[Alsa-user] GETTING RID OF SOUND/HDMI PROBLEM

[Kristoffer Gustafsson]

Hi.
on my computer I get the problem that linux takes hdmi as my first soundcard.
I know how to change that when linux is installed, but I want sound on
an installation/live linux cd or dvd.
is there a way to fix this thing?

Are you running a distribution that has all the GUI and configuration 
software included to manage audio? If so, you should be able to find an 
option for changing your default audio device.
If you aren't running a system with a GUI and all the associated audio 
configuration software packages then this is a common issue and a royal 
pain to resolve with only configuration. The *ONLY* reliable way I've 
found to deal with this using a distro that doesn't run all the 
supporting configuration management packages is with a startup 
configuration script either using the alsa commands or the /proc entries 
to find the right card you want and then modify ~/.asound.conf or 
/etc/asound.conf

I've had very unreliable results using all the driver module parameters 
you'll find strewn throughout all the forums and in the docs. Sometimes 
they work, sometimes they get ignored.

Hi.
the thing is that I've got a screen reader when installing.
I just type s att the boot prompt and it stops speaking.
I'm thinking of buying a pci soundcard instead.
Is there a way to disable the hdmi then If I get a new card.
I'm thinking of creative audigy rx.
Now I've finally managed to change default soundcards.
When doing that before I failed, but I looked in the wrong files.

Re: [Alsa-user] GETTING RID OF SOUND/HDMI PROBLEM

[JB]

Again, it depends. If you buy a sound card which uses a kernel driver 
module different than the one for your HDMI and onboard audio, then yes, 
you can disable it by blacklisting the driver module currently being 
used for the HDMI card and buying the soundblaster would likely achieve 
that since nearly all on-board audio chips are either intel, real-tek, 
or whatever AMD is using these days. The problem with disabling it is 
that typically the HDMI sound is driven by the same kernel module that 
manages your motherboard's on-board sound. Like I said, I have had very 
mixed results with disabling it using kernel module parameters and 
disabling the module entirely, while something of a "nuke" approach, is 
the only truly reliable method I've found for doing so. That is 
especially true with the Intel driver which is a PITA with this 
particular issue.
