On my Debian desktop I created the following file: $ cat /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1 options snd-emu10k1 index=0 alias snd-card-1 snd-intel8x0 options snd-intel8x0 index=1
The emu10k1 is a PCI sound card and the intel8x0 is the onboard sound. I have the emu10k1 connected to my speakers while the intel8x0 is connected to my HF amateur radio for various digital communication modes. This arrangement has served me well for several years. I can still plug in a USB inteface and use the Pulse Audio Volume Control application (pavucontrol package) to direct the playing application to it. - Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
