Based on these descriptions it seems that the telephony application only connects to the first ALSA hardware device it finds, and all of the other software on your machine will use PulseAudio, either directly or using the PulseAudio ALSA emulation. > I don't think ALSA-Jack loopback scripts will work as I think > pulseaudio-module-jack does this job now. It is also possible that this unnamed telephony application is for some reason checking to make sure that the ALSA device is a true hardware device and not just a software interface. Hard to tell whether that is the case, but usually when PulseAudio is running, devices which use the default ALSA device will find the PulseAudio ALSA interface first. If it is the case that the software checks whether the ALSA interface is a true hardware interface or not then using ALSA-jack loopback may not work for that reason. -- Chris Caudle _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
