After removing all other "options" commands, this is what I added to the end of
Code: Select all
gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
Code: Select all
#added by me to select default card
options snd_ca0106 index=0
options snd_hda_intel index=1
options saa7134_alsa index=2
options snd_hda_intel index=3
options snd-usb-audio index=4
After removing Pulse ( as per instructions in http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.p ... 31#p547731)
But
I am having problems setting the default card.
I found http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Asoundrc but it's a lot of fiddling around which ( some peolpe are going to hate me for this ) in pulse was very simple and easy!
The reason I removed pulse was to get to get pass through from VLC to my one of my digital outputs which works like a charm now
Any one know of a better/simpler/quicker way to do this
UPDATE
Two days after posting this I got feed up not having and sound ( on my local speakers ) so I reinstalled pulse which works fine. I have also checked my 5.1 digital output using ALSA out from VLC and I have what I need for now ......
How ever I still would like to have my local speakers as Default and not the TV card the way it should be ! ie. the volume keys on the keyboard work again
So I am not going to post Solved as it's not and I'm sure I'm not he only one that has this problem after removing pulse.
With out going into the in's and out's of Pulse etc. I always found it the easiest way to route things and never let me down in that sense. I use Jack on other PC's but being a sound guy / musician I'm not intimated by "spaghetti" but this facility is missing in a nice simple GUI form in ALSA WHY
UPDATE 2
Now I understand .....NOT ................no flash being streamed to Pulse and no systems sounds
So I really need to have my ALSA problem solved Pulse or no Pulse !
