I was a bit befuddled at first with the 5 sound cards presented by arrowing on the first screen. I got, pch, device, hedset av710, and lastly UR22mkII. It took a minute to grok that pch was the builtin Intel810, and that Device was my CE-Media USB "device." Maybe it's just a first time reaction, but I was wondering about numbering them? Not suggesting that, just thinking aloud at this point. I did come upon an error that I should explain before posting the output. I have a sixth card present that has not been working with recent kernels. It's my original RME Multiface that I've had for some 15 years now. I'm not sure why alsa sometimes sees it, and sometimes doesn't. lspci lists it, but also currently doesn't see it. It's defined as card 4 in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf. The sixth card is showing up in sam as the fifth, the Yamaha UR22mkII which is defined as hw:5 in alsa.conf. Selecting it gets: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/sam", line 206, in mixers=alsaaudio.mixers(card) alsaaudio.ALSAAudioError: No such file or directory [hw:4] So, what I'm surmising is that any of my 3 USB audio cards, if pulled, might similarly confuse things. I'll plan on testing this. At the moment getting at "Device" and "Headset" to do the test is physically awkward.
