[Alsa-user] Debian, module-init-tools and the naming of cards

2009-10-18 Thread Jim McCloskey
A recent Debian upgrade (to current testing) broke my carefully constructed solution to the problem of consistent naming of multiple cards. Like many others, I had a file in /etc/modprobe.d/ which assigned a fixed index to each card as the relevant module is loaded: alias snd-card-0

Hello, and happy holidays to everyone. I recently installed an M-Audio Audiophile 2496 in my home desktop, and in light of the very helpful discussion that took place on this list about a month ago have been able to get it working. Sort of. For the first 10 to 15 seconds of playback, the audio

Like Dan Star (see recent posts), I'm trying to get the Edirol UA-1EX USB card to work and having no luck. I bought it because I read the Alsa Soundcard Matrix as saying that it was supported. This is on a laptop with an onboard Intel soundcard, so I have this in a file in /etc/modprobe.d/:

I have to throw myself on your collective mercy again. I'm really happy with the improved sound I'm getting under ALSA with the Turtle Beach Santa Cruz. But lord lord, the ALSA learning curve is a steep one. I've spent too much of the last two days trying to do something that I did routinely
