An idea, for anyone trying an install with mini.iso. While in the installer execute a shell near the beginning of install and examine the contents of /etc/asound.conf then repeat the execute a shell near the end of the install and repeat the examination of /etc/asound.conf. I'll need to run mini.iso again and do both examinations but when running the examination once I noticed a couple lines with something like slave card =0 on them. I would have expected slave card=2 since card 2 is where I have my speakers and card 0 is where I have my headset. It will be interesting to see if that changes on second examination here.
