The card has two separate channels for left and right, and those still work with 1.0.17. But for volume control in applications I can use only one, so I added the softvol plugin. Another way would be to combine those two channels into a new virtual one, but I don't know if that's possible. I'm not sure if it's possible to reproduce without a ICE1712/Envy24 card; I guess the softvol plugin still works for other cards. One thing I noticed is that libasound2 in unstable is still at 1.0.16. Perhaps I'll try 1.0.17 from experimental later when I have some time. But this bug is really puzzling. The only relevant differences between the 1.0.16 and 1.0.17 packages seem to be in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base, and as far as I could see none of the changes are even relevant for my card. For reference, those are the snd-modules I use (with 1.0.16): snd 47780 39 snd_ice1712,snd_ak4xxx_adda,snd_cs8427,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_i2c,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_pcm_oss,snd_pcm,snd_mixer_oss,snd_seq_oss,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq,snd_timer,snd_seq_device snd_ac97_codec 100804 2 snd_ice1712,snd_intel8x0 snd_ak4xxx_adda 8640 2 snd_ice1712,snd_ice17xx_ak4xxx snd_cs8427 8320 1 snd_ice1712 snd_i2c 5256 2 snd_ice1712,snd_cs8427 snd_ice1712 59076 17 snd_ice17xx_ak4xxx 3968 1 snd_ice1712 snd_intel8x0 29604 0 snd_mixer_oss 15240 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_mpu401_uart 7768 1 snd_ice1712 snd_page_alloc 8584 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm snd_pcm 63468 9 snd_ice1712,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm_oss 36544 0 snd_rawmidi 20160 2 snd_mpu401_uart,snd_seq_midi snd_seq 48824 6 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_midi_event snd_seq_device 7380 5 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq snd_seq_dummy 3460 0 snd_seq_midi 7008 0 snd_seq_midi_event 7112 2 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi snd_seq_oss 30864 0 snd_timer 20700 7 snd_pcm,snd_seq As I said, when I have some time, I'll experiment a bit, and see if this list changes with 1.0.17.
