2.6.35.3 Hardware Audio devices not in Pulse/Alsa

I use Pulseaudio and up to this update it worked well. Now Pulse works with my USB Soundcard but it doesn't recognize (it's not even listed as a source in the manager) my HDA Intel card.
The card seems to get detected somehow as I can do "cat /dev/urandom > /dev/audio" and hear the expected white noise from the speaker plugged into the internal card. Is there some easy way to find out which devices alsa sees and test which work?
Btw. the USB audio works over Alsa so this ain't broken completely and I can also see HDA Intel in alsamixer when switching sound cards with F6

My HDA Intel card isn't recognized anymore as well. Definitely seems to be related to the update.

For me "alsaconf" as root solved the issue

Running alsaconf as root also worked for me. I was getting errors when starting alsa at boot with the 2.6.35 kernel upgrade.

Sometimes when the driver for your specific card has changed (alsa-level) you'll need to reconfigure.

Please mark [solved].
