How to I use udev (and hotplug?) to disable this unused ATI sound chip
and to select my onboard Nvidia sound chip?
Try /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
Add the ATI module to the list, that should do it.
Juha,
Yes, that worked. Just to make a close loop, I am posting what I did
here:
lsmod did not show any ati driver for anything, but did show
snd_ha_intel and since I know I am not running an intel sound chip and
the sound device is listed as ATI HA with lspci, I ran rmmod
snd_ha_intel and I had sound.
I added "blacklist snd_ha_intel" to the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and
rebooted. It came up with sound, and my selected "sound device" for
gkrellm volume was still active (previously, gkrellm would not have any
volume controls after a reboot).
Another solution would be not to disable / blacklist it but to stop it
from becoming the
default sound device by putting a line at the bottom of
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base like this
options snd-ha-intel index=-2
I have to do something similar to stop the microphone in my webcam from
randomly becoming master, it has the advantage that you can still use
the device when / if you want / need.
Good luck
