(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.

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.
