Well, that was a hostage to fortune. Today, after a reboot and power cycle for maintenance work, I'm back to having no sound. I suspected the devices of having been detected in the wrong order, but /proc/ asound/cards seemed to be pointing to the right one. Besides, it seemed unlikely that a USB device would be found and set up before the device in the display controller. Next was to blacklist all the intel* modules and reboot again. Just the one card found now, the USB device. Still no sound. Have I to go the PulseAudio route after all? -- Regards, Peter.
