I ran into a very frustrating problem yesterday, hopefully someone in
wlug knows the answer..
Verne has 4 sound devices; onboard sound, two PCI cards, and a USB
transmitter. When I first set up breezy I had them loading as
/dev/dsp onboard
/dev/dsp1 first PCI
/dev/dsp2 second PCI
When he first got the USB transmitter it kept coming up as /dev/dsp1 and
I managed to fix that by listing snd-intel8x0 and snd-ens1371 in
/etc/modules, forcing the module for the onboard sound and two PCI cards
to load earlier.
Yesterday I upgraded to dapper and now all the sound devices come up in
completely unpredictable order, not even the same on two consecutive
boots. Even though the correct modules are still listed in /etc/modules.
Is there a proper way to force devices to get detected in the order I want?
