Comment 43 for bug 178442

I think the problem in #42 might be a actually a new bug. I have an m-audio audiophile 2496 and had sound working in jaunty, but now after upgrade to karmic there is only spdif sound output and no analog output.

In the pulse audio volume program I can only chose from digital outputs, the analog outputs just aren't listed.

This might be a new problem in the latest alsa in karmic as removing pulseaudio also results in digital-only output.

@Florian:
For the time being I've installed OSSv4 folowing this guide:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSound

This works for me and I have perfect sound now. Even multiple streams work fine just nog esd(but i don't care about that)
