Did this actually work? I have three systems with dual audio devices, but I've never seen the GUI. Pulseaudio just sent the audio to the first device, /dev/sound/0, which happened to be the wrong one. > When it > is not used, it's unclear how user should select audio device.

I didn't do any switching, at least not intentionally. I didn't know that you had switched. When was this? The problem with mod_oss is that it's only suitable for Linux. I understand that Linux OSS was based on Solaris OSS, but the two have since diverged and become quite different. The upshot is that Linux OSS is not compatible with illumos OSS. The way to select the audio device is to set AUDIODEV in your environment. For example, I have this in my .profile file: AUDIODEV=/dev/sound/1 The name is also exported in that file. This technique also works for the /bin/audio* commands. -- -Gary Mills- -refurb- -Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada- _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
