kernel downgrade from 2.6.28.1-1

I have to downgrade from 2.6.28.1-1 to the last previously installed kernel (can't remember the call letters) but the kernel just before 2.6.28.1-1. Unfortunately I removed it from my system too soon, and now have critical sound problems which must be solved.
Can anyone point me to a repository that still has the previous kernel?
Thanks

Out of curiosity, what are your critical sound problems, and are they already known and reported?

Re: kernel downgrade from 2.6.28.1-1

I have a usb headset that worked perfectly with the previous kernel. Now is is recognized in dmesg but not in the system. Since this is the device I use on Skype for business, it puts me in a very difficult spot. Unfortunately i ran pacman -Sc without thinking. I also have a 2496 sound cards which is recognized and works as before. No bug filed by me, but a lot of sound problems with the upgraded kernel.

I see you already posted a thread there : http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=63747
Your two posts are about the same issue so please don't create more than one thread.

Before thinking about downgrading, you should report a bug, otherwise how will it ever be fixed?
