Bonjour, I try to permanently configure the sound on my computer but it always fails. By default, when I log-in the config is set to iec958-stereo-output which does not work and I have to manually change to output:analog-stereo+input:analog-stereo I firstly list my cards using pacmd list-cards: (I quote only the card I want to configure) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------> index: 1 name: <alsa_card.pci-0000_00_1b.0> driver: <module-alsa-card.c> owner module: 7 properties: alsa.card = "0" alsa.card_name = "HDA Intel PCH" alsa.long_card_name = "HDA Intel PCH at 0xf7430000 irq 35" alsa.driver_name = "snd_hda_intel" device.bus_path = "pci-0000:00:1b.0" sysfs.path = "/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1b.0/sound/card0" device.bus = "pci" device.vendor.id = "8086" device.vendor.name = "Intel Corporation" device.product.id = "1e20" device.product.name = "7 Series/C216 Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller" device.form_factor = "internal" device.string = "0" device.description = "Audio interne" module-udev-detect.discovered = "1" device.icon_name = "audio-card-pci" profiles: input:analog-stereo: Entrée Stéréo analogique (priority 65, available: no) output:analog-stereo: Sortie Stéréo analogique (priority 6500, available: no) *output:analog-stereo+input:analog-stereo: Duplex stéréo analogique (priority 6565, available: no)* output:analog-surround-21: Sortie Surround analogique 2.1 (priority 1300, available: no) output:analog-surround-21+input:analog-stereo: Sortie Surround analogique 2.1 + Entrée Stéréo analogique (priority 1365, available: no) output:analog-surround-40: Sortie Surround analogique 4.0 (priority 1200, available: no) output:analog-surround-40+input:analog-stereo: Sortie Surround analogique 4.0 + Entrée Stéréo analogique (priority 1265, available: no) output:analog-surround-41: Sortie Surround analogique 4.1 (priority 1300, available: no) output:analog-surround-41+input:analog-stereo: Sortie Surround analogique 4.1 + Entrée Stéréo analogique (priority 1365, available: no) output:analog-surround-50: Sortie Surround analogique 5.0 (priority 1200, available: no) output:analog-surround-50+input:analog-stereo: Sortie Surround analogique 5.0 + Entrée Stéréo analogique (priority 1265, available: no) output:analog-surround-51: Sortie Surround analogique 5.1 (priority 1300, available: no) output:analog-surround-51+input:analog-stereo: Sortie Surround analogique 5.1 + Entrée Stéréo analogique (priority 1365, available: no) output:analog-surround-71: Sortie Analog Surround 7.1 (priority 1200, available: no) output:analog-surround-71+input:analog-stereo: Sortie Analog Surround 7.1 + Entrée Stéréo analogique (priority 1265, available: no) output:iec958-stereo: Sortie Stéréo numérique (IEC958) (priority 5500, available: unknown) output:iec958-stereo+input:analog-stereo: Sortie Stéréo numérique (IEC958) + Entrée Stéréo analogique (priority 5565, available: unknown) off: �teint (priority 0, available: unknown) active profile: <output:iec958-stereo+input:analog-stereo> sinks: alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.iec958-stereo/#0: Audio interne Stéréo numérique (IEC958) sources: alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.iec958-stereo.monitor/#0: Monitor of Audio interne Stéréo numérique (IEC958) alsa_input.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo/#1: Audio interne Stéréo analogique ports: analog-input-front-mic: Microphone avant (priority 8500, latency offset 0 usec, available: no) properties: device.icon_name = "audio-input-microphone" analog-input-rear-mic: Microphone arrière (priority 8200, latency offset 0 usec, available: no) properties: device.icon_name = "audio-input-microphone" analog-input-linein: Entrée ligne (priority 8100, latency offset 0 usec, available: no) properties: analog-output-lineout: Entrée ligne (priority 9900, latency offset 0 usec, available: no) properties: analog-output-headphones: Casque audio (priority 9000, latency offset 0 usec, available: no) properties: device.icon_name = "audio-headphones" iec958-stereo-output: Sortie numérique (S/PDIF) (priority 0, latency offset 0 usec, available: unknown) properties: <------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The profile I am interested in is: output:analog-stereo+input:analog-stereo So I type: pacmd set-card-profile 1 output:analog-stereo+input:analog-stereo And I get what I want, sound is working. Then I put this command in my ~/.confg/pulse/default.pa: echo 'set-card-profile 2 output:analog-stereo+input:analog-stereo' > .config/pulse/default.pa And this does not work: in the log I get this strange answer: mars 21 18:15:11 dipankar pulseaudio[8071]: No card found by this name or index. mars 21 18:15:11 dipankar pulseaudio[8071]: �chec lors de l'initialisation du démon *No card found by this name or index* but pacmd found this card with that index!!!!!! How to correct this system misconfigation? The best would be that at boot time the right card would be detected: ie card 0 device 0 as listed by aplay -l: **** Liste des Périphériques Matériels PLAYBACK **** carte 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], périphérique 0: ALC892 Analog [ALC892 Analog] Sous-périphériques: 1/1 Sous-périphérique #0: subdevice #0 carte 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], périphérique 1: ALC892 Digital [ALC892 Digital] Sous-périphériques: 1/1 Sous-périphérique #0: subdevice #0 carte 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], périphérique 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] Sous-périphériques: 1/1 Sous-périphérique #0: subdevice #0 carte 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], périphérique 7: HDMI 1 [HDMI 1] Sous-périphériques: 1/1 Sous-périphérique #0: subdevice #0 carte 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], périphérique 8: HDMI 2 [HDMI 2] Sous-périphériques: 1/1 Sous-périphérique #0: subdevice #0 Thank you. -- François Patte UFR de mathématiques et informatique Laboratoire CNRS MAP5, UMR 8145 Université Paris Descartes 45, rue des Saints Pères F-75270 Paris Cedex 06 Tél. +33 (0)6 7892 5822 http://www.math-info.univ-paris5.fr/~patte -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
