First of all, you need alsa-base (>= 1.0.8-1), because the patches for ordering were applied for that revision. Second, your alsa-driver/kernel needs to be aware of this new ordering. So far, the Debian- and Ubuntu-provided kernels have included this patch (Sarge/Sid and Hoary+, respectively). Third, the "proper" (i.e., the way that upstream ALSA has adopted for 1.0.9, which Debian has been using since 1.0.8-1) method is to insert the appropriate line into /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base, _not_ /etc/modprobe.conf, because the presence of the latter will cause all scripts in /etc/modprobe.d/ to be skipped, and that is most definitely _not_ what you intend. The negative-mask patch that Thomas coded allows the user to tell ALSA to prefer a subset of drivers be loaded as non-primary (e.g., not card 0). In your scenario, you'd use: echo "options snd-bt87x index=-2" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base You may then either reboot, or remove the ALSA driver modules for your two sound devices manually and reinsert them. -- Daniel T.
