[LAU] Problem with soundcards setup

Hi all, something has changed in my configuration, and my efforts to try and fix it up has made everything much worse. Please help. I used to have my internal soundcard on hw:0 and my usb card on hw:1. They are now at hw:3 and hw:4 for some reason. I would like the old setting back, so please take a look at my settings and make suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated! my .asoundrc (unchanged since the time it worked) pcm.jackplug { type plug slave { pcm "jack" } } pcm.jack { type jack playback_ports { 0 alsa_pcm:playback_1 1 alsa_pcm:playback_2 } capture_ports { 0 alsa_pcm:capture_1 1 alsa_pcm:capture_2 } } my /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf (which seemed to be a new file, which was messing up stuff, so I copied my old /etc/modprobe.d/alsa to this one, after adding the very last line, to try and get the order of the soundcards right) # Alsa kernel modules' configuration file. # ALSA portion alias char-major-116 snd # OSS/Free portion alias char-major-14 soundcore # OSS/Free portion - card #1 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 # OSS/Free portion - card #2 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 /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss # Set this to the correct number of cards. # --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- # --- ALSACONF version 1.0.16rc1 --- alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel alias snd-card-1 snd-usb-audio alias sound-slot-1 snd-usb-audio # --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- options snd slots=snd-card-0,snd-card-1 I do think I lost one line that specified how many sound cards there were in the system, but that they are now in hw:3 and hw:4 suggests there's something deeper wrong. Any ideas? Kernel 2.6.29.3-rt14 on Gentoo if that matters!
