Unless specified, if there is more than one device, they can alternate at startup. Alsa can get confused between modem/soundcards and soundcards. So run either aplay -lLv or cat /proc/asound/cards to look at the devices that alsa knows about. alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1 options snd-emu10k1 index=0 alias snd-card-1 snd-usb-audio options snd-usb-audio index=1 to /etc/modprobe.d/sound or /etc/modprobe.conf on your system to specify which card becomes which device, changing the snd-??????? entries to reflect your actual devices from the commands above.
