Check with aplay -l I've had this problem with shifting sound devices because of the video (hdmi) device being recognized before the other audio devices. This makes sense, since the video has to be initialized early in the boot process. It is a race condition. Wolfgang's suggestion that you use pavucontrol to set the default sound device is a good one. That way, no matter the order that they are initialized in, pulse will always use the device you want as the default output device. You can also change the alsa default device in /etc/alsa/alsactl.conf However, if the order of sound devices changes with every boot, that will be problematic. You can put a file in /etc/modprobe.d to specify the order of devices explicitly, but that is more complex. Basically, put stanzas like the following for each device. alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel id="SB" options snd-hda-intel index=0 changing the card description to reflect the information from aplay -l and setting a different index number in the range 0-7 for each of them. The file name doesn't matter as long as it is unique for that directory, but choose something descriptive so you recognize it. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
