Hi Miroslav, Yes, I think I already have all that set up correctly. See the following info: dragonfly ~ # cat /proc/asound/modules 0 snd_intel8x0 1 snd_usb_audio dragonfly ~ # cat /etc/modules.d/alsa | grep options options snd-intel8x0 index=0 options snd-usb-audio index=1 options snd cards_limit=2 dragonfly ~ # cat /etc/modprobe.conf | grep options options snd-intel8x0 index=0 options snd-usb-audio index=1 options snd cards_limit=2 dragonfly ~ # The Intel HDA card is default. The USB device is an external USB to Optical spdif converter that runs to the external home theater receiver. All audio applications EXCEPT xine use the internal Intel card. ONLY xine is using the external USB device. (Card 1 instead of Card 0) Keep in mind that one my Gentoo-based AMD64 machine I have two audio cards as shown here and xine is working fine. Audio goes to card 0 exactly as it should. It gets mixed into the HDSP later but I can tell that xine audio is going through the 8X0 driver as it responds to the Gnome volume control and shows p on the correct input in hdspmixer.
