Hello, I am trying to get audio to work again after a Fedora 8 -> 9 upgrade. Thanks to the wonderfull setup pulseaudio is not really easy to manage although I want just one simple thing. We have: # cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [NVidia ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia HDA NVidia at 0xf4100000 irq 23 1 [M2496 ]: ICE1712 - M Audio Delta DiO 2496 M Audio Delta DiO 2496 at 0xa000, irq 18 2 [HDMI ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI HDMI HDA ATI HDMI at 0xf3010000 irq 16 # lspci -nn 00:07.0 Audio device [0403]: nVidia Corporation MCP65 High Definition Audio [10de:044a] (rev a1) 01:08.0 Multimedia audio controller [0401]: VIA Technologies Inc. ICE1712 [Envy24] PCI Multi-Channel I/O Controller [1412:1712] (rev 02) 02:00.1 Audio device [0403]: ATI Technologies Inc RV630/M76 audio device [Radeon HD 2600 Series] [1002:aa08] I just want the on-board HDA-Intel (card 0) to be used as default by pulse-audio. Pulseaudio has nothing to do with the M2496 card nor with the HDMI card. Both the Nvida and HDMI card use HDA-intel as driver. In the past the Nvidia card worked OK, but now the HDMI card is detected/recognised so pulseaudio thinks it must use the HDMI card and/or the M2496 card. Not just the Nvidia card. Due to the very intuitive PCI-ID numbers and the easy controls to tell pulse-audio what card to use and what card NOT to use I am seeking help here. So in a nutshell: pulseaudio works, just not with the right card. How do I explain pulseaudio to bother with just alsa card 0? Kind regards, Udo
