Hi all! I have a little mess up with ALSA on one of my computers. The computer has two sound cards: one of them, an integrated Intel (lspci related output in [1]) and a audio device from Nvidia, for using with an HDMI video and audio cable (see [1]). Both cards are supported (the Nvidia one, through the proprietary Nvidia driver, I suppose). I can put sound on both using a program that allows selecting the audio output (I'm currently using Smplayer, a Mplayer front-end). My problems began when I tried to make the HDMI sound output (the nvidia card) as the default for the whole system. I tried with Pulseaudio, but configuring it from Gnome brokes my gnome session and I have uninstalled whole Pulseaudio stuff. I know that you can select the default sound output using a ~/.asoundrc file, and I already tried, but I can't get it properly working. How can I check with aplay/speaker-test ALSA tools the right syntax for both cards? How can I make the HDMI one the default for my whole system? Best regards and thanks in advance [1] $lspci | grep -i audio 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) 02:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1) -- José Luis Segura Lucas
