</div>Yeah, specifically:<br>
<br>
cat /proc/asounds/cards<br>
<br>
where I think you'll find you have a sound card you don't know about<br>
(perhaps the analog capture portion of the HD-5500?). The problem is<br>
that the cards get different device numbers depending on when they<br>
initialize, so they could change at every boot. You need to lock the<br>
desired card to card 0.<br>
