Okay I'm having problems with alsa. Alsa won't find my soundcard even tough it just recently worked fine 0.0 . 

 $ aplay -l : 

aplay: device_list:268: no soundcards found...

 

lsmod | grep snd:

try lspci | grep Audio? could it be broken by a kernel update? What exactly did you chance since it was working until it stopped. If it works on an ubuntu live cd or so, open it and see the output of lsmod there and see if you find a difference also see dmesg | grep snd and check if there are any errors while loading the modules

Well this is awkward.. It just started to work again by it self. I didn't do anything other than restart before the problem started. And yesterday when I tried restarting it didn't work. o.O
