markwolfe Veteran Posted February 18, 2004 Veteran Share Posted February 18, 2004 Why do you need them to be in different orders? If you are using a program that you want to have access a different system, you probably can specify which dsp to use. (either from the command line, or a config menu on a GUI program).

j005u Posted February 19, 2004 Author Share Posted February 19, 2004 i realize that, but since i want to use my current dsp2 for all things id like it to be default (aka dsp0)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kongit Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 there is no reason for it besides giving yourself a hard time. switching it over will not (well should not) have any effect over the quality of the music. I'd just leave it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwolfe Veteran Posted February 19, 2004 Veteran Share Posted February 19, 2004 Well, you can probably disable your onboard sound, and that will eliminate one of your dsps. Not sure what your second one is. But, basically, unless you need all three of them, I would disable the others, so the one you want is guaranteed to be default. I am sure that there is a more elegant way at re-ordering them, but I don't know it. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j005u Posted February 19, 2004 Author Share Posted February 19, 2004 hm, well (i) idea :p since the default device for everything is /dev/dsp and that is by default a link do /dev/dsp0 how can i change that link? or how could i smimply disable loading the sb?

rezza Veteran Posted February 19, 2004 Veteran Share Posted February 19, 2004 you could (as root) delete /dev/dsp, then do a ln -s /dev/dsp1 /dev/dsp that'll link /dev/dsp to /dev/dsp1 for ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah! A symbolic link might do the trick for you! After all, that's how most Linux systems I know select different kernels. They have the vmlinuz symlinked to the current vmlinuz-2.x.xx-xxxx file. You can select one of the others manually, but the default of vmlinuz will be directed to one of the longer-named ones! Let us know if that works. Pretty good idea, and worth trying!
