Looking at your output, you should probably use
dmix:1,0 or plughw:1,0 (try
both)
Also, asla-source probably should be plughw:1,0
But you also need to set dmix:1,0 or plughw:1,0 (same one you set for
pulse to use) as default output for alsa by adding this to /etc/asound.conf
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmix:1,0"
}
you can test with aplay -D device-name somewavfile.wav that its is correct
device and it actually work
Okay, so I made these changes. The lines in default.pa and system.pa follow
your recommendations. I also have created /etc/asound.conf and copied those
lines to that file.
The result is no change whatsoever: smplayer does not play sound at all, just
the video; whereas vlc plays both sound and video.
This isn't the end of the world. VLC is pretty good, but I find it a bit
awkward to navigate my playlists, etc.; for this, smplayer is much more
convenient, in my opinion, but now it doesn't work.
I will return to the suggestions made in these posts, and study on that web
page (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PulseAudio/Troubleshooting) to see if
I can get it to work. No doubt I have missed something, but at present I am
stumped.
