Try this solution (from my ALSA-solution on Debian; I've removed pulseaudio): As root determine the sound card number you want to use as the default sound card by issuing the shell command # aplay -l Save and replace your /etc/asound.conf by the following one and replace therein the "card" number. Reboot Verify that the virtual device named "default" is listed under # aplay -L In your applications set the audio device to "default". Flash plugin by default uses the "default" device, but for vlc in ~/.config/vlc/vlcrc one must manually disable the following entry by putting a # in front of the line alsa-audio-device= This solution also allows multiple apps to share the same sound card at the same time. # /etc/asound.conf # All AV-apps should/must use the device "default" for sharing to work pcm.mymixer { type asym playback.pcm { # See plugin:dmix at http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/alsa-lib/pcm_plugins.html type dmix ipc_key 10001 ipc_perm 0660 ipc_gid audio slave { channels 2 pcm { type hw card 1 } } } capture.pcm { type null } } pcm.!default { type plug slave.pcm "mymixer" } ctl.!default { type hw card 1 } ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
