Comment 3 for bug 1828136

I'm a little confused here. What does audacity have to do with the fact that there is no sound after a reboot? Audacity happens to be running now...perhaps that's why it's the only program using ALSA. (Is ALSA deprecated?) But audacity does not start automatically at boot, so it is irrelevant to the problem, which is that the sound device is not even recognized until "alsa force-reload".
