3 edits | [WORK AROUND] 10 restarts since hw(x),2 not shown upWORK AROUND: If you have Windows and Creative Labs X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro USB, if you wish to restart Ubuntu to make changes to your system, boot into Windows, restart your system, and boot into Ubuntu. It worked for me.
--------------------------
I'm using Cadence (KXStudio) which is a JACK frontend and at first I was in luck when I went from Windows 8 to Kubuntu 12.04 Alpha 1, I had to restart when I can't bring my display back up (probably due to screensaver or something so I've disabled it). After the next restart, hw2,2 is missing. About 10 restarts later, and hw2,2 is still not shown up. I could attribute to the module not loading up correctly, but I'm not sure if that's it.
Here's the question: how do I know which module is associated with hw2,2? I need to force the module to load up in specific order so that I can get hw2,2 back up and working. I tried hw2,1 in duplex mode, but JACK won't start. Not even hw2, or hw1, or hw0, depending on which X-Fi sound card it's assigned so. Specifically, I'm using Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro (USB). It's a black device with the volume knob in top and a very bright blue light in the front. For 5.1 in Windows with Dolby Digital Plus, I use optical output to my mom's receiver.
I'm using Akai MPK25, so if I disable duplex mode, I cannot use my keyboard, but JACK does start. Enable duplex mode, and JACK will not start.
So this is what I have for X-Fi:
hw:0 [SB X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro]
hw:0,0 [USB Audio (duplex)]
hw:0,1 [USB Audio #1 (playback)]
or
hw:0 [SB X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro]
hw:0,0 [USB Audio (duplex)]
hw:0,1 [USB Audio #1 (playback)]
hw:0,2 [USB Audio #1 (playback)]
or
hw:1 [SB X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro]
hw:1,0 [USB Audio (duplex)]
hw:1,1 [USB Audio #1 (playback)]
or
hw:1 [SB X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro]
hw:1,0 [USB Audio (duplex)]
hw:1,1 [USB Audio #1 (playback)]
hw:1,2 [USB Audio #1 (playback)]
or
hw:2 [SB X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro]
hw:2,0 [USB Audio (duplex)]
hw:2,1 [USB Audio #1 (playback)]
or
hw:2 [SB X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro]
hw:2,0 [USB Audio (duplex)]
hw:2,1 [USB Audio #1 (playback)]
hw:2,2 [USB Audio #1 (playback)]
or ... You get the idea. HDMI Audio does appear as hw0 sometimes.
HDMI Audio and HD Audio (STAC92xx) resides in my laptop, they randomly get dynamically loaded up. While I'm not using HDMI Audio, I do sometimes use my built-in sound card just to play some sounds, but if I'm using headphones, the sound can come through my headphones AND my laptop speakers but the speakers does sound muffled at the high frequencies when the headphone is plugged in, so that's why I'm using my X-Fi sound card.
The laptop I'm using is HP Pavilion dv7-6168nr or something but I'm unsure if it's "nr" or "nl." Note that I have no way of disabling analog/HDMI sound card in the BIOS.
I'm going to try restarting my laptop as many times as I can in order to get hw(x),2 shown up. In the meantime, I'll list the "cat /proc/asound/cards," lspci, lsmod, and lsusb output here. "Generic" is HDMI Audio, and "Generic_1" is STAC92xx.

Update: Okay, after I got tired restarting my laptop for 13th time, I booted into Windows and back into Kubuntu and presto! I got hw2,2 shown up for X-Fi. So I've selected hw2 for X-Fi and all is well until I restart Linux again. Perhaps you guys might want to see the snd_ portion of lsmod:
