Alsa problem


I installed Debian testing (2.4.27-1-386) with all of its Alsa packages
(apt-get install...) so, afaik, I should get full support of my audio card
(Terratec EWX24/96 i.e. ice1712).
During boot the card gets well detected (Detecting Harware) but then, when "Starting Alsa" comes out, I can see an error message stating "no soundcard found".
If, as root, I use alsaconf I get the message "No supported PnP or PCI card found".
But using lspci I get (amongs the rest):

0000:02:0d.0 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies Inc. ICE1712
[Envy24] PCI Multi-Channel I/O Controller (rev 02)
Subsystem: TERRATEC Electronic GmbH: Unknown device 1130
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 21
I/O ports at df80 [size=32]
I/O ports at dfa0 [size=16]
I/O ports at df60 [size=16]
I/O ports at de80 [size=64]
Capabilities: [80] Power Management version 1


I found many posts with suggestions about OSS drivers preventing Alsa driver to load if loaded before it, but that does not seem to be my case, as lsmod prints out:

so I don't see any sound driver loaded.

Any ideas?

I can see soundcore which is good, but have you tried just modprobing the ice1712 module? Then fire up kde and open kmix and see whats there (or alsamixer if you like). Also, i get that same message when my computer boots...

error message stating "no soundcard found"

But, my card still works. So i don't think that's the issue.
