Right; you've routed 'default' through the pulse alsa-lib plugin. > But > if I run tvtime or MythTV, I don't get any sound. A couple distros don't route either of those through 'default' but through the older OSS API (/dev/dsp, /dev/audio), and at least a couple route the latter through ALSA's plughw, all of which generally collide with pulse on modern integrated HDA. > I don't know if the problem is with pulseaudio, the card, or > tvtime/mythtv. ?Any ideas on what I should do? Ideally you would route them through pulse; some distros patch them to allow limited functionality through pulse's alsa-lib plugin or the alsa mixer interface. Best, -Dan
