Alsa always makes device 0 the default device in the absence of instructions otherwise. If there is hdmi audio on the video card, it usually takes that position, because video loads before sound, and the digital seems to load before analog. So, you could have used pavucontrol to set a different default. But you can also do that in an .asoundrc file in your home directory. I've lost the skill of creating those through lack of use, but you should be able to find examples on the web. If you use the plugin dmix, you will even have primitive mixing with alsa. No need to be without sound anymore. You can test if any of your devices work, by making sure they are connected to speakers of some sort, and running the command aplay -D plughw:2,0 [a wav file] You can find the number to put where the 2 is by running the command aplay -lv to see what order alsa put your devices in; it's the card number at the start of the line. Check that everything is turned on in alsa with alsamixer -c [card number] _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
