Hey I just rebooted my PC the first time after the new kernel update.
Now sound is not working anymore at all... But the soundcard (Audigy 2 ZS) is still recognized (e.g. via alsamixer), and kmix does not give any error message. Everything seems to work fine, except the fact that there is no sound. Of course I already checked if I muted anything by mistake. Sound is working on Vista (dualboot), so the hardware is alright.
Any hint what could be the problem?
PS: I stressed the kernel update in the first line, because I strongly suspect it for being the cause of the problem. The other updates were not that important (samba...).
But I would like to hear other opinions.
Greetings, yodo
Edit: Ok, I manually compiled and installed an older kernel (kernel26-2.6.27.8-1) and sound is working again. It was definitly the kernel's fault! The version(s) I had (have) problems with were kernel26-2.6.27.10-1 and also kernel26-2.6.27.9-1 which I tried before kernel26-2.6.27.8-1.
Any other users with the same problem?

Yes, same problem here (same sound card, 32-bit though). Thanks for the workaround!

Same problem here. I got Audigy 2 ZS, too. Downgrade to kernel26-2.6.27.8-1 worked for me.

Thanks! But actually rebuilding the kernel did not fix anything (for me) - at least not rebuilding kernel26-2.6.27.10-1 or kernel26-2.6.27.9-1. Sound only works after a downgrade to kernel26-2.6.27.8-1 (or below I suppose).

My Audigy 2 ZS works fine after running alsaconf.. not sure what it changed, but now the audigy works here with kernel26-2.6.27.10-1 on x86_64.

My audigy 2 ZS wasn't working until I went into Alsamixer and switched 'Audio Analog/Digital Output jack' (I haven't the faintest as to whether it was in the [off] or [on] before, but switching it made my sound come back, so I'm not complaining)
I thought it was kinda strange at the time seeing as everything worked until the kernel update.
Such is life. : )

Wow, that works for me too!
With 'Audio Analog/Digital Output jack' switched on sound worked on previous kernels including kernel26-2.6.27.8-1. Sound did not work with the option switched off there.
It seems that this button has to be switched off for sound working with the latest kernel.
>> Why??? No idea...
