USB interface stopped working after update

Thanks,
I just tried that now (addressing the soundcard by name directly --
hw:VSL), and still no sound out. Not sure it's a sound card order problem.
As you can see in the screenshot here (
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0Bz9f9_VYwS1PeVdleVhvUUx5ZDg), Jack always
"recognizes" the sound card and starts without problem. But no sound goes
anywhere in the PreSonus card.
- If I switch back to the internal Intel sound card, sound comes out of the
built-in speakers.
- If I pop in a Live Ubuntu Studio CD and boot from it, the PreSonus
interface works just as expected, out of the box.
- If I try the PreSonus interface on a Mac, it also works.
Any other troubleshooting tips greatly appreciated... thanks!
Best,
Bruno
