Soundcard not found after kernel upgrade 2.6.28-13-generic

Just use the 2.6.28-11-generic meanwhile and stay tuned with the bugreport.
The next version will come... and you can give it a new try.

You are not running an open internet-server... so the security-issues are not affecting you. (In fact it's just an ABI-change in -13, that you can ignore at all.)

Greetings

So you are suggesting I just downgrade the kernel? Okay thanks for the hint. That will work fine for me.

Has this fault been logged with the main Ubuntu Dev people, it's bound to cause a real nuisance if some people who update find their sound broken.

You could, or should, also file a bug-report. But I think the devs know about that buggy thing. You are not alone. Sadly many Ubuntu-Users are suffering by this new kernel version these days. Not only sound is broken... many different systems and symptoms are shown. Real pain in my eyes.

Actually I tried selecting the older kernel from the GRUB menu - the sound was still messed up. Is there some additional step I need to take (for example do I have to re-compile or re-install ALSA)?

Mah! You don't have (or shouldn't have) to do any reinstalls or anything.
There is something other curled up for you I think.

Give us the output of

lspci

and also of

lsmod

.

Hi midnightflash,

were you asking salimfadhley or me? Have a look at this too, it might be a connected problem:

There you can see that I could solve the problem installing alsa-driver-linuxant. Maybe this helps to find the solution for "normal" alsa.

I meant salimfadhley... sorry.

But @zasq: Is it working for you when you boot the old kernel?

Hi again.
Yesterday my usb-devices were broken again. So, installing alsa-driver-linuxant is not the solution after all. With the older kerner 2.6.28-11-generic everything works fine.

This question was expired because it remained in the 'Open' state without activity for the last 15 days.
