Am now using a Dell Lattitude 7270, i7 processor 16Gb ram.
Am trying to setup Ubuntu Studio but I cant seem to get the OS to use my Focusrite USB soundcard. In a terminal I get;

I have edited /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and changed;
options snd-usb-audio index=-0
to
options snd-usb-audio index=-1
This used to work on my PC but this laptop is not reacting the same way. Have now disabled the onboard sound in the bios, rebooted but no joy.. In /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf I have noticed new (to me) lines above;
# Ubuntu #62691, enable MPU for snd-cmipci
options snd-cmipci mpu_port=0x330 fm_port=0x388
# Keep snd-pcsp from being loaded as first soundcard
options snd-pcsp index=-2
# Keep snd-usb-audio from beeing loaded as first soundcard
options snd-usb-audio index=-1
and am wondering if it is these I need to change the value of? Have tried a search on the net for these lines but have found no explanation for them..
Any ideas folks?
