pulseaudio is running, so it takes over control of alsa settings. Everytime the pulse daemon starts, it will reset alsa to it's own defaults, ignoring whatever you try and set. That's how pulse works and is literally one of the reasons why so many slackware users flat out refuse to run pulseaudio.
Ben, What's a better alternative? I thought pulse audio was the new standard.
Go into pavucontrol an select the Configuration tab. You should see each audio device listed. - One for your video card (HDMI) - One for your motherboard chip - One for your USB device
On top is HDA ATI HDMI with all profies off. Under HD-Audio Generic is a dropdown list with two analog stero choices, 2 digital stereo, and a bunch of analog surround choices for the profile. I now have Digital Stereo (IEC958) Output selected.
Do you see the USB device listed in pavucontrol's configuration tab? Does it have a name?
No and no. Rich _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
