I will check arch and be back with information later today or tomorrow. One thing I forgot to mention is that when this system boots up, the first speakers to click on are the large usb speakers and this is no different in talkingarch either April 2014 version.

I haven't yet mastered udev rules writing yet so don't yet do anything to those files until I understand that process.
