Has anybody issues with the card order after startup? I've never seen this for current Debian and Ubuntu, but right, for Suse Yast2 is able to handle it and for old Debian installs # I have multiple audio interfaces. How can I make sure they are given consistent device numbers by ALSA? As root, add lines like these to the end of your /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base file: alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1 options snd-emu10k1 index=0 alias snd-card-1 snd-rme9652 options snd-rme9652 index=1 alias snd-card-2 snd-usb-audio options snd-usb-audio index=2 In this example, a Creative Labs Audigy is set to card 0 for normal file playback, an RME Hammerfall is card 1 for jackd, and a USB midi connector is card 2. http://www.64studio.com/faq_user For my setup the sequence always is the same, just for ALSA MIDI auto connecting to the Terratecs is a little bit tricky, since they have identically names. In case of need they have to be connected manually and not by a scrip. $ hdspmixer HDSPMixer 1.6 - Copyright (C) 2003 Thomas Charbonnel <tho...@undata.org> This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY HDSPMixer is free software, see the file COPYING for details Looking for RME cards : Card 0 : RME AIO S/N 0x579bcc at 0xfdbf0000, irq 18 RME AIO found !
