Oldie but a goodie methinks. Looks like having a USB audio device(mine is a ION USB Turntable) connected when rebooting is still hosing up the audio card detection on system startup. I have an Intel compatible audio device using snd_intel8x0 on the motherboard. To work around this issue, I had to disconnect my USB audio device, rmmod and modprobe the snd_intel8x0 module and then reconnect my USB turntable. I remember something like this issue from at least a year ago, is it non-trivial to fix? Sean
