Re: [linux-audio-user] Two sound cards - module loading and signal routing

Two questions... First, I've got two sound cards in my system: ICH4 845G/GL Chipset AC'97 Audio Controller 0 [I82801DBICH4 ]: ICH - Intel 82801DB-ICH4 Intel 82801DB-ICH4 at 0xffaff800, irq 17 Module: snd-intel8x0 Sound Blaster AudioPCI64V/AudioPCI128 1 [AudioPCI ]: ENS1371 - Ensoniq AudioPCI Ensoniq AudioPCI ENS1371 at 0xdc00, irq 18 Module: snd-ens1371 The first "sound card", number 0, is on the motherboard. I can't get it to load as card number 1. /etc/modules.conf makes no difference in this regard. "snd-card-0" and "sound-slot-0" seem to be ignored. I've tried lots of variants in modules.conf to get this to work, and tried various orders. Here's a simple case: alias snd-card-1 snd-intel8x0 alias snd-card-0 snd-ens1371 Is there a way to get this to work? My second question might be related to the first. If I disable the on-board sound card, then all but one sound related thing works for me. Audio in/out works, MIDI in/out works, speakers work. Playing a CD does not produce sound no matter what the application (cdp, Kscd, xmcd). If I enable the on-board sound, then I can play CDs fine, but the output comes out of the on-board sound card. I'd like to reroute the CD sound to come out of the SoundBlaster PCI sound card. How can I do this?
