[SOLVED]Sounds no longer works after kernel update (Audigy 4)

Updated kernel along with other updates. I have an audigy 4 (detected as audigy 2, always been that way).

It's detected if I do lspci, if I go in alsaconf it also detects it and says it should work, but if I then go in alsamixer it just comes up with my USB webcam sound mixer.
What am I doing wrong? I can't get any sound anymore and I don't even know how to start fixing it.

I also checked lsmod and the module was loaded (emu10k1), it should work, but it doesn't.

Any ideas?

Edit: Trying to launch MPD:

speng@spengpc ~ $ mpd
output: No "audio_output" defined in config file
output: Attempt to detect audio output device

I've got the same problem... is there anyone who can tell how to chance my HDA Intel 8xx back to default?

Speng, perhaps there are two sound devices on your system?.. What are the contents of /dev/snd/?

Efish, your issue is different, you've got a different card, right? And I don't get what the issue is, exactly. /etc/modprobe.d/*sound.conf?

Thanks for the replies, I am going to install the next kernel update that is released. When I have done so I will report back with my findings.

Newest kernel, everything works fine now.

Nothing more to add!
