If you go to edit->preferences it comes up in the devices tab. About a third of the way down the page is playback device and recording device. If you click on the selection arrow, you should find default and pulse, and all your other devices. Mine are set to default, but if yours is set the same and it still isn't working, then try pulse. Default selects the default device that is the interface between pulse and alsa, usually device 0, which in your case is what you want, the analog hardware. However, given that the default from your initial data was device 12, default might not work in your case. Try that, if it still doesn't work, it probably isn't going to be trivial to get your setup working because there is probably a reason that device 12 was selected as default instead of device 0. It will require finding that reason and correcting it, if possible. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
