I forgot to mention, at the moment actually no Envy card is installed
and this are the only settings:

[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
# ALSA module ordering
options snd slots=snd_hdspm,snd_ice1712,snd_ice1712

[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ rtirq status

  PID CLS RTPRIO  NI PRI %CPU STAT COMMAND	
    3 TS       -   0  19  0.0 S    ksoftirqd/0	
   14 TS       -   0  19  0.0 S    ksoftirqd/1	

[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ cat /etc/conf.d/rtirq|grep -v "#"

RTIRQ_NAME_LIST="snd_hdsp snd_ice1"

RTIRQ_PRIO_HIGH=90

RTIRQ_PRIO_DECR=5

RTIRQ_PRIO_LOW=51

RTIRQ_RESET_ALL=0

RTIRQ_NON_THREADED="rtc snd"

Before the card can be used, there's the need to run 'hdspmixer'.
'hdspconf' does not work for this card, but some settings are available
by 'alsamixer'.
