 Posted: Thu Sep 30, 2004 10:47 pm Post subject: ALSA Default Device questions (SOLVED) |
 |
|
OK I have been struggling putting in a new card in my computer to work with ALSA. Well I just found out today that it has worked all along but it is somehow not the default device. I had another card that worked in this computer that was on the motherboard. Now I fear that somehow I am pointing to the wrong ALSA device. If I fire up XMMS and go to the preferences and set Output Plugin to ALSA I get no sound at all save a small click when the song starts. XMMS freezes and looks like nothing is happening. So I push stop on XMMS then go to preferences again and click configure just below ALSA and there instead of choosing default I choose hw:0,0 then push apply and test again and wah lah I have music playing and I start dancing. Now I go to say kmplayer and I can choose ALSA but not the device. Same with arts and xine and gxine and all the others I have tried. So How in the world do I set ALSA to use my now one and only card as the default???\
Thanks for any help you can give me

Hello there!
in /etc/modules.d/alsa you can choose the cards
## ALSA portion
alias snd-card-0 snd-ens1371
alias snd-card-1 snd-via82xx

| Actually that is already set and there is no mention of my old card yet the default is not the new card. There must be somewhere else that the "default" is set. |

My /etc/modules.d/alsa looks like this is there any other place that can set the "default" card? Or is there something in my alsa file that is wrong?
# Alsa 0.9.X kernel modules' configuration file.
# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/media-sound/alsa-utils/files/alsa-modules.conf-rc,v 1.2 2004/07/18 03:40:55 dragonheart Exp $
# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
##
## IMPORTANT:
## You need to customise this section for your specific sound card(s)
## and then run `update-modules' command.
## Read alsa-driver's INSTALL file in /usr/share/doc for more info.

You can always set the default device in ~/.asoundrc
| Code: | pcm.!default {
type hw
card 1
}
