Yesterday I upgraded udev to 103, but have hit some problems with alsa |
| 2 |
configuration of multiple sound cards. |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
I have an 'on board' Intel 8x0 sound card which I use for VoIP |
| 5 |
telephony, and a PCI Creative Audigy which I use to play music. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
The Audigy is configured to alsa as sound card 0, while the Intel card |
| 8 |
is sound card 1. This set up has worked perfectly for years. |
| 9 |
|

The udev 103 upgrade recommends removing coldplug. However, the alsa |
| 11 |
initialisation script (alsasound) depend on both coldplug and hotplug. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
If I remove coldplug from the boot runlevel alsasound fails, leaving |
| 14 |
only the Intel sound card initialised. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Even worse is that udev seems to discover the sound cards in the reverse |
| 17 |
order to coldplug. My Audigy card becomes /dev/dsp1 and the Intel card |
| 18 |
is /dev/dsp0. Unfortunately, Audacious, my music player of choice, |
| 19 |
doesn't seem to offer any choice of which dsp to use. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
To put it mildly, this is a major pain; I don't want to listen to music |
| 22 |
played through the VoIP headset connected to the Intel card. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Is there any way I can persuade udev to generate the /dev entries for my |
| 25 |
sound cards in a particular order, so that Audacious can continue to |
| 26 |
work with /dev/dsp0? |
| 27 |
|

Thanks in advance for any help or advice you may be able to give. |
