Well, it's a really weird thing for Kubuntu to not offer the user a panel to manage available sound devices (or at least to set the default one).
I confirm the problem reported by "tmp", I have 2 soundcards on my system, an Audigy PCI card and a on-board Nvidia CK804, everytime I boot the system I have problems with apps such as Twinkle which cannot find the selected audio device since the ALSA assigned indexes are shuffled from time to time (i.e. sometimes the Audigy is plughw:0, sometimes it is plughw:1, it's unpredictable), timidity and WINE use the default ALSA device too so I have problem with those apps too. I've tried different methods, using asoundconf, tinkering with ~/.asoundrc, etc., the only one working for me (and for other users on the official forums) is setting an index for the sound modules related to the soundcards' drivers by hand in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base or in /etc/modprobe.d/<customfile> like this: options snd_emu10k1 index=0 #Audigy options snd_mpu401 index=1 options snd_intel8x0 index=2 #Nvidia CK804 After doing this the ALSA indexes are fixed. We really need a Kcontrol module to handle this options. I thinks the following bugs are (in part) related to this one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/45786 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase/+bug/31893 -- No (easy) way to configure default sound card in Kubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/108187 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is a bug contact for kdemultimedia in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
