Sound card code always changed randomly

I use Dietpi Native PC on mini PC BeeLink. And after rebooting, sound card id always change but randomly. First time hw:1,3 hw:1,7 hw:1,8 than next time change to hw:0,3 hw:0,7 hw:0,8.
Than after rebooting I should change sound card from dietpi-config

So card 0 is USB audio and card 1 is HDMI
You can change your alsa conf to the following, if you want to use USB:

pcm.!default {
    type hw
    card Audio
    device 0
}

ctl.!default {
    type hw
    card Audio
}

Then restart alsa
sudo systemctl restart alsa

Thanks for your suggestion. If I want to use HDMI, how to modify config?

Thanks

Then just change the card type from Audio to PCH and select the HDMI output you wanna use, like:

pcm.!default {
    type hw
    card PCH
    device 3
}

ctl.!default {
    type hw
    card PCH
}

Still change randomly after twice rebooting. Before this hw:0,3 hw:0,7 and hw:0,8, after rebooting it changes to hw:1,3 hw:1,7 and hw:1,8. Where set 0 and 1 for soundcard?
Thanks
