The USB drivers get loaded before the sound drivers. You'd have to modify your init scripts. Or try something like "pre-install audio viaxxxx". The recommended solution is, of course, to use ALSA: alias snd-card-0 snd-via82xx alias snd-card-1 snd-usb-audio options snd-via82xx index=0 options snd-usb-audio index=1 > The other thing is that control over which device gets used seem to be > flakey.

If it works with audio, it will work with snd-usb-audio, too. (ALSA's soundcard matrix hasn't been maintained lately.) > PPS: Anyone know of any good "CD Player" app that supports CDDA?

I often work in the console, without X, so I have a script that pipes the output of cdda2wav into aplay. :-) HTH Clemens
