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

Your memory is quite good, there was that setting well hidden in plain sight :)
Thnak you, Nik

Anno domini 2021 Sun, 30 May 09:16:43 +0200 Oh, one thing I forgot: Now that I know where to set the default soundcard for kmix, wouldn't it be a nice thing if kmix could write ~/.asound.conf and set the default soundcard for the current user when he changes the soundcard?

open an issue on TGW ;)
'eh? actually I don't have a ~/.asound.conf file, so what app normally creates it?

None, that needs to be done by hand. IMO there is no program to set the default soundcard for alsa other than doing it with the editor of your choice by either editing/creating /etc/asound.conf (global) or ~/.asound.conf (on user base). Things might be different with pulseaudio, but that thing never worked for me, probably the bad carma of it's creator still sticks on it.
