(Warning: I'm just guessing here...) By default, PA finds soundcards via module-{udev-|hal-|}detect, which probably will pick up your physical card rather than the alsa !default. So you might try something like | load-module module-alsa-sink device=softvol in default.pa to make PA use the softvol device. Alternatively, you could try to duplicate the alsa config by following http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/FAQ#CanIusePulseAudiotocombinetwostereosoundcardsintoavirtualsurroundsoundcard HTH, Jan -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
