Hi Jhair,
I plugged the emu10k1, and after reboot, my via onboard audio doesn't
appear anymore. The only line on dmesg is this:
VIA 82xx Audio: probe of 0000:00:11.5 failed with error -12
However, alsaconf con see both cards. The problem is, I have to choose
either one. Is there any way to keep both?
