Sorry, I haven't read your message completely and I thought it was a reiteration of Tim's original question. I think Tim will be alrite with the alsa-base.conf solution, but your problem is trickier. Andras 2011/9/5 Ingo > That's what I was thinking, too. But it doesn't work like this. > The de

That's what I was thinking, too. But it doesn't work like this. The devices I create with udev show up in /dev. But the devices used by /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf : snd-emu10k1 snd_intel8x0 do not show up in /dev. That means the sound device names are created somewhere else. Names that I cre

http://alsa.opensrc.org/MultipleCards should give you a few clues, and there's probably some advice elsewhere specific to your distro. On 3 September 2011 21:33, tim vets wrote: > How do I have pd select the correct sound card, regardless of what device > numbering it gets from alsa? > The proble

How do I have pd select the correct sound card, regardless of what device numbering it gets from alsa? The problem is now that for some reason, the device listing of my sound cards and midi devices keeps changing quite often. After a reboot, it is often the case that pd tries to connect to the wron
