Hi Chris, > Just curious, have you tried leaving the indexing out for the other sound > devices? Maybe they all have to be indexed, maybe not (I never tried it). OK, I tried without indexing but the result is the same. I booted without webcam and headset. Then I connected them. After restarting ALSA the on-board soundcard is gone: ---------- dhcppc0:~# cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [I82801DBICH4 ]: ICH4 - Intel 82801DB-ICH4 Intel 82801DB-ICH4 with AD1980 at 0xeb000000, irq 217 1 [Headset ]: USB-Audio - Logitech USB Headset Logitech Logitech USB Headset at usb-0000:00:1d.1-2, full speed 2 [U0x46d0x8ce ]: USB-Audio - USB Device 0x46d:0x8ce USB Device 0x46d:0x8ce at usb-0000:00:1d.7-2, high speed dhcppc0:~# /etc/init.d/alsa reload Unloading ALSA sound driver modules: snd-usb-audio snd-usb-lib snd-rawmidi snd-seq-device snd-hwdep snd-intel8x0 snd-ac97-codec snd-ac97-bus snd-pcm-oss snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm snd-timer snd-page-alloc.
