Re: [Alsa-user] AudioTrak Prodigy HD2 - either no volume control, or no sound

[greenender <gre...@gm...>]

I found the solution by accident. Here is what you need to do, to have
AudioTrak Prodigy HD2 working properly in Alsa:

1) On the card, set jp4 jumper to on (connect the two pins) - it's located
directly above the ENVY chipset.
2) in alsa-base.conf (/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf), add line: "options
snd-ice1724 model=prodigyhd2"
3) Restart your PC

Now the card is properly recognized, and volume control works.
