Yes, of course. The user belongs to audio group. If it doesn't, I won't be able to play any audio using mplayer or the 3.5 jack output.

I don't recommend to use it, but for audio it's better than a clean Debian install, since for good reasons, it ships without pulse. Hi troll! ;-) I agree with you. The only reason I have to install Pulseaudio is that Debian installed at the beginning of the times for me. It's a dependency of Gnome, I think. I know some adventages of using Pulse (it must be more flexible to configure... but I can argue that). The Debian I'm tuning is only for HTPC usage. I want to run a standalone XBMC and forget about the rest... but I can't configure the audio of XBMC. I assume that configuring Alsa with a .asoundrc will be helpful, but the point will be uninstalling the not-desired software (Gnome and Pulse, for example) and keep the system as lightly as I can. I hope that when I uninstall pulseaudio I will have more control about my system's sound :-) P.S. AVLinux looks great, but 32 bits???

There at least is one other drawback, it installs and starts with Compiz and for Nvidia cards it installs nouveau by default. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Problem with Alsa and HDMI audio output
Hi! I have a computer with a HDMI output. If I use the default audio output (3.5 jack) it works fine, but when I try to use the HDMI one, I have some problems. I tried to configure it using the pulseaudio GUI, I can't get it working. If I use a program that allows to select which audio output use (mplayer for example), I select the hdmi output and works fine. I tried using a .asoundrc file, but pulseaudio seems to ignore it... Any idea? Thanks in advance -- José Luis Segura Lucas desde mi teléfono

Why do you have pulse installed, resp. for what exactly do you need pulse? If you're using Linux there's something we call self-responsibility. If pulse cause an issue, than why do you use it? Pulse isn't needed. If it's a dependency of your DE, than get rid of that odd DE. Regards, Ralf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
