          | Running RC6, I believe, on a Dell Dimension E520. I have a cheap CMedia relatively generic low-end sound card, that has been working right along.  Until this morning. Last night watching U-tube videos, sound worked fine; this morning nothing. Haven't changed anything as far as I know. 
 Onboard sound is disabled in the bios. CMedia cound card is seated properly. I ran the commands in the "sticky" post about sound cards, without finding a solution. My sound card is detected. Alsamixer says nothing is muted (except a bunch of ICE958 stuff that I don't know what it is, and the 3D control). Volumes all up. Reconfiguring sound card with alsaconf didn't help.
 
 I tried plugging in a cheap USB sound card I had sitting around. It  didn't work either. Of course, I don't know what else has to be done with those to set them up; I just plugged it in and tried it, first with PCI sound card still in place, and then without; no luck either way.
 
 Appreciate any suggestions.  Thanks.

          | I guess it would have worked, just USB was not the first device. You see that using 
 cat /proc/asound/cards
 
 Btw. when you join IRC you could get an update.

          | My little USB sound card is currently plugged into a USB port. Speakers are not plugged into it. 
 
 Code: 
ryancwrf@ryankanotix:~$ cat /proc/asound/cards
 0 [CMI8738MC8     ]: CMI8738-MC8 - C-Media PCI CMI8738-MC8
 C-Media PCI CMI8738-MC8 (model 68) at 0xdc00, irq 23
 ryancwrf@ryankanotix:~$
 
 
 I also tried this command, which I found on an ubuntu forum:
 
 
 Code: 
ryancwrf@ryankanotix:~$ asoundconf list
Names of available sound cards:
 ryancwrf@ryankanotix:~$
 
 
 Regarding IRC: an update of what?
 
 Thanks.

          | It only shows one output, thats usally correct. Check mixer settings. |

          | What do I have to do to make a USB sound card work? For example, do I need to remove the PCI sound card? Or anything else?  Thanks. |

          | Well you dont have to remove, but when you don't show the outputs i want to see nobody can you help. There are 2 ways to sort order (using .asoundrc or option to snd module). I need (before you run alsaconf or whatever): 
 cat /proc/asound/{cards,modules}

          | You ran alsaconf before, that unloads usb module. Reattach usb. |

          | The last time I ran alsaconf was several days ago. I turn off the computer each night. The code I posted above was after getting usb sound card out of the drawer and plugging it in and waiting a couple minutes. |

          | I could send you a video file of me doing it, if you'd like. Or perhaps you would like to come visit and try it yourself? Love to have you. 
 I can assure you this is exactly what happened. Just did it again, and got the same result.
