Hello,
I am using ubuntu studio 19.04 and I have a 16 port powered usb hub and 16 usb sound cards.
This much works fine - they are all listed when i type 'aplay -l' and i can get sound out of each of them.
The issue is that the usb devices don't always load in the same order so following instructions from this site (https://alsa.opensrc.org/Udev) I am attempting to write a UDEV rule to give them a unique / static ID based on which port (DEVPATH) they are plugged into. My udev rule looks like this:
SUBSYSTEM!="sound", GOTO="my_usb_audio_end"
ACTION!="add", GOTO="my_usb_audio_end"
DEVPATH=="/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.0/usb1/1-1/1-1.2/1-1.2.3/1-1.2.3.4/1-1.2.3.4:1.0/sound/card?", ATTR{id}="USB_1"

LABEL="my_usb_audio_end"
and this sort of works, but only for the first 9 usb devices I plug in.
The strange thing is that it doesn't matter which 9 - I can plug any of the 16 cards into any of the 16 ports and the first 9 will always follow the udev naming rule, but after that it reverts to the default naming scheme.
Can anyone help me understand why this might be happening?
Many thanks
