Re: [TriLUG] ALSA and card ordering

I believe the alsa devices get ordered by the order the modules are inserted. If you change that order such that the sound card is loaded first you should be fine. How you do that, depends on your distribution. I would add the TV card to /etc/hotplug/blacklist so it doesn't get loaded automatically, and then just load the module manually somewhere after hotplug has done its thing. Or perhaps add the appropriate information to modprobe.conf so they get loaded automatically when needed.

Hey gang. I just upgraded my kernel from 2.4.24 to 2.6.8 and in general
things are working fine. But somehow the order of the two sound cards in
my machine got switched. That's a problem because the one that's now
"first" is actually the sound subsystem of my TV-in card, and doesn't have
any way of playing sound to the speakers. So the system beep, RealPlayer,
etc. (apps that don't have a specific way of specifying card 1) don't
work.

Any ideas on how to tell the system to load the real sound card as card0
and snd-bt878 as card 1?

Thanks.
