no sound in kde except skype and welcome sound

[Simonheld]

Hi,

Up to recently I used a analog Headset for sound (movies, youtube etc) with a broken micro and a usb-headset for skype (I still used the half broken headset because of the better sound quality for movies and music)

Now the analog headset is completely broken and i need to use the usb-headset for everything.

Problem is I don't manage to tell that to kde.

Notice that in skype it works fine and upon login I hear that annoying welcome sound, too.

I put the corresponding device on top of the preference list in phonon, I click the "test" button, I hear the test sound.

Hi again,

I finally found something that I believe is not more than a workaround, but it seems to work.
I found it here http://forum.kde.nl/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=85091.

Basically I had to create a file ~/.asoundrc in my home directory with the content
