Posted: Fri Jan 22, 2010 6:49 pm Post subject: Non-default sound card for IM |
|
|
OK I have almost solved all my IM problems except for this one...
How can I set up either pidgin or empathy with non-default sound card? I have no microphone plugged into my normal sound card, but there's a built-in mic in the webcam and I'd like to use it. However empathy seems to have no audio settings at all. Pidgin has an audio settings plugin and it correctly identifies all my devices, but it seems to do nothing when I change the settings and when I open the dialog next time, everything is back at "Default". Please help! |

Thanks, that's what I've done eventually. Though I'd much prefer pidgin remembering the settings I give it!
I have used this ~/.asoundrc file:
Code: |
pcm.!default {
type asym
playback.pcm {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmix:0,0"
}
capture.pcm {
type plug
slave.pcm "hw:1,0"
}
}
