I've just installed a new motherboard in my

some problems with the ALSA port numbering. The computer has audio on

sometimes 20:0. Very annoying!
Is there a way to force a consistent port value?
The sound card configuration utility of your distribution should allow
you to set the cards' order.
Alternatively, you can configure the card order yourself by setting
module options, in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf or wherever your
distribution puts them:
options snd slots=snd-hda-intel,snd-ens1731
(or whatever the driver name of your onboard device is)
Thanks Clemens
I have added the line just as you suggested and it seems to be fine
now. BTW, the card is no longer port 16 or 20. It's 24 now.
I added the options line at the bottom of the file. Would that make a
difference as to the port numbers. Doesn't matter, I'm happy with 24
so long as it doesn't change ... there are a lot of settings in the
file.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.4 ... and I have no idea what the sound
configuration utility is. Matter of fact, I tried to get something via
synaptic ... ended up with asoundconf-gtk but that won't run without
asoundconf. Problem with that is that there no longer appears to be an
asoundconf program. Has it changed it's name???
Best,
