Thank you for the kind support. I submitted a bug that I'm experiencing after updating my system yesterday.
I used a script called alsa-info v4.60 now to gather some information about sound-related systems. The output of the script is attached. I found that the system is not detecting my sound card, though it was working fine till before the update. Please advise. Best regards, Hayman
