Title:
  22.04 LTS: alsa-library + PulseAudio won't detect my USB sound card

Status in alsa-lib package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  ALSA+Pulseaudio have always been difficult with USB Sound.  In order
  to make it work under the best of circumstances, one would have to
  edit

      /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

  And comment out any line that said

      options snd-usb-audio index=-2

  Without commenting that out, PulseAudio cannot detect the card.

  Now, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS worked for a while with that change.  Until
  Roughly the last week of September, 2022.  A normal update got pushed
  which disabled my sound card.

  Alsa-lib version: 1.2.6.1

  In /var/log/syslog:

  Oct 02 14:33:56 patchwork alsactl[1000]: alsa-lib
  main.c:1412:(snd_use_case_mgr_open) error: failed to import hw:1 use
  case configuration -2

  After two weeks of effort, and attempts to roll back to an earlier
  version of 22.04 LTS, I scrubbed the root partition and reverted to
  20.04 LTS which works right.

  Samples of output from my exercise can be found here:

      https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2479484

  Again, Xubuntu 22.04 LTS worked (after the alsa-base.conf edit) fine,
  Until the end of September update.

  The above thread on ubuntuforums.org has samples of lsusb, syslog,
  output from various ALSA utilities and PulseAudio utilities, brands
  and models of USB sound DACs tried, alsa-version output, and so on.

  If you need me to, I can build a throwaway system to get you any
  further information you want, but I'd rather not scrub a fully
  configured root partition *again* to go through this effort.

  linuxquestions.org showed that a search on "failed to open hw:1 use
  case configuration" or subsets of that phrase will show this bug.

  The tip of the ALSA development chain release notes for a while back
  shows no effort put forward to fixing this problem.  What works is
  Alsa-lib version 1.2.2.
