how to fix the order of sound card detected

[Markus Mitterhofer]

Hi,

I have the same sound card and had the same problem. After each reboot the card
number changed. This worked for me:

Add a few lines to the end of the file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base

# Load soundcards in the right order
options snd-ice1712 index=-2
options snd-intel8x0 index=-1


In this case the Maudio card gets loaded after the onboard sound. If you want it
the other way around just change -2 and -1
Check with  lsmod  for the name of your onboard sound module.

I hope this helps.

Markus
