IIUIC pulseaudio (PA) uses sinks provided by alsa. So, if after first starting X (and this then starting PA), PA can't see the second card, then I'd check firstly whether alsa provides these sinks at this moment:1. My situation, on bootup pulseaudio only recognizes the bad card 2. I have to kill it then I can select correct one, either by pacmd or gnome-control-center if I have a desire to run a gui. 3. Surely we have someone on the list who knows what we can do to configure the pulseaudio startup to select the correct devices? Mitchell
$ aplay -L $ aplay -lDoes the output to these two commands change after you killed & restarted PA ?
According to man pulseaudio and man pulse-client.conf, there are various conf files which can be used to set the default sink device definition: /etc/pulse/default.pa and /etc/pulse/pulse-client.conf, and their counterparts in the ~yourusername/.config/pulse/ directory. There are also hardcoded defaults, and all current config can be viewed by
$ pulseaudio --dump-conf -- Klaus
