ALSA drivers grab the first free sound card number when they're loaded unless told otherwise, so the client ID will change if drivers are loaded in a different order. In your /etc/modprobe.conf (or whatever your distribution uses), add "index" options to your drivers to force them to always have the same ID: options snd-whatever index=0 options snd-usb-audio index=1 If a driver handles more than one card, use multiple index values like this: options snd-usb-audio index=1,2,5 HTH Clemens
