I have a laptop with builtin sound (yamaha ymfpci) that works fine, and also a usb sound card that I use for higher quality sound for my Hifi.
The problem is that hotplug and kudzu load the "audio" driver for it, alsa loads the correct driver "snd-usb-audio", then the "audio" driver blocks the card and alsa doesn't see it.
The solution/workaraound
1) manually change all the entries in /etc/modprobe.conf that refer to "audio" to refer to "snd-usb-audio"
2) manually add "audio" to /etc/hotplug/blacklist
3)edit /etc/hwconf to change all references from "audio" to "snd-usb-audio"
Cheers,
Rolf
