Asl3 changing usb ports every time asterisk is restarted

[mjc4502]

Hello,
I decided to upgrade from Hamvoip to ASL3 running on Debian 12 on a Lenovo Thinkcentre M710Q with 4 nodes.
404240 is on UHF simplex (Motorola CM200)
404241 is on VHF simplex (Motorola CM200)
404242 is on 220 simplex (Retevis RT9000)
404243 has repeater builder RL-20 - tone remote - Zetron dispatch console ( Believe it or not, i used to have a working Motorola Centracom II Console !)

The computer has 2 USB ports on the front and 4 ports on the back. I was able to connect the radios/console up to the appropriate USB ports however, when i restart asterisk, the ports keep changing.
Is there a way to make each port the same so when Asterisk is restarted, the ports wont change?

Thank you

Can you run the output of asl-find-sound, reboot, and then run it again and provide both results. I suspect what’s happening is your system has two USB root hubs and at initialization they don’t start in the same order every time.

before rebooting, this is what i get:

1-5:1.0 → 0d8c:013 C-Media Electronics Inc.
1-6 1.0 → 0d8c:013 C-Media Electronics Inc.
1-7 1.0 → 0d8c:013 C-Media Electronics Inc.
1-8 1.0 → 0d8c:013 C-Media Electronics Inc.

after rebooting

1-5:1.0 → 0d8c:013 C-Media Electronics Inc.
1-6 1.0 → 0d8c:013 C-Media Electronics Inc.
1-7 1.0 → 0d8c:013 C-Media Electronics Inc.
1-8 1.0 → 0d8c:013 C-Media Electronics Inc.

After shuffling the USB cables around so that the correct node number matches the correct radio, i rebooted the computer and restarted asterisk. it seems to not change the USB ports around.

So far, the USB ports didn’t change.

Now to go on to other issues lol!
