[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#626508: snd-virtuoso fails to autoload at boot

[Dean Hamstead]

Package: alsa-utils
Version: 1.0.23-5+b1
Severity: important

i have an asus xonar dx2 sound card. in times past the snd-virtuoso driver was loaded automatically at boot. for some reason it now isnt.

if i load it manually, everything works fine.

i suspect it may be related to the pci-id being in both the snd-virtuoso snd-oxygen drivers. although banning snd-oxygen doesnt help

im scratching my head wondering what could be going on? 

if i boot back a kernel or two, i get nothing now as well - which leads me to suspect a problem in the alsa-utils (or related packages)
