Apparently udev is failing to load the correct alsa driver for your sound card on its own, and discover 2 happens to load the right driver. This is not a reason for us to install discover 2 by default along with udev; it is a reason to get udev or the kernel fixes so the right module is loaded by it. To do that you'll need to provide lspci and lspci -n information as well as dmesg output and info about what sound card module discover 2 loads (and possibly what unnucessary sound card module udev loads). -- see shy jo
