Indeed, there's /more than one way to skin a cat/ and using an asound.conf to |
| 11 |
order sound devices for alsa is not absolutely necessary. Removing modules |
| 12 |
for any unwanted devices will of course disable them and alsa will |
| 13 |
automatically pick up whichever device is left. |

I tend to use asound.conf to make sure the order of devices is respected |
| 16 |
whatever DE I tend to boot into at any time, however, I do not need to |
| 17 |
permanently disable devices like Peter may want to. |
