Choose the "Delete ALL capture cards" option and re-enter them. Enter 
them in the order you want the system to use them. Tuner 1 will always 
be used before tuner 2 etc. (Except if watching Live tv and you have 
checked the option to ... can't remember and not gonna go look.)
Deleting them one at a time is not the same and will result in even 
higher tuner numbers being assigned. You must use the Delete All option.

I could not get my sound to work at all when I upgraded from 9.04 to 
9.10 until I removed pulseaudio.
