Check that your cards are still in ALSA

cat /proc/asound/cards

I have an Audigy 2 NX and I have a lot of trouble getting it recognized and 
registered properly with ALSA.  When it works it works great, but it will not 
come up properly as an ALSA card for the rest of the session, despite 
replugging, if it was plugged in during kernel boot.

Couldn't understand what this bit was about.
