I found the "priority" values in {analog-input-mic.conf, analog-input-internal-mic-always.conf, analog-input-internal-mic.conf}, and switched the "87" and "89" values. Now pacmd-list-sources shows priorities that suit me: analog-input-microphone-internal: *Internal Microphone* (priority *8700* , available: *unknown* ) analog-input-microphone: *Microphone* (priority *8900* , available: *no* ) However, even though the priorities look fine, the behavior at startup is still the same: "Internal Microphone" is still preferred to "Microphone". --> Could it be due to the fact that "Microphone" is flagged "available: no"? --> If yes, how can I work around this? If no, any other idea? Any solution putting "Microphone" first will do, I don't care the least about "Internal Microphone". Thanks for the help! -- Ronan Jouchet
