There was absolutely no confusion in my system. After some discussion on the alsa-user list that eventually switched over to the alsa-devel list a workaround for the current shortcomings was found. All I actually had to do was to add the following two lines to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base: -------------- options snd-intel8x0 index=0 options snd-usb-audio index=-2,-2 -------------- It took me two months and four different forums/mailing lists to find out... I still think that it is the job of the desktop environment to search the configured soundcard at startup instead of letting poor users change system configuration files as root to hardcode the soundcard order. What do you think of the proposals I made here: http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-linux&m=116803699028792&w=2 Is there any developer here who can give some feedback? Are those proposals realistic? (I would help designing, testing and documenting this feature with the help of a KDE developer.)
