Sorry, but if you think you need to reboot after configuration changes
then you might
need to read up a bit on how things work.
I have been using Linux since the 0.9 kernels and have hardly used
Windows since NT but I think that in comparison, it is not unreasonable
to describe sound on Linux as having "always been a major pain" and
rebooting sometimes being necessary to get things working again . . even
Windows 95 was relatively painless in this regard . .

Given your goal, I'd strongly suggest you install cadence (requires
jackd2 because
of d-bus) and enable the alsa->jack bridge.
Thanks - I will check that out.
You might even want to enable the
pulseaudio->jack bridge. That's three clicks to a working audio setup.
See Subject: - no PA . .
