I've been having great difficulty making linux correctly choose the default sound card when it boots. I have a via thingy on the motherboard and a SB Live in a pci slot. I want the SB Live to be the default sound card, but sometimes it is and sometimes it isn't.
What I used to do in the past was to use alsaconf, but this has been dropped from Ubuntu, so I have tried tweaking /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base in various ways, but nothing has worked. My latest /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base is pasted below. I would be very grateful if someone could help me. Many thanks Robert # autoloader aliases install sound-slot-0 modprobe snd-card-0 install sound-slot-1 modprobe snd-card-1 install sound-slot-2 modprobe snd-card-2 install sound-slot-3 modprobe snd-card-3 install sound-slot-4 modprobe snd-card-4 install sound-slot-5 modprobe snd-card-5 install sound-slot-6 modprobe snd-card-6 install sound-slot-7 modprobe snd-card-7 # Cause optional modules to be loaded above generic modules install snd modprobe --ignore-install snd $CMDLINE_OPTS && { modprobe\ -Qb snd-ioctl32 ; : ; } install snd-pcm modprobe --ignore-install snd-pcm $CMDLINE_OPTS &&\ { modprobe -Qb snd-pcm-oss ; : ; } install snd-mixer modprobe --ignore-install snd-mixer $CMDLINE_OPTS &&\ { modprobe -Qb snd-mixer-oss ; : ; } install snd-seq modprobe --ignore-install snd-seq $CMDLINE_OPTS &&\ { modprobe -Qba snd-seq-midi snd-seq-oss ; : ; } # options snd-emu10k1 index=0 # options snd-via82xx index=1 # Cause optional modules to be loaded above sound card driver modules install snd-emu10k1 modprobe --ignore-install snd-emu10k1 index=0\ $CMDLINE_OPTS && { modprobe -Qb snd-emu10k1-synth ; } # install snd-via82xx modprobe --ignore-install snd-via82xx index=1\ $CMDLINE_OPTS && { modprobe -Qb snd-seq ; } options snd-via82xx index=-2 # Load saa7134-alsa instead of saa7134 (which gets dragged in by it\ anyway) install saa7134 modprobe --ignore-install saa7134 $CMDLINE_OPTS &&\ { modprobe -Qb saa7134-alsa ; : ; } # Prevent abnormal drivers from grabbing index 0 options snd-bt87x index=-2 options snd-atiixp-modem index=-2 options snd-intel8x0m index=-2 options snd-via82xx-modem index=-2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
