Hi Logan Have you ever hard coded the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base file with sound card names. My experience with Ubuntu is having more than one card the sound cards swap around with each other and one minute a card is sound card 1 next time its sound card 0.
It is very easy to hard code the sound cards into the alsa-base file. I have 1 machine with 3 sound cards... Sound cards 0 & 1 are known to rivendell... the 3rd one Sound card 2 is used for Audio editing using Audacity etc. With RRAbuntu the pulse audio gets disabled... installing another program called aumix is a command line volume control to adjust the volume... you just tell it which volume control to adjust. eg aumix -d /dev/mixer1 for adjusting soundcard 1's volume Cheers Geoff On Tue, Feb 21, 2012 at 9:06 AM, Logan Carmichael <[email protected]> wrote: > Apparently the old lesson of "if it ain't broke...don't fix it!" has never > sunk in with me. > > I'm currently running the RRAbuntu distro of Rivendell on a PC and I've had > little or no problems except making multiple sound cards work in order to > voicetrack on the same machine without affecting the program feed. > > My existing (working) setup included an on board Intel card (snd_intel8x0) > which was my primary playout card from RDAirPlay and for all other purposes. > I also had a PCI Audigy card that never quite worked but was in the machine > nonetheless. > > I attempted to connect a USB sound card (manufactured by NuMark) to the PC, > and I removed the Audigy card since it wasn't being used.
