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
