How did you do this (MCC?) and why was it necessary? Is the ENS1317
your onbaord sound card?

Now if you were 94.825 % sure I'd could prolly help...but since your
only 94.81%... 8~) (Sorry...couldn't resist)
I'd do some Googling on Udev. Lee cites this in a folowing post and
although I'm a MDK user, I'm not familiar with Udev at all. It's a new
thingy. And I think 10.1 is the first release to use it in MDK?
Try looking at your modprobe.conf and seeing if there is anything funky
going on there as a result of turning off your card the first time;
"hard drake" can do some odd things at times in detecting new
hardware...or what it perceives as new.

I try not to think and it works for me! Having not thought about
that...let me not think about this; I doubt your mouse or monitor had
bumpkiss to do with anything here but I can only be 94.81% sure about
that. (eh-hem)
