Re: changing soundcards

[Rynhardt Kruger <rynkruger@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

You can change the default card for the current shell by setting the value of the ALSA_CARD environment variable.

Example:

export ALSA_CARD=1 # will use the second soundcard on your system for all alsa programs launched in the same shell.

You can also do it on a per-program bases:

ALSA_CARD=2 espeak "some text" # will make espeak use the third soundcard on your system

To have it set system wide, create the file /etc/asound.conf, containing the following line:

defaults.pcm.card=1

This will make all programs on the system use the second soundcard.

Note that all of the above asume that pulseaudio is not running. If you use pulseaudio, you will have to change the soundcard in the pulseaudio settings application.

Regards,

Rynhardt

Hi.
I don't really want to modify config files.
I just want to change soundcard.
For example if I've got two in the computer I want to choose wich card to use.
I'll look into this. Last time I had my machine running I got no amixer at all.
I ended up using aumix.
