Hi Tim,
Thanks for your reply. How exactly do I set a fixed order of soundcards? I
read somewhere that I should change /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf -- is
that really the case?
Here's the output of some terminal commands:
ruviaro at bruno-toshiba:~$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC861-VD Analog [ALC861-VD Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: VSL [AudioBox 1818 VSL], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
ruviaro at bruno-toshiba:~$ cat /proc/asound/modules
0 snd_hda_intel
1 snd_usb_audio
ruviaro at bruno-toshiba:~$ lspci -v | grep -A7 -i "audio"

Thank you very much,
