Binary package hint: pulseaudio

Running a live-usb. My sound card is external, connected via usb. A built-in card is physically broken (cracked audio-out jack), so after an installation, I added these lines to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf .

The same setup works fine in Karmic (and before).

In my "sound preferences" "hardware" tab I can see my sound card. It is selected and "analog stereo duplex" profile is selected in settings (just as in karmic). However, "input" and "output" tabs don't have a correct content. In the output tab, there's only "Dummy Output, Stereo" option. In the "input" tab, input volume is greyed out and there's nothing in "choose a device for sound input" section.
