Don't use device indexes for identifying audio devices. It's a pointless excercise. You break hotplug of future devices that way. Use device names, as shown in /proc/asound/cards. If you are not happy with the names you could even change them via /sys/class/sound/card0/id and some udev rules. > options snd-ice1712 index=0 > options snd-ice1712 index=1 This does not work.

"Locked"? What do you mean by that? Please explain exactly what does not work. > I have to have the cards in a specific order, but maybe there is another > way? No you don't. Using device indexes is a bad idea. Don't do it. Use device names. Also, please don't send HTML email to this mailing list, thanks!
