What does "1 to be set right" mean? Alsa's sound device count starts
with 0. So you want

2 shall be 0
1 shall be 1
0 shall be 2

?

This has abslolutly nothing to do with the alsamixer but with the
way udev assigns the sound devices. Please have a look at
/usr/share/doc/alsa-base/README.Debian.gz to get an idea how the
order is done.

You need a file in /etc/modprobe.d/ where the order has to be
defined.

Please send the output of
$ cat /proc/asound/cards

and

$ lsmod | grep snd

with all devices pluged in.

Well it does ;)
