I mistyped it, sorry. Here is my alsa-info.sh, feel free to ask for more info: http://hastebin.com/kaleqeqibo.vhdl --- On 11/07/2012 06:42 PM, David Henningsson wrote: >> 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"? > > This means that you have not plugged your microphone in.

Okay, following up with Raymond Yau, who asks me my alsa-info.sh >> --> If yes, how can I work around this? If no, any other idea?

Commenting didn't work, but I added 'state.plugged = yes' and 'state.unplugged = yes' to the [Jack Mic] section for the input I want. Now it is always detected as plugged and the priority thing works :) Thanks! -- Ronan Jouchet
