To make sure that each card gets its proper card number even when the driver modules are loaded in a different order, check that each driver has the "index" option set in /etc/modprobe.conf, e.g.: options snd-intel8x0 index=0 options snd-intel8x0m index=1 options snd-usb-audio index=2 > * After a reboot the mixer settings are never restored, all > controls are set to 0.

No. > Should I have installed drivers of the same version as the lib? Usually yes, but when you're using different kernels it's best just to use the latest lib. HTH Clemens
