Chuck, A few things. I'm going to assume you're using straight ALSA and not Jack or otherwise.
Start off in a terminal and type: cat /proc/asound/modules This should give you a list of the audio cards that ALSA sees. It'll be a list something like the following: $ cat /proc/asound/modules 0 snd_hda_intel 1 snd_usb_audio Next, it sometimes helps to lock this audio card order in place via the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf file. If the file exists on your computer (you'll need to be root to edit it) then you may need to edit it. If the file does not exist then you may need to create it. Use the Options line(s) to lock the card order in place. For example, the above can have the Intel and USB order being 0 and 1 by having the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf file looking like this: options snd_hda_intel index=0 options snd_usb_audio index=1 Once you've set up your /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf file then when you reboot the audio card order should always be what you specified. Then set up your card(s) in rdalsaconfig Double check your /etc/asound.conf file - I've found that a number of onboard chipsets need the rate line to specify the bitrate, and older versions of rdalsaconfig didn't always put that line in there. You'll need to be root to add this line if it is missing. Add the line for all the audio cards in your setup and use the same sample rate for all your cards. So for example: pcm.rd0 { type hw card PCH device 0 rate 48000 <-- This line is sometimes missed } ctl.rd0 { type hw card PCH } Once this is done, restart your rivendell services and see what you get.
