely need to write a codec initialization and mixer set-up
code over I2C/SPI like other boards.

Will give it a try.

If picking one of the already defined models doesn't work, I'll just
donate the card to somebody who wants to do that, I don't have the
skills nor the time to try to acquire them, and for a <$50 card, who
cares anyway?
