Hi, I have several (three) soundcards in my box. One cmipci-driven card, one fm801 driven card and an onboard chip. With devfs, the cmipci-card is configured as the first card, like it should. With udev, the cmipci card is only card No2 or 3 .. and that gives problems. cat /etc/modules.d/alsa alias char-major-116 snd alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss alias snd-card-0 snd-cmipci alias sound-slot-0 snd-cmipci #alias char-major-116 snd #alias char-major-14 soundcore #alias sound-service-1-0 snd-mixer-oss #alias sound-service-1-1 snd-seq-oss #alias sound-service-1-3 snd-pcm-oss #alias sound-service-1-8 snd-seq-oss #alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm-oss #alias snd-card-1 snd-fm801 #alias sound-slot-1 snd-fm801 # --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- #alias char-major-116 snd #alias char-major-14 soundcore #alias sound-service-2-0 snd-mixer-oss #alias sound-service-2-1 snd-seq-oss #alias sound-service-2-3 snd-pcm-oss #alias sound-service-2-8 snd-seq-oss #alias sound-service-2-12 snd-pcm-oss #alias snd-card-2 snd-intel8x0 #alias sound-slot-2 snd-intel8x0 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.have several soundcards 2.have one of them configured in /etc/modules.d/alsa 3.use udev Actual Results: The fm801 card is the first card in the system.

Hi, one more information: when I restart alsasound after the boot, the correct card (the cmipci based one) is configured as the first and only one. But it is cumbersome, to log in as root after each boot, to restart alsa, only to have sound.
udev does not care at all about /etc/modules.d/ You should write some custom udev rules to always name your devices properly, the modules.d files do not apply at all.
Hi, hmm, I am a little bit puzzled now. Because the modules are load in the wrong order and alsasound does nothing about it, when started. Or is this an alsa bug? Should /etc/init.d/alsasound remove the sound-modules on start, so the /etc/modules.d/alsa setting 'get through' even when /etc/init.d/coldplug was started?
