The PCI card drivers are loaded when udev starts and the hotplug events cause the kernel modules to load. For these cards, the card index number (card 0 == default card) is assigned inside modprobe.conf: alias snd-card-0 snd-via82xx options snd-card-0 index=0 options snd-via82xx index=0 You could *probably* push the USB audio device in at index 0 by: alias snd-card-0 snd-usb-audio options snd-card-0 index=0 options snd-usb-audio index=0 (don't forget to edit the entries for the AudioPCI entry to alias as snd-card-1 with option of index=1) But it might not work like that. Try it, see if it works. -- rob andrews :: pgp 0x01e00563 :: rob@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
