When I set index options if cards are ordered incorrectly, I set these as: index=0 index=1 index=2 , etc On my Debian installs, including Kubuntu, /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base, at the bottom of the file are options for abnormal drivers that try to grab card0. All of these drivers are set as index=-2 I looked in the man page for modprobe.conf, but there is no info about the values for index options. What exactly is the difference between index=2, and index=-2? Just an academic question helping me to be a bit more clued up.
