I have the same problem with my sound card now. The card was working fine, before I had to reboot the box because of a power failure in the area. Now there is no sound and I have two unique keys for the sound card. My question like yours is where the keys are kept so that I can delete the duplicate and restore the sound.
TIA
Look under /var for a hardware directory. The problem with this directory is there are many files and they only, of course, show the unique keys. So, one often has to go and trudge through each file to see which piece of hardware it represents - aka a long drawn out proceess to say the least,... argh.
I do remember in the SBD there were articles about removing the unique HW keys for sound related problems. I can't, but seem to vaguely remember that there's perhaps another place where these keys are kept. But, that might have changed since this article related to an earlier OS version and may not be pertainent any longer. Good luck, have a look at the SDB as well post any thing you may have found, not resolved, etc.
Cheers, Curtis.
