I can't believe this issue is still out there.

I had to revert back to Jaunty because this issue could not be worked around in Koala. I've now upgraded to Lynx (10.4) because I thought a fix had been found. But I still get zero sound.

aplay -l lists Maudio 2496 as only sound card. I've disabled the onboard sound in BIOS

I've added "options snd-ice1712 model=audiophile" to the alsa-base.conf file

When I go to alsamixer, I have a full array of choices, all of which look "on", but I have no clue really how to set things in alsamixer, or in sound preferences for that matter. The Maudio2496 is recognized everywhere I look, but I get no sound.

I've tested it by booting into windows, and get full sound capability over the same card. I note that people refer to the "fix on #30" but if that refers to the 30th posting here, I do not understand it sufficiently to implement it.
