You should change it to something like: 1. snd-intel8x0m: index=0 2. snd-atiixp-modem: index=1 3. snd-via82xx-modem: index=2 I think the -2 says to take the first available slot, but not sure. This specifies that your soundcard will always be device 0, regardless of the order the devices are loaded; that order varies on every boot. This is good because the alsa default device is device 0, so sound should always work.
