alsa with multiple cards

hi,
after the recent -Syu, alsa doesn't behave like it should

first i noticed the following message during init:

Unknown hardware: "Audigy" "TriTech TR28602" "AC97a:54524123" "0x1102" "0x0053"
Hardware is initialized using a guess method

and the exact same message for hda-intel

I started messing with alsaconf and the message on init disappeared

Now the default card gets to be the hda-intel one

I even used the modprobe index options to change that. After i added those aplay -l didn't display my Audigy card even tho the modules were loaded

what am i missing?

Re: alsa with multiple cards

eh..
with this modprobe options the audigy card didn't appear anymore on aplay -l:

alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
alias sound-slot-0 snd-emu10k1
options snd-emu10k1 index=0

with this options however... i achieved what i wanted and the audigy card is default now and appears normaly under aplay -l:

alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
alias sound-slot-0 snd-emu10k1
options snd-hda-intel index=1

anyone has an explanation? is this a bug or?

Re: alsa with multiple cards

so wth is happening
i STILL didn't solve this properly

one time at startup there's no mixer elems for the -c0 card and then on restart there's no mixer elems for -c1
it even happens that both work
but it's all RANDOM!

the cards obviously have their index properly set since when they appear under aplay -l the intel ALWAYS appears as card 1 and audigy as card 0

here's the latest modprobe options i'm using [/etc/modprobe.d/50-sound.conf]:

alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
alias sound-slot-0 snd-emu10k1
alias snd-card-1 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-1 snd-hda-intel
options snd-emu10k1 index=0
options snd-hda-intel index=1
