Hi, it's wise, even if somebody shouldn't experience this Intel onboard device issue, to set up a proper /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf as described by a previous mail, since even connecting an USB MIDI device (not necessarily a MIDI interface, but e.g. a remote control KORKnano or better) could cause a change of the order of audio cards randomly at startup.

When using rtirq, it's wise to edit it's config. However, usually it's possible to disable the integrated Intel onboard device, excepted of the HDMI part and even if it shouldn't be possible, blacklisting or removing drivers, instead of using the tools to optimise the Linux install doesn't make sense at all.
