Karmic broke sound: usb hercules Gamesurround Muse Pocket LT

Asked by xaviblas on 2009-11-09

I have a Lenovo X60s, my internal soundcard don't work since two years. it's:

00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)

i'm using since then the external usb card:

Hercules Gamesurround Muse Pocket LT

and worked great until upgraded to Karmic. Now i have no sound :(

I upgraded alsa to 1.0.21:
