To reproduce and then repair this bug do the following.

Delete /var/lib/asound.state (to mimic a fresh install, when it has not
yet been created)

Run

        sudo alsactl init

The sound card is probed. Alsactl reports;

        Unknown hardware: "Audigy2" "SigmaTel STAC9750,51"
"AC97a:83847650" "" ""

        Hardware is initialized using a guess method


A version of asound.state is created that lacks (at least) a master volume mute 
switch. There is no sound output.

Resore the previously good asound.state, run

        sudo alsactl restore

and the card works again.

Does this mean that something (I don't know what) needs to be improved
so it can recognise this card (Audigy 2 Value [SB0400)?
