This should probably be better explained: I have to sound cards: an intel internal one and an Advanced Logic (AL) one attached to the PCI bus. Normally, the internal one is recognized first and then the AL one one, but I use the following lines in /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf (a file I created) to have the AL sound card be first (because that's the one I prefer to use):
alias snd-card-0 snd-als4000 options snd-als4000 index=0 alias snd-card-1 snd-hda-intel options snd-hda-intel index=1 This works as is seen by the /proc/asound/cards file on this system: [05:22][jose@jose-desktop: /etc/modprobe.d]$ more /proc/asound/cards 0 [ALS4000 ]: ALS4000 - Avance Logic ALS4000 Avance Logic ALS4000 at 0xb400, irq 17 1 [NVidia ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia HDA NVidia at 0xfe024000 irq 22 [05:22][jose@jose-desktop: /etc/modprobe.d]$ It is also reflected in the sound properties dialog as is seen in the screen shot I'm attaching, However, even if I have selected the AL card in the dialog and then log out. When I log in the intel card is *always* selected as is also shown in the screen shot, which is not what should happen. ** Attachment added: "Screen shot of the sound properties dialog" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/827399/+attachment/2293119/+files/Screenshot%20at%202011-08-19%2017%3A27%3A03.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/827399 Title: gnome-sound-applet doesn't remember the chosen output device between logins To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/827399/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
