For example my card is card 0: H71 [Hoontech STA DSP24 Media 7.1], device 0: ICE1712 multi [ICE1712 multi] but according to this bug other cards such as M-Audio type cards are affected too.

I followed the directions and can still hear the sound of the internet, the sound test utility and I will be testing other aspects of my playback\/recording system.  I am so happy to have sound working on my Ubuntu\u00a0 desktop because I plan to start exploring Pure Data next and it would be convenient to be able to use it on the desktop. On my laptop, I have to unplug everything again to take it to different locations. My desktop can become a maze of interconnections and I don't have to touch it.
