Had to reboot my server/workstation this morning and lost the sound. I've
worked through the trouble shooting section of the wiki, but need some
expert help in figuring out what got lost. Running 2.6.19.2 kernel
lspci reports:
00:06.0 Multimedia audio controller: nVidia Corporation MCP2S AC'97 Audio
Controller (rev a1)
but I cannot load the intel8x0.ko driver.
/proc/asound/cards has:
0 [U0x46d0x8ad ]: USB-Audio - USB Device 0x46d:0x8ad
USB Device 0x46d:0x8ad at usb-0000:00:02.1-2, full speed
Running '/usr/sbin/alsactl restore' produces:
ALSA lib conf.c:1587:(snd_config_load1) _toplevel_:167:69:Unexpected char
/usr/sbin/alsactl: load_state:1221: snd_config_load error: Invalid argument
I don't know what to do about that.
lsmod shows:

Cannot successfully run alsamixer. There's no aumix, either (but it used to
work just fine.)
I'd appreciate some suggestions on where to begin figuring out what I lost
and how to get it back again. In addition to the speakers in the monitor, I
had loaded the USB sound drivers for the boom headset to be used with Ekiga
for telephone and video conference calls.
