Problem with soundcard device enumeration

[balleklorin]

I have two soundcards in my configuration a internal nvidiachip AC97 and a external USB2 Edirol UA-1000 card.

Both work fine, but somethimes my usb card is the hw:0 card and somethimes my chipset soundcard is hw:0, even though both cards are on during bootup. This is bit annoying as I have to select output device upon each boot.

Is there a way to force my chipset soundcard to always be hw:0 and my usb card to be hw:1 (if its on?)

Hey I had something similar.. read through this stuff on the Ubuntu forum..

I had to reboot twice (or maybe 3) times. After that my Extigy worked!

Unfortunately Amarok claimed it had an invalid xine engine (even though it managed to play a track and a half of music) and then it packed in replacing xine with void engine or something.

I managed to get Kaffeine working.. now playing track 2.. fingers crossed!!!
