This should Just Work - I've never had to use alsaconf, and > my distro (Ubuntu) no longer ships it. for example, the Gentoo user mailing list is full of questions like "I did follow the excellent Gentoo ALSA user guide, but I still get no sound." How can a user who just bought a USB audio device make it the default device? How can a user interested in JACK easily find the right settings for his card? How does (or why must) a user know which module to use for his card? How can a user disable a certain card? All this is of little interest for myself, I have learned how to set up my system. But new linux audio users should never be in need to edit config files manually in vi. Best regards ce
