Hi Gary, I have been poking around on my new OpenIndiana and it seems that my audio is also located on /dev/sound/1
How can I get a configuration somewhere sow that the system uses it instead of trying to use /dev/sound/0 I put AUDIODEV=/dev/sound/1 in my profile but that does not seem to help Cheers, Lonnie On Mon, Apr 1, 2019 at 9:46 AM Gary Mills <[email protected]> wrote: > On Mon, Apr 01, 2019 at 07:49:15AM +0000, Alexander Pyhalov via > openindiana-discuss wrote: > > > I've looked through your patches, attached to > > https://www.illumos.org/issues/9732 and have one big question.
