Unfortunaltely, I confirm Pete Graner comment. My solution finally does not work at each boot.
** Description changed: (Ubuntu Intrepid) Latest changes in ALSA brought a snd-pcsp driver (and gave its module -2 index), which loads automatically. In my case, it took place of a USB soundcard (card index 1 changed to 2, after recent changes). As configuration files (/etc/asound.conf) refer to this card numerically, sound stopped working. Sound might also become very noisy in some laptops due to snd-pcsp. cat /proc/asound/cards revealed the source of the problem (the snd-pcsp module). Suggested solution: blacklist snd-pcsp, which will eliminate this problem OR throw this module out of the kernel. - - Update : This bug could be fixed by setting back "options snd-pcsp - index=-2" to "options snd-pcsp index=-1" in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base -- snd_pcsp can take precedence of soundcards https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/242966 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
