Hi Richard, You asked, "Is there a way to make sure a consistent name is presented to PulseAudio?"
I think I might have a solution that has worked for me. It has even corrected a few minor USB Sound Card issues with WSPR. I have my motherboard sound card disabled in BIOS. I use a USB Sound Card as my default Sound Card. In the alsa-base.conf file I force my USB Sound Card to use slot O. If you open, and edit up /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf you will see the line(s): #prevent abnormal driver from grabbing index 0 options snd-usb-audio index=-2 I edit the number -2 to 0 (zero). My line looks like this: options snd-usb-audio index=0 Also... notice the line at the bottom in alsa-base.conf: #keep snd-usb-audio from be(e)ing loaded as the first sound card options snd-usb-audio index=-2 I edit mine to look like this: #options snd-usb-audio index=-2 I comment out the line with a # then... Reboot. Oh... do not forget to edit as "root", or "sudo". In Ubuntu... sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf This might help you. These edits have helped me with pulseaudio in wsjtx and wspr. If these edits do not work for you, you can revert back to the original alsa-base.conf with your text editor. Give it a try. 73, John, N1ISA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
