[Dclug] Sound cards, alsa, etc

[eric]

This thread reminds me I've been meaning to ask for advise for my own
sound card issue.  I'm running ubuntu 7.1 and my card loads about every
other time I boot up.  If it doesn't recognize the card, I shut down and
restart, and more often than not, the card is there.  Any thoughts on
such an intermittent problem?
