When I got REALLY desperate, I'd powerdown, unplug the card, reboot, let the system deal with no sound card for a bit, making sure that /etc/modprobe.conf was empty of sound card module info (or better yet comment them out) then shutdown and carefully re-insert it, reboot and Voila`! Woot! ...der it is! The hardware dingus would automatically detect and install it brand new. It's a bit *ExTrEmE* but worked for me in a royal pinch when I was at wit's end. Ric --
