[repost due to original not appearing] Hi, I finally installed a Debian snapshot kernel that uses ALSA 1.0.16 rather than a 1.0.16 release candidate version, and had the pcsp (PC speaker) driver block the loading of an nForce2 sound card driver until I blacklisted pcsp. There has been some discussion on this before in this list but I'd like to know if there is any consensus amongst ALSA developers on handling snd-pcsp intelligently. In an even bigger wishlist department, how one can easily make a selection between several sound cards in a machine as to which one is default and which other ones still have drivers loaded? The machine in question has: /etc/modprobe.d$/sound: alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 options snd-intel8x0 index=0 alias snd-card-1 snd-mpu-401 options snd-mpu-401 index=1 alias snd-card-2 snd-usb-audio options snd-usb-audio index=2 alias snd-card-3 snd-fm801 options snd-fm801 index=3 and now has: cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [nForce2 ]: NFORCE - NVidia nForce2 NVidia nForce2 with ALC650F at irq 21 1 [UART ]: MPU-401 UART - MPU-401 UART MPU-401 UART at 0x330, irq 10 2 [U0x46d0x8d9 ]: USB-Audio - USB Device 0x46d:0x8d9 USB Device 0x46d:0x8d9 at usb-0000:00:02.0-1, full speed 3 [FM801AU ]: FM801 - ForteMedia FM801-AU ForteMedia FM801-AU at 0x9400, irq 16 Note that there is *not* a clear mapping between names in /proc/asound/cards and snd-* modules used. Has anyone come up with a solution to help with the selection of default cards and appropriate black-listing if needed?
