Ok, another TDE/ALSA soundcard thingie:
I have 3 soundcards on the system:
$ cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [MID ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel MID
HDA Intel MID at 0xf3120000 irq 37
1 [NVidia ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia
HDA NVidia at 0xf3000000 irq 17
2 [Creative ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Creative
HDA Creative at 0xf3200000 irq 16
Headpones are on card #2 - which is also the default soundcard:
$ cat /etc/asound.conf
defaults.pcm.card 2
defaults.ctl.card 2
With this in place all programs use #2 as default soundcard. There's just
one exception: kmix. The kmmix systrayicon uses #0 - always. As do the
VolUp/VolDown keys and mousewheel-over-kmix-icon.
Now my question is: kow do I persuade kmix to use #2 as default and not #0
? Any idea?
Hi Nik,
This might be wrong, trying to remember from several years ago :(
Try one (or all) of these:
- Start KMix
- Left click on the KMix speaker icon in the task bar
- Click Select Master Chanel
- Set Current Mixer = [PulseAudio] or [the sound card you want]
If you chose PulseAudio then configure it:
- Open Pulse Audio Volume Control
- In Output Devises "Set as Fallback" (check icon) the sound card you want to
use
- then when an app ignores that, start the app* and
- - in Playback select the sound card
* Apps only show up in Playback when they are running, such a pita...
Hopefully that'll give you enough direction to solve what you need?
Best,
Michael
