snd_hda_intel, VT1708 Sound Card issue at Boot Up,

Hello there,

Since a week or two (after an update) my sound card isn't at the right order; therefore I cannot play any sound. Let me explain furthermore, I have an USB Webcam with microphone, and a ASUS P5Q Pro Turbo equipped with a VIA VT1708 S sound card.

I followed the "Advanced Linux Sound Architecture" guide and everything was working sweet until that update, no the USB Webcam is always (if plugged in while booting) the default sound card.

Here is my /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf

#
# /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf (for v2.6 kernels)
#
options snd_hda_intel

So at the moment, I do start up with the Webcam unplugged, but I would like to fix this issue as the webcam is needed very often.

Many thanks for your time and help.

Yes I did, but doesn't change anything as snd-hda-intel doesn't support indexing.

Seems I resolves the issue,

here /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf

#
# /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf (for v2.6 kernels)
#
## Before ###
#options snd_hda_intel
## test new config ##
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias snd-card-1 snd_usb_audio
options snd-card-0 index=0
options snd-hda-intel index=0
options snd-card-1 index=1
options snd_usb_audio index=1
remove snd-hda-intel { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 0 >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-hda-intel
