Two USB sound cards - which is which?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have a system with 2 identical USB sound cards:

athena:/proc/asound# cat cards
 0 [Audio          ]: USB-Audio - USB Audio
                      C-Media INC. USB Audio at usb-0000:00:1d.2-1, full 
speed
 1 [Audio_1        ]: USB-Audio - USB Audio
                      C-Media INC. USB Audio at usb-0000:00:1d.3-1, full 
speed

The problem is that I can't tell which is which.  Every time the system 
boots the cards move around.

Since they're identical I can't tell them by usbid:
athena:/proc/asound# cat card[01]/usbid
0d8c:0001
0d8c:0001

I wrote a script to tell them apart by usbbus, but it seems that the bus 
numbers themselves keep changing.

athena:/proc/asound# cat card[01]/usbbus
003/002
004/002

The only thing that seems constant is /proc/asound/cards, but alas it's 
not in a format that can be easily parsed by a script.

Is there some machine readable way to tell these cards apart?
