Thanks Andy That is my problem [flinn@flinn ~]$ cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [CMI8738MC6 ]: CMI8738-MC6 - C-Media PCI CMI8738-MC6 C-Media PCI CMI8738-MC6 (model 55) at 0xd400, irq 18 1 [Headset ]: USB-Audio - Logitech USB Headset Logitech Logitech USB Headset at usb-0000:00:10.2-2.1, full speed But how do I change the order?
Look in /etc/modprobe.conf
in mine I have:
alias snd-card-0 snd-sbawe
alias snd-card-1 snd-ens1371
...that sets the order. My Soundblaster awe64 is first and my ens-1371 is second, even though the install wanted to make the ens the first as it is PCI and the awe64 is old timey ISA... it just sounds ALOT better and I chose to make it first.
I've not used an USB sound device, so I do not know for sure that a module is loaded for it at all. but if one is, then modprobe.conf should be the place to tell the system to load it first. Of course, I could be completely fricking wrong, and USB is handled different, but you got my troubleshooting with a shotgun approach, as well as my two cents. <chuckles> Ric
