[Solved/Thank You]How do I set one sound card as default?

[Husse]

More facts please

You have to tell us more facts.
The minimum is exactly which Mint you have (Edition, version)
We also need to know a bit about all your hardware.
Run " lspci " in a terminal and post here (To copy from a terminal right click)
Some wifi and possibly built in sound can be connected to USB even if they are internal - if you suspect you have one of these run " lsusb " in a terminal.

I only find this sound card in the list
00:06.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP55 High Definition Audio (rev a2)
This is really an Intel HDA8 so for that any solution for HD8 works
Is the Audigy a USB card?
If internal you have to get the right Creative driver - please search the internet for Audigy and Linux or Ubuntu or Mint and driver
You'll find the useful info with ease. I have too many questions to answer to find the time to do this.

Why did I not see that?
Anyway it can be USB even if i'ts internal
In a terminal

Code: Select all

cat /proc/asound/modules

This gives you a list of your sound cards (rather the drivers = modules)
I get
0 snd_intel8x0
1 snd_hda_intel
Next step is a little editing

Code: Select all

gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base

You add some options - still using my cards as an example

options snd_hda_intel index=0
options snd_intel8x0 index=1

This has now made snd_intel8x0 the default
I think you get it
