Did you place the MODE file in the SYS:Devs/AudioModes directory and the DEVICE driver in SYS:Devs/AHI directory?

Have You enable the PCIEx1 slot on the Sam460ex by setting the jumper on the motherboard and changing the appropriate Setting in uboot ?.
This is detailed in the Sam460ex manual at page 8.

You can set the uboot variable from AmigaOS 4.1.
open a cli shell and type the following

nvsetvar serdes=pci-e

press enter and then power off your machine and then power back on again after 1 minute .

Just a little about how AHI opens audio boards..

Each audio driver has two parts, the driver xyz.audio is in devs:ahi, and the modefile XYZ is kept in devs:audiomodes

Every time your system boots up, if both are present, the driver will be run, and it will open and prepare whatever boards it finds.

most people keep all of their drivers there, and most of them return "I found nothing for this driver" every boot, you can see those messages if you ever hook up a terminal to the debug (serial) port. it looks something like this..

Envy24HT: No cards found! :-(
No SOLO_ONE cards found! :-(
No SB128 found! :-(
No FM801 found! :-(
No Envy24 found! :-(

This shows two things that may be useful:
AHI makes no decision about which boards to load. If the drivers are in place, they WILL be run, and the driver tells AHI whatever it found.

Also, you can see two separate drivers for Envy. There is the Envy24, and the Envy24HT
In your text you mentioned both, and might have thought they are one driver..

The good news is that for a "normal" installation, all the files needed for any of the available sounds cards should be installed and working already, unless somebody has been deleting or re-arranging your boot disk. If the board can be seen by the running computer, AND if the driver sees it as a supported type, then it should be mounted up automatically every time you boot.

Just to double-check your system, open a shell and type
Dir devs:ahi
then try
Dir devs:audiomodes
and you should see ENVY24 and ENVY24HT listed in both directories, along with a bunch of other stuff.

Good Luck,
