Every single fedora release, and sometimes even just from an update where there wasn't a full release, the sound devices get renumbered or renamed. The last time I tried to play a movie and send the sound to the optical output connected to my receiver, this worked: pacmd set-card-profile 1 off mplayer -vo gl_nosw -ao alsa:device=hw=1.1 -ac hwdts,hwac3, -monitoraspect 16:9 -fs "$@" I tried it last night for the first time in a while, and it doesn't work. I've had to fiddle this script over and over again every time sound devices change. When are we going to get immutable names for sound devices? If they can do it for ethernet ports, surely they can do it for sound cards, right? (Though come to think of it the "immutable" ethernet port names change in every release as well :-). -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
