Default sound device


Hey everyone,

I'm running Slackware 13.37 and I'm having issues setting the default sound device, or even keeping a persistent sound device between reboots.

I have a built-in Via sound card that I'm using. This worked great until I needed to use a mic with half decent noise reduction which I had lying around - Logitech Rockband Mic. When I shut down my PC and turn it on, the USB mic because the default sound device. I've tried selecting a different sound card in Alsa using alsamixer and alsaconf. I don't know how to fix this issue except rebooting with the USB Mic unplugged, then plugging it in once it's booted up.

Any ideas?

You can set up the priorities in /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf

Something like below -
Code:
options snd-via82xx index=0
options snd-usb-audio index=1
The above makes the sound card using the snd-via82xx modules as the first sound card, and usb-audio as the second audio device.

See this post, specifically post #5. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...3/#post3485381

It's the same method disturbed1 suggested above.
