@Daniel T Chen: No. Nor do I have any other softmodem packages such as hsfmodem, which sometimes include Alsa drivers.
A little experimenting has shown that I can get the driver to reload just by logging out and in again. If I do that, I get the "drums" just prior to login, but not the post-login tune. So far, it seems like the driver stays loaded until I try to change settings with the Sound preferences applet. -- Hardware device disappearing from Sound Preferences https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/465942 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
