Hi Ben, Thanks for the reply. Situation is as follows: my motherboard has an onboard soundcard. I own several PCI card soundcards. I tried them all, all to the same result. If I have besides the onboard card one PCI soundcard in the system (so 2 soundcards in total) the sound system does not give a sound at all on any card. All mixer settings are lost. I have to run "alsaconf" on every occasion to enable sound on the onboard card. IIRC (but it has been a while since I tested) sound on the PCI cards never works. The issue seems to be driver related as dmesg contains errors before I do a thing. I think the issue kicks in the moment the driver for a PCI card is loaded and it starts conflicting with the onboard card. On the first releases of 2.6.26 stock kernel things worked fine. All kernels since then / up till now have this issue including the kernel currently shipped with Lenny.
