Especially if the cards use different drivers (modules), it's easy. Just alias them in modprobe.conf (not sure about the syntax, please sanitize if needed) alias snd-card-0 intel-8x0 alias snd-card-1 emu10k1 >From then on, refer to them in this file by the alias, not by the module's name proper. > %%%%%%this one obviously needs to become snd-card-1 for instance > alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1 > %%%%%%but which 0 do I make a 1 to reassign this stuff? > alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss The first 0.
