Description:
After an upgrade from kernel26-2.6.21.6-1 to any newer version stereo sound stopped working.
With kernel26-2.6.21.6-1 all sounds (ac3/stereo/...) worked fine through spdif. After
an upgrade ac3 still works through spdif but stereo doesn't. Stereo sound now only works through
the analog audio jacks of my audigy soundcard.

I am sure nothing is muted or whatsoever. The only way I know how to fix it, is to downgrade back to
kernel26-2.6.21.6-1.

The problem I have is exactly the same as reported by oskarn in topic:

I have it working again...after a kernel update the problem was still there, but it disappeared once I had played a file as root.
So please consider this bug fixed. I am using the current kernel2.6.23 now
