Apparently udev is failing to load the correct alsa driver for your sound
card on its own, and discover 2 happens to load the right driver. This
is not a reason for us to install discover 2 by default along with udev;
it is a reason to get udev or the kernel fixes so the right module is
loaded by it. To do that you'll need to provide lspci and lspci -n
information as well as dmesg output and info about what sound card
module discover 2 loads (and possibly what unnucessary sound card module
udev loads).
