Hi Takashi, Thank you very much for your reply. > How did you set index options? Here is what I did just now: I removed all customizations from /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base and reloaded alsa. Then all my soundcards are visible: ----------- dhcppc0:~# cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [I82801DBICH4 ]: ICH4 - Intel 82801DB-ICH4 Intel 82801DB-ICH4 with AD1980 at 0xeb000000, irq 217 1 [Headset ]: USB-Audio - Logitech USB Headset Logitech Logitech USB Headset at usb-0000:00:1d.0-2, full speed 2 [U0x46d0x8ce ]: USB-Audio - USB Device 0x46d:0x8ce USB Device 0x46d:0x8ce at usb-0000:00:1d.7-4, high speed dhcppc0:~# cat /sys/module/snd_intel8x0/parameters/index -1 dhcppc0:~# cat /sys/module/snd_usb_audio/parameters/index -1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1 ----------- The many "-1" indices for the snd_usb_audio module look strange. Is this normal? Then I appended the following lines at the end of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base: ----------- alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 options snd-intel8x0 index=0 alias snd-card-1 snd-usb-audio options snd-usb-audio index=-2 alias snd-card-2 snd-usb-audio options snd-usb-audio index=-2 options snd cards_limit=3 ----------- Then I looked at the visible soundcards and the passed index options. Unfortunately the on-board soundcard is gone again! ----------- dhcppc0:~# /etc/init.d/alsa reload Unloading ALSA sound driver modules: snd-usb-audio snd-usb-lib snd-rawmidi snd-seq-device snd-hwdep snd-intel8x0 snd-ac97-codec snd-ac97-bus snd-pcm-oss snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm snd-timer snd-page-alloc.

I would really like to help fixing this issue. Greetings and Thank you again! Ronny ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
