Hello,
Just to be sure, please attach /etc/modprobe.d/soundcards.conf to
your next post
OK, here it is:
options <intel_hda> index=0
options <snd_oxygen> index=1
It should be:
options snd_hda_intel index=0
options snd_oxygen index=1
Thank you, I have made the change but still the order is random.
Should I add the lines to /etc/modprobe.d/local.conf which already exists?
I know I might be going off track here but, it seems that the file
/etc/modprobe.d/local.conf is not doing anything either.
That file contains the line
options speakup synth=soft
and was created by the debian installer.
However, commenting the line out, and speakup still starts so the soft
synth module must be being loaded from somewhere else.
I now have the second sound card working so by plugging the speakers in
to the other card, I can still get speech but it would be nice to have
this working properly.
Only other thing I can think of is whether the /etc/modprobe.d directory
is being overridden by some files in another place.
I do appreciate your taking the trouble to help with this, thank you again!
Best regards,
Didier
And type as root:
chmod 644 /etc/modprobe.d/soundcards.conf
although it has probably these permissions already.tried that but no
change.
One more thought, can there be more than one .conf file in
/etc/modprobe.d as I have one called local.conf as well which loads
the speakup_soft module?
Best,
Didier

Hello,

So I have now specified MID in /etc/default/espeakup and that
does cause espeakup to start with speech each time the system boots.
However, the card ordering is still very random which means that
although espeakup is always working, if the cards load so that
MID is not 0, I get no other system sounds and orca does not work
in the gui.
So, I suppose what I should be trying to achieve is to cause the
sound cards to retain their correct numbering so that all sound
works following a reboot.
To do this, type:
cat /proc/asound/modules
0 snd_oxygen
1 snd_hda_intel
You will probably get two lines in the output (one for each card),
with
the card number on the left an the associated kernel module name
on the
right of each line.
Just create a file as root a file /etc/modprobe.d/soundcards.conf
with
two lines:
options <first module name> index=0
options <second module name> index=1
replacing <first module name> by the name of the module for the
card you
want to be loaded first and <second module name> by the other card's
module name, both spelled exactly as in the output of:
cat /proc/asound/modules.
This way, the cards' order will stay the same across reboots.
Unfortunately, this has not worked, I have created
/etc/modprobe.d/soundcards.conf but there has been no change.
The only thing I can think of it whether I may need to change the
permissions of soundcards.conf?
Thank you for your help, it is appreciated.
Best,
Didier
PS the name of the file in /etc/modprobe.d doesn't matter, but it
has to end in .conf
