Unfortunately, it seems there's yet another bug in how alsa handles usb devices. I have 2 usb devices. No matter how I specify things, the card that gets invoked is the first of those two. Now, if I were really clever, I suppose I'd know how to write udev rules to insure that the Sennheiser gets a lower card ID than the C-Media device. This really should be an exact science, but my experience says it's anything but. Sigh. Janina Chris Brannon writes: > Janina Sajka writes: > > > Hi, All: > > > > If you use Linphone on Arch, beware.
