Package: linux-image-2.6-686
Version: 2.6.26+17+lenny1
Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line ***
The kernel was loading snd_usb_audio rather than snd_hda_intel after
each reboot. I lived with this problem for some time, running alsaconf
after each reboot to get the sound working. Finally I investigated
further, localising the problem. I added the following line to
/etc/modeprobe.d/alsabase:
options snd_usb_audio index=-2
Which solved the problem.
I am including some information I used to localize the problem:

According to the lsmod output, both snd_usb_audio and snd_hda_intel were
and still are loaded. The Dell M1210 apparently has a built-in "webcam"
and associated microphone, and the USB audio driver is used for this
microphone. So I don't see that there is a kernel bug here.

The recommended method for controlling device numbering is documented in
/usr/share/doc/alsa-base/README.Debian.gz
It should also be possible to change the default device (without
renumbering) by setting the environment variable ALSA_CARD or editing
~/.asoundrc.
