So if you're running pulse, you can make definitions in .config/pulse/default.pa. If you're running alsa, I think you need to make your definitions in /etc/modules-load.d, where you can make a configuration file that lists hardware ID's and modules in the order you want them. The way you can have mpv use the pulse definitions is something like audio-device=pulse/alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo in ~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf. You see how it doesn't use /dev/hw:whatever? This way, it doesn't matter the order the cards come in, it uses the actual sink name instead of the hardware name. ----- Original Message ----- From: Chime Hart <chime@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: Rob Hudson <rob_hudson_3182@xxxxxxx> Cc: blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx Date: Sun, 8 Dec 2024 20:12:45 -0800 (PST) Subject: Re: My Sound-Cards Are out of Order Again > Hi Rob-and-thanks for a rapid reply: I think I am useing both, although I > prefer alsa, but we have I think pulse running through vlc for an audio editor. > When I type paplay or aplay, they both play in the same card.
