Hi Anhony, My .asoundrc: pcm.snd_card { type hw card 1 }
pcm.dmixer { type dmix ipc_key 1024 slave.pcm "snd_card" slave { period_size 256 buffer_size 2048 rate 44100 } } pcm.dsnooper { type dsnoop ipc_key 2048 slave.pcm "snd_card" slave { period_size 256 buffer_size 2048 rate 44100 } } pcm.duplex { type asym playback.pcm "dmixer" capture.pcm "dsnooper" } pcm.!default { type plug slave.pcm "duplex" } And my script whos change the default card: $ crontab -l | grep sound @reboot ~/scripts/sound_card_fix $ cat ~/scripts/sound_card_fix: sed -i '/[[:space:]]card .$/s/.$/'"$(cat /proc/asound/cards | grep USB | awk '/USB/ { print $1 exit }')"'/' .asoundrc I hope this help you On Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 9:40 AM, Anthony Campbell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 20 Nov 2008, Javier Barroso wrote: >> Hi Anthony, >> On Thu, Nov 20, 2008 at 3:05 PM, Anthony Campbell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> ... >> > The modules loaded seem to be the same whether sound works or not.
