To reproduce and then repair this bug do the following. Delete /var/lib/asound.state (to mimic a fresh install, when it has not yet been created) Run sudo alsactl init The sound card is probed. Alsactl reports; Unknown hardware: "Audigy2" "SigmaTel STAC9750,51" "AC97a:83847650" "" "" Hardware is initialized using a guess method A version of asound.state is created that lacks (at least) a master volume mute switch. There is no sound output. Resore the previously good asound.state, run sudo alsactl restore and the card works again. Does this mean that something (I don't know what) needs to be improved so it can recognise this card (Audigy 2 Value [SB0400)? -- No sound from any application after upgrading to Jaunty.

[Bug 406356] Re: No sound from any application after upgrading to Jaunty. I am using Dell Studio.
Sound stopped working after an upgrade from Ubuntu 8.04 (with all
patches) to Ubuntu Studio 9.04. The same hardware still worked fine in
Windows.
After MUCH debugging and a lot of learning about Linux sound, I fixed
this problem by replacing /var/lib/asound.state with a copy from a
working installation of a similar card. Many thanks to Frank Pivone on
the Linux Audio Users list.
As I understand it, alsa generates this file after probing the card and
deciding which driver to use. It seems that Ubuntu Studio 9.04 got that
wrong. Many switches that were in the working asound.state were not in
the bad one, including a mute for the master output. I didn't compare
them for level controls, only switches.
In my case the card was a Creative Audigy2 SB0400 Value and the driver
module was emu10k1.
The replacement asound.state file has controls numbered up to 227 vs
216 for the oroginal.
The following 14 switch controls existed only in the good file.
The Master Playback Switch only existed in the good file. If it exists
on the sound card and is muted by default, there would be no sound output.
There are 3 possible duplicated controls.
