All you have to do is in system.pa comment out this line #load-module module-udev-detect and in default.pa add 2 lines referencing alsa device you want pulse to use load-module module-alsa-sink device=dmixplug load-module module-alsa-source device=dsnoopplug this should be "hw:X,X" if you have real sound card with hardware mixer, or whatever you called the software mixer you setup in /etc/asound.conf for no-mixer hardware and then delete/rename /usr/share/alsa/pulse-alsa.conf to prevent default output switching to pulse -- Nick Koretsky (nick.koretsky@xxxxxxxxx) ____________________________________________________ tde-users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
