Sound card stopped working. [Solved]

[notzippy]

After a weekend update my sound card seems to be AWOL, in dmesg I am seeing many errors like

Code: Select all

[   60.131676] alsa-sink[8377] general protection ip:7f30a43452cb sp:7f30a42f1bf0 error:0 in libasound.so.2.0.0[7f30a42f3000+d9000]

And I am getting a prompt to "forget about these devices"

Code: Select all

Capture: HDA ATI SB (ALC888 Analog)
Capture: USB Device 0x46d:0x825 (USB Audio)
Capture: USB Device 0x46d:0x825 (USB Audio)

cat /proc/asound/cards

                      USB Device 0x46d:0x825 at usb-0000:00:12.2-3.1, high speed

My systems hardware has not changed so I am confused about these errors, any thoughts ?

thx

Thanks for the suggestions, will try another reboot and see if issue still persists..

There was another couple of updates that installed (sorry dont know which packages thought they were unrelated), then after a reboot I noticed there was no errors in dmesg. I checked the audio, set it to built-in and volia sound again..
