I am also experiencing the same problem with gnome-sound-properties (not retaining) my default soundcard preference.
The same existed in breezy which never got resolved by a bugfix. I had to set snd-emu10k1 to index=0 in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base to get it to be default (card 0) , and snd-cmipci to index=1 for second soundcard. This dosn't seem to work anymore in Dapper though. There should be a dependable way to force these preferences - like setting soundcard-name=index=0 in ./asoundrc or /etc/asound.conf This is a serious issue to me not a trivial one. I have to turn off the cmipci sound on the soyo MB in bios to fix it now , and I Need that second sound card for my audio recording work. -- [Dapper] gnome-sound-properties always defaults to first card https://launchpad.net/bugs/44101 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
