Default soundcart

[thomasK]

I have 4 audio devices in my system, cat /proc/asound/modules shows this:

0 snd_ice1712
1 snd_hda_intel
2 snd_ice1712
3 snd_usb_audio

Everytime I start ubuntu 10.11 this order of devices is changed. How can I set a default soundcart?

Greetings

In ubuntu at least, the file you have to add the line to is /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
I suggest you use the "slots" method. At least it works for me with two audio cards (ice1712 and hda-intel).

Code: Select all

options snd slots=snd-ice1712,snd-hda-intel

Not so easy in your case (as you have two ice-1712's) but it that is also explained in the wiki.

In any case, in qjackctl, you can use the card name instead of the number, for example, I have in /proc/asound/cards :

Code: Select all

 0 [M2496          ]: ICE1712 - M Audio Audiophile 24/96
                      M Audio Audiophile 24/96 at 0xbc00, irq 22
 1 [NVidia         ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia
                      HDA NVidia at 0xfe77c000 irq 17

Look at the names between the square brackets. In qjackctl, interface field, I have:

hw:M2496

This way, even if the cards change numbers, jack always grabs the m-audio.

Cheers, Pablo
