Public bug reported:
When I first plugged in the external sound card, everything worked fine
with no changes on settings or extra driver installations. After a few
days, the sound just stopped working.
I tried some fixes posted on the ubuntuforums but to no avail.
I tried killall pulseaudio but nothing happened. I keep trying alsamixer
but mixer doesn't exist. I tried to install the alsa driver module but
it doesn't exist.
Any help is much appreciated.
