Congratulations, Joe. To All, I starting having some kernel faults with 2.6.24.7-1.rt3.2.fc9.ccrmart, so I rebooted back to 2.6.27.7-53.fc9.i686. Running without realtime was working for me, so why not? But as soon as I rebooted back into 2.6.27.7-53.fc9.i686, all sound output was defaulted back to the motherboard speaker again. This was without having alsa-plugins-pulseaudio RPM installed. Okay. I've noticed that sometimes when things like this happen it helps to reinstall the RPM and then uninstall the RPM. I tried that but it didn't help. Then I looked into the /etc/pulse/default.pa file, and went into the ### Load Audio Drivers section and put in this: load-module module-alsa-sink load-module module-alsa-source device=hw:1,0 and commented out everything in the ### Automatically Load Drivers section so hal-detect wouldn't be used. That helped some. But now I think I understand what is causing my trouble. The motherboard sound chip is getting recognized as hw:0 (default), and the Audigy2 ZS is getting recognized as hw:1. I think RealPlayer 11 is using hw:0 as the output, hence it's getting kicked out on the motherboard speaker. In prior versions of ALSA, I remember a program called alsaconfig (or something close to that) that let you specify the order of your sound chips/cards. I would always set the Audigy2 to become hw:0. I need something like this for PulseAudio. Then some of these older sound programs which always use hw:0 would be using the Audigy2 instead of the motherboard. Any ideas? Thanks All, Stephen. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
